jameslee Posted January 28, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I got the 10 dollar credit from status matching but it says $10 speciality coffee daily from ground club. I know it only appears as ground club on statement but would jojo tea work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameslee Posted January 28, 2023 Author #2 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Also I got the $100 bar tab but it seems my coffee purchases daily is deducted from that first before my $10 credit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_tacocat_ Posted January 28, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 28, 2023 The $10 credit can be used for coffee/tea. It ultimately won’t use your bar tab. It may take a day or 2 for the charge to come off initially, but if it’s still there, just go to sailor services and ask them to remove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cantgetin Posted January 29, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 29, 2023 The $10 PER CABIN per day credit at The Grounds Club can be used for anything at The Grounds Club that has a cost.....tea, coffee, coffee with alcohol in it, hot chocolate (made from powder). There is no cost for the food there, so just drinks. You will see a charge on the app and it will then "fall off" supposedly overnight. As above, if it doesn't, make a trip or app chat with Sailor Services. No, your coffee will not be deducted from your bar tab if you have the Deep Blue Extras, unless you exceed the $10 per cabin per day. If by some mistake it is, again contact Sailor Services.

wendysimon Posted January 29, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 29, 2023 What about the kombucha they sell in a can, vinegar shots or two shots of alcohol hold the coffee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might also come down to who you get "back of house" clearing the costs. Like most of the VV charges its done manually by someone in the office. They might look at status / cabin and just go "grounds club $9 today, clear that", or they might open the bill and go "booze, leave it on". It does state coffee, and generally its viewed as a hand made drink, so i think booze, cans of stuff and packs of coffee beans etc might be pushing it a little. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameslee Posted January 30, 2023 Author #8 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Ok I checked and got coffee charges first day and second day but it is forth day and it didn’t fall off yet I was told by sailor services it will be taken off at the end last day of cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm, added booze shots do not come off of the bill. Neither does coffee purchased through places other than the grounds clubs (restaurant dessert drink menus, ship eats). I thought I was being clever ordering it through ship eats to cover the delivery fee and then have the cost removed, but instead it just resulted in lukewarm coffee that I had to pay for.

Correct that the Deep Blue Extras is only good for beverages purchased at THe Grounds Club, not premium items ordered thru other sources (like Ship Eats.) I can confirm that our specialty tea and hot chocolate from The Grounds Club did have the cost reversed thru Deep Blue Extras. I see the "double dipping" you were trying to do, but that won't work. And, I'd still rather pay for tea leaves thru Ship Eats than just pay the $5 delivery charge. I'm afraid to try the juice because the tea water and soup broth is served in the same carafes that are used for coffee--meaning that they acquire the coffee taste and smell. The tea comes as tea leaves with the brewing pot and I can get hot water from The Grounds Club or The Galley ....usually the next morning because I don't want to go running around at night. Of course, if you want alcohol, you can order that thru Ship Eats and save the delivery charge. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raphael360 Posted January 31, 2023 #14 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I sailed twice this month and just came off last Sunday. The coffee price is almost always $4 and my charges showed up in my wallet the same day I purchased the coffee. They mysteriously disappeared the next day. I drank 2-3 a day and my bar loot picked up the extra $2. It's great 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
