If someone is an iced tea drinker, is there any advantage to getting the Coffee Card for iced tea?

Specialty coffee/tea drinks use a punch from the coffee card.

It depends on how many you plan on drinking.

 

Iced tea in the buffet/DR etc is free.

My friend drinks ice tea all day, and gets it from the buffet, etc. and pays nothing. If you like specialty teas like Chai, you would need the card.

I always have a coffee card for my wife but for iced tea she still prefers to just get it at HC. She's tried the fancy teas and wasn't all that impressed so she uses her card for foo foo coffee and gets her tea at the buffet.

ice tea is one of the free drinks. Always available in the Horizon court.

Unless it's changed, the FREE ICE TEA at the HC and dining rooms is unsweetened, which I prefer. You can always add sugar. When they serve it in the Dining rooms, they often provide sugar packets for you to add.

My wife always gets the specialty teas from the IC at no charge with her coffee card & makes he own ice tea in bulk for the day. It's much better that what they give you in the buffet...so she says.

Iced Tea is an included beverage. Nothing is FREE but many items are included in your cruise fare.

If you have a coffee card you can have coffee or tea at the IC which you can then have poured over ice. There is no additional charge or punch for doing it that way. My DW and I have done it hundreds of times.

DW loves her tea...but does not like to pay for it at the IC :). So she always carries a few tea bags (which she can get in the Lido) and, when at the IC, just asks for a cup of hot water (free). She thinks that the gourmet teas (she prefers Earl Grey or English Breakfast) at the IC do not taste any better then the stuff just sitting out in the Lido.

Is there any freshly brewed iced tea on the ships????

[cr8tiv1]

I always get a coffee card. I am a decaf person. There is one specialty tea bag at the Coffee Bar that is a decaf tea bag. They make me ice tea with that decaf tea bag...at no punch to my card. Well worth it. There are about 10 different tea bags to select from. Very fancy teas. Much better than any ice tea served in the buffet or dining room. I find the (free) ice tea to be much too strong.

The buffet iced tea is instant made with a tea syrup plus water when you pull the lever. I assume that the iced tea you get from the specialty coffee house is brewed.

I agree with your wife, the iced tea and even regular coffee is better in the International Cafe, plus if you get tea there they will give it to you in a to-go cup and you can take it off the ship, which is really nice in the heat of the caribbean.

I make my own ice tea, I get 3 large glasses from bar the go to buffet put one tea bag (provided at buffet) in each glass take glasses back to room to cool down. now just add ice. I'll drink 4 to 6 glasses a day.

We just ask iced tea from the waiter at the buffet anytime it is open. It's free like the lemonade.

In the Lido buffets and MDR the answer would usually be a big no. However, it is easy to make your own in the Lidos by simply making a cup of tea and pouring it over a glass full of ice. In the International cafe they will make if for you....but that will cost you a few dollars or a punch on a coffee card. We have cruised on 14 lines and the only time I recall seeing pitchers of freshly brewed ice tea was on the Crystal Harmony....many years ago. Not sure if Crystal does this these days...although on that line you could probably just ask and it would be done.

This is just my opinion and I don't think so you can get iced tea for free in the HC.

I get a coffee card all the time but it's just for the coffee.

The iced tea is free, but it is truly awful. I love iced tea, but won't drink the disgusting stuff they try to pass off as iced tea on Princess. People complain about the coffee, but Princess coffee is delicious compared to their iced tea.

Hi Anne:)

I believe Thrak is referring to a fancy coffee, not a plain ol regular. Like a Foo foo drink refers to a cocktail, umbrellas and garnish:p
