Coffee card

[Traderboy]

Can anyone update me on the current procedure for getting and using a coffee card. Is it all done electronics on your key card now?

Is the basic idea still the same?

Coffee package is loaded onto your account. It is best to keep track of your 15 purchases as many have had issues with the total being used up early. I have had no problems. 

 

Yes, the basic idea is the same.

The price is higher now though.

Officially no carry over. However, many have reported that if you are on a b2b then any unused drinks do carry over.

Guess info is not on the Princess website

Still one of the best offers on Princess for those who enjoy a good cup of coffee or a very good cup of tea.

Worthless on a shorter cruise since any unused coffee credits vanish at the end of the voyage. Unless one is a prolific drinker of foo foo coffee you lose out.

one per day (7 day cruise) for each person in a couple is prolific ???

 

but, yeah ...

Okay... I see your point but I don't want to be tied to one person's timeline. I like to buy a coffee at times when I'm not necessarily with my wife and she does the same. We need to each have a coffee package and 15 coffees for one person in 7 days is pretty much - at least for me or my wife.

Can anyone comment as to whether the cost is different when purchasing now on the website, before sailing, versus waiting to purchase while on board?  Is there a difference in price?

Cost should be exactly the same. It has always been so in the past.

If your sailing is before August 31, 2019, then you can buy the old coffee card off ebay. You get 15 Coffees, but no free brewed coffee.

Coffee price is the same, purchasing coffee online, or while onboard is also the same. I agree that the coffee package of 15 coffees per person for 7 days is a bit too much 🙂

It really is a LOT of coffee. We recently did a cruise tour and on the 7 day southbound cruise we had 2 completely unused cards. We managed to use them up completely but did buy stuff for other random folks. Otherwise we never would have managed to use them. One guy said he was actually buying two and I told him to go for it. I got to buy hot chocolate for a younger couple in the evening. Stuff like that is kind of fun to do although some look at you like there must be a catch or something.

My DH & I don't drink that much coffee at home but on a cruise it usually is one specialty coffee in the morning & one at dinner.

 

During the day we drink maybe 1 or 2 of their cold specialty coffees.

To us 15 coffees isn't really that much at all per person especially after a hot day in the sun. 

If you run short on punches you can always make you own ice coffee at the buffet which doesn't taste that bad.

And they expire  if your cruise is after that do not purchase from anyone.

I'm seeing a glut of coffee cards on eBay recently. 

It looks like a fire sale. 🔥

Believe it or not, I still have a coffee card from 2011, with a number of punches still to go.  Will I be able to use this card, on my up coming cruise?

They're good up until Aug 31, 2019 .

bring your popcorn to the forum on 9/1 ... hopefully popcorn worthy postings ...

 

don't care about the people who can still use the old cards ... I want to hear from the people who get turned away

With the new "coffee card" on the S&S card, the free brewed coffee continues after the 15 espresso drinks are used up, through the one cruise. So even better iced coffee!

It used to work the same way with the old coffee cards as I recall.

The only time I like it hot is early morning & after dinner in the DR.

I usually use up my allotment for the cold iced coffee especially in the hot Caribbean.
