Rare erber Posted August 28, 2015 #26 Share Posted August 28, 2015 We used our coffee card on the Emerald. One punch, 3 scoops. Thank you for clarifying. I know we can't get banana splits etc. at the IC, but I'll take gelato! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tucson Jim Posted August 28, 2015 #27 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Sine we are elite, we are able to switch out the complimentary mini bar for two coffee cards (we do not drink soda or much alcohol). So we wouldn't mind using the coffee card for gelato (even if it costs less to pay with "real money"). :D How did you go about doing this? Call passenger services or what? Thanks!

Rare erber Posted August 28, 2015 #29 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Room service. Yes, as Colo Cruiser states, you call room service and they will trade out your entire mini bar for two coffee cards. You can also swap some of the items in your mini bar around, but I do not recall the particulars of that as we are not interested in the mini bar items. As soon as we get settled in our room after embarkation, we place a call to room service to take care of the switch out of the mini bar. It has always been taken care of quite promptly.

IECalCruiser Posted August 29, 2015 #31 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I do not believe that a 15% gratuity is charged for gelato either at the IC or at Gelato's. I know for sure there was no 15% added at the IC. Cost for three scoops is $1.50 total. The Gelato's menu indicates there is a 15% gratuity added to alcoholic sundaes, but I do not think it applies to non-alcoholic purchases. Now that you mention it, you are right; at least about gelato from the IC. Interestingly, the do add gratuity to the milk shakes at the Ice Cream Bar. Guess that counts as a beverage.

A Pisces Posted August 31, 2015 #32 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Can I get a specialty coffee and a fresh brewed coffee at the same time? I like to mix the two. Also, can I get two fresh brewed at the same time, if I want to take it back to my balcony to drink? Thanks!

While not specifically stated, the unlimited fresh brewed coffee is probably intended for one person. I have seen posts where only one fresh brewed was allowed at a time. YMMV. One fresh brewed and one specialty is no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victory2020 Posted September 2, 2015 #36 Share Posted September 2, 2015 They would not let me get 2 brewed coffees at the same time on the Golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Pisces Posted September 2, 2015 #37 Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) I guess I'll just have to ask, since I need two cups in the morning, and I would rather only make one trip to the café from my room, then two. I like to sit on the balcony, and sip my coffee, while my DH sleeps in. Thanks for the input from everyone!

I like to sit on the balcony, and sip my coffee, while my DH sleeps in. Thanks for the input from everyone! DW has brought her large insulated mug and they filled it at the IC with the coffee card. I was even able to get hot water at the same time to which I added a tea bag from the HC. Plenty of warm coffee to sip on the balcony. As with anything Princess, YMMV.
