summernz Posted January 21, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Has anyone been on the Ovation of the sea recently and used the coffee card. Did they punch the card twice for a large coffee or just once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they punch the card twice for a large coffee or just once? I was on there just before Xmas and when they handed it to me (I had to collect it from the coffee shop - not delivered to the room), they said that it was one punch for a small, two punches for a medium. I never actually tested that, I just stuck to small coffee's after being told that. It is good value at 1-punch per coffee, poor value if they are double-punching for the med/large that is only 50c more to purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summernz Posted January 22, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Thank you, sounds like it would be best to get a small coffee. How strong was the coffee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arxcards Posted January 22, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 22, 2023 With your coffee card, it is based on the number of expresso shots. The small with a single shot gets a single punch, the medium and large are double shot that score 2 punches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it was pretty good coffee. Similar strength to what I usually get from your average coffee shop here in AUS. Only the single shot (which I think was only half because each coffee dispense was spread across two shot-glasses, and a small got one of them), but in a smaller cup which kept it to the "usual" strength.

No expert here, but I just paid A$52.63 for a 15 coffee card (using some of our OBC), which would put a single coffee at $A3.50. I don't think I can buy a coffee onboard for $A3.50, more likely it will be close to US$3.50 each (so maybe A$5 each??). So maybe there is value in the card?? 🙂 Good luck with boarding tomorrow mate - ENJOY!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
