Coffee card on princess?

[BOBBON]

Is it true if you have not used all the punch outs on a coffee card it will no longer be honored on future cruise?

The better place for your research would be the Princess board, here:

lots of discussions there on the topic.

You will find this information in your personalizer, under onboard reservations, beverage packages, scroll down to coffee package, in the block under the information, you will see stipulations.

Sadly, there apparently is no longer a carryover to another cruise for remaining punches.

I'll be doing a 7 day AK cruise in a couple of months, and then a month after that's over I will be doing a 25 day transatlantic cruise on a different Princess ship.

As much as I would have liked to purchase a coffee card for the 7 day cruise, and use the remaining punches on the longer cruise, as I only use it for one early morning cup of coffee each day, it appears that I will not be able to do so.

It used to be that leftover punches could be used on subsequent cruises until they were all used up, but free plain brewed coffee could no longer be had those later cruises without using a punch. I had no problem with that.

But, since that's apparently no longer true, to me that equates to cheating me out of the full value of what I purchased ….. 15 cups of coffee. So I won't waste my $$ on something I cannot get the full value of.

I hear you on that. How does Princess think that people will use 15 "punches on cruises less than 10 days, drink 3-4 cups a day? I am having an issue with 10 days. I ordered the Celebration package which includes the coffee card, but after this, I probably won't get it again
