bareade1 Posted May 18, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Has anyone been on a Norwegian cruise recently and know if you can use the Starbucks App or gift card? I'm getting very conflicting information. Any information would be great! We leave in a couple of weeks on the Getaway so just wondering. Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konaflyer Posted May 19, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I was able to use a Starbucks gift card on the Getaway in February. Tied it to my Starbucks account number and earned points on every drink. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dajbman22 Posted May 19, 2023 #4 Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) To piggyback off this question, has anybody with either the unlimited Starbucks or the premium plus beverage package able to earn stars on their included Starbucks beverages? I am 90% sure that wouldn't be allowed (especially since you're not really paying directly for the drink and can really be abused), but I thought it would be worth asking/finding out.

I don't think you would because you need to use the app/giftcard to obtain stars and with the package they swipe your cruise card, I have used my Starbucks app on multiple NCL ships, including the Getaway. You don't need wi-fi to use the app but your balance won't update until you do get wi-fi or data. You can ask the barista for a receipt which will show your current balance after purchase (but I don't bother). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dajbman22 Posted May 19, 2023 #6 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I know that in land locations you can scan your starbucks card barcode to just earn stars but then pay another way, so that is where I was thinking this could be done, but I assume it probably would be really complicated on a ship. I may ask onboard if it's doable just out of curiosity, but again, I highly doubt it would be allowed even if the system on land allows earning stars without paying with a starbucks gift card. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinmeme Posted May 19, 2023 #7 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I used it many times recently on Breakaway. I put my gift card I had on my app. I always keep a good balance with gift cards. My balance didn’t update until I got off the ship. I didn’t have Wi-Fi . I am sure if I had run out of available credit it would of declined. It I knew I had loaded plenty of $$ . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j&bcruzing Posted May 25, 2023 #8 Share Posted May 25, 2023 We were on the Jewel and they would not let us use our Starbucks gift card or app. I am assuming this is a ship by ship case. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s see… how many stars for a drink with a cost of $0 with the package? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The app works. Expect to pay more than at your local Starbucks on land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
