OnVacation11 Posted June 13, 2013 #1 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Does anyone have any recent experience exchanging their Elite bar set up for a coffee card? I have read on CC that it is possible but did not see any official information. I am interested in doing that on my upcoming Ocean Princess cruise. Thanks for any information.

When we were on the Grand in January, etc. We got a form to fill out to do the swap before the setup was distributed. One option was the entire setup for two coffee cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casavaha Posted June 13, 2013 #6 Share Posted June 13, 2013 On our recent 3 day LA Vancouver cruise on the Island. I exhanged my Elite setup for 2 coffee cards. I called room service, they came to my cabin when I was at the Muster Drill, took everything in the refrig. and left me two coffee cards. A good deal. Now on the Royal Princess I find I can exchage one punch for a gelato. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky for the economy there aren't too many like me. But I do like chocolate; ice cream included. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeMates Posted June 14, 2013 #12 Share Posted June 14, 2013 If you exchange the minibar for the coffee cards, are they marked for the specific cruise you're on, or are they brand new, blank cards that can be used for another cruise? I have cards on hand with lots of punches for the Alaska cruise we're going on next month, but would like a couple brand new ones for future use. Thanks.

We sailed a few weeks after Pia; Ours were filled in on the back before they were brought to the room. I think it's because a manager was consulted to do it. So there's a "Blank Coffee Card Fairy," and sometimes she smiles upon you, sometimes she does not. Of course, the more it is mentioned, the more likely enforcement becomes.

IECalCruiser Posted June 15, 2013 #18 Share Posted June 15, 2013 We are Elite and just got off the 11 night Baltic cruise on the Emerald and were in a full suite on an upsell offer. Traded one of our mini-bars for two coffee cards. We were there when Room Service brought our first set-up and I asked for two coffee cards but she was unaware off the option. When we called Room Service, the person who answered was familiar with the option and we got two cards appropriately marked in about 10 minutes. Was able to get 10 Beck's in exchange for the 8 mini bottles and two Dos Equis for the second setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you still get the non-alcoholic part too? We are set for 12 day Greece and between DH and I we want beer and diet coke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
