olegna Posted October 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 22, 2018 How do I go about exchanging my Elite Mini Bar setup for a coffee card and what are the latest benefits of the card? Is the gelato still available on the coffee card? Thanks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partybarbie Posted October 22, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) Call room service and they will come and pick up the Elite Mini Bar. The coffees will be loaded on to your cruise card. You can have all 30 put on one card, or split the coffees and put 15 on each card. If you print a copy of your passenger account, you may see a charge, but it will be followed by a credit, similar to the way you see a charge for the free laundry, followed by a credit. It may take a couple of hours for your card to be loaded, but the barista can check that for you. Just ask before you order.

Rare Hlitner Posted October 22, 2018 #4 Share Posted October 22, 2018 A few weeks ago we were on the Regal and did the swap. Soon after getting into our cabin I called Room Service and was amazed that anyone even answered (it is usually hard to get through on that first afternoon). When I asked to swap our mini bar for 2 coffee cards they simply ask for our Folio Numbers (this is on your cruise card) and then told us that somebody would be around later to pick up our mini-bar stuff. As to gelato, you can no longer use coffee card punches for gelato. During our 14 day Regal cruise we spent a lot of time sitting in the atrium and noticed that the Gelato place did very little business. For those who are familiar with how good gelato can be in Italy and France, what they sell on Princess is a very distant cousin. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new restrictions on the coffee card make it stupid to buy but if you don`t drink liquor then you have no choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always exchange the liquors for soft drinks or water. Even those in a suite who get free bottles of water could trade the liquors for sparkling water.

justafem Posted October 23, 2018 #9 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Our last cruise, we called room service to trade our minibar for 2 coffee cards. Coffee cards were in effect that day. Weird thing is, that nobody ever came to get the minibar and we took it home with us. Never a charge. Gave the minibar to my employee when we got home.

jtcoolk Posted October 26, 2018 #10 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I haven't cruised on Princess for a few years. Do you still get a seperate coffee card that needs to be punched or is it something else now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No physical card anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcoholic beverages can be exchanged on a 1 for 1 basis for other alcoholic beverages or bottles of water or cans of soda. There are a total of 8 bottles of spirits and two bottles of beer, so you can exchange them for a total of 10 cans of soda or water. You can not get OBC.

vmom Posted October 26, 2018 #16 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Its not a 1 to 1 exchange for water. I exchanged my mini bar twice for sparkling water and each time I got 20 bottles of Perrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
