moki'smommy Posted July 18, 2018 #26 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I might have missed this ... what happens with leftover ` punches` on the new system? Do you lose them? The new coffee "package" expires at the end of your cruise. No carry over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mel8kri Posted July 18, 2018 #29 Share Posted July 18, 2018 If you don’t have a card, how do you keep track of the “punches” you have used? Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted July 18, 2018 #30 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Maybe their next move will be to confiscate FCC deposits instead of refunding them if you don't cruise within 2 years time. :rolleyes:That's what Carnival did with our deposit. I did not realize at the time that Carnival did not send out refunds automatically like Princess does. As it stands, I have $100 I can use against a Carnival cruise booking. I'm still waiting for a response to my complaint to Princess about the made-up expiration date on coffee cards that did not have one. I know we won't use up all of our remaining punches on our upcoming cruise in September and don't have another cruise book right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voljeep Posted July 18, 2018 #31 Share Posted July 18, 2018 simply ask the barista when they ring up your coffee...same as the PBP 15 daily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted July 18, 2018 #32 Share Posted July 18, 2018 The new coffee "package" expires at the end of your cruise. No carry over. Does anyone have information regarding b2b's? Carryover when you have a single onboard account, single cruise card? Do you think Princess has even figured this out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GottaLuvCruising Posted July 18, 2018 #33 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Can someone who is up to speed on this multi-thread challenge please help me. 1) I have one leftover coffee card from our transatlantic last year. Are the remaining punches still valid? 2) I have already purchased, via Cruise Personalizer, a coffee card for each of us to use on our upcoming Hawaiian cruise. Is it still valid for unlimited regular coffee on that sailing? 3) Regarding card above (in question 2) am I correct in thinking this change simply means we must use our 15 specialty coffees each on the sailing for which the card is purchased?

rustinsmommy Posted July 18, 2018 Author #34 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Can anyone tell me if the brewed or specialty coffees that Princess offers are actually any good? Is it equivalent to a Dutch Bros.or Starbucks sort of place or just better than the reconstituted stuff in the buffet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the CB two weeks ago, regular brewed tasted like McDonalds coffee...weak to me. When they first started the coffee was much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Princess has even figured this out? This should be interesting since I'll have two mini-bar set ups..and honestly haven't figured out what to do with the second one. First will trade for two coffee cards. Reality, 2 of us will not drink 30 specialty teas in 1 week, probably not in 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it equivalent to a Dutch Bros.or Starbucks sort of place or just better than the reconstituted stuff in the buffet? I just got off the Grand on Sunday and had the coffee package. I was not a fan of the specialty coffees and really wished they had cold brew as an option. My go to ended up being a red eye, which is brewed coffee with two shots of espresso and then I added cream. I like dark roast coffee and found this option was the closest to that. This was nothing like Dutch or SB, in my opinion. Their teas are good though, both hot and iced. I didn't think I would use all 15 of my drinks but I actually went over and had to pay for a few because I liked an iced tea in the afternoon!

You can get a plain ice tea (with lemon and sweetener if desired), at no charge--they are happy to brew a cup of tea using the premium brands at the IC and pour it over ice for you...or at least they were in the past. I can't see why it would matter to them whether you had a cup of hot tea or had it poured over ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare geoherb Posted July 18, 2018 #43 Share Posted July 18, 2018 1) I have one leftover coffee card from our transatlantic last year. Are the remaining punches still valid? The remaining punches are valid until the expiration date on the back of the card, if there is one. If there isn't one, they're valid until Aug. 31, 2019.

ukestrummer Posted July 19, 2018 #44 Share Posted July 19, 2018 If not planning to book a cruise BEFORE next year Aug 31st , you might as well use ALL the punches. I believe they will GIVE you cards that EXPIRE end of THIS year 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccndfw Posted July 19, 2018 #46 Share Posted July 19, 2018 What can you use the coffee card for? I have never purchased one, but looks like I will have one on my upcoming cruise.
