Hi,

 

Using this thread to ask about coffee.

1st time cruiser next year, my father in law is the main drinker - mainly espresso and black coffee.

Is there any place it is free or is there any package as I read here?

 

Thanks

Regular coffee is free at all food venues. Espresso drinks are extra cost.

Im sailing on Allure in August. Is this foe Starbucks too? I was going to get my kids a Starbucks gift card to throw in their Christmas Stockings and wonder if this is the same. Thanks.

I am pretty sure it is not valid at the Starbuck's kiosk.

The RC coffee card does not work at the Starbucks on Oasis class ships. However, a Starbucks gift card will work at the Starbucks on Oasis class ships.

We got a coffee card while on the Liberty. In my opinion one of the best values you can buy on Royal Caribbean ships. Cool thing is that if you don't use all the "punches" it can be used on another sailing.

Just wanted to tell everyone asking about the coffee cards what my experience was. I purchased it for my husband for our Med cruise on the Brilliance back in May, 2017. I had the beverage package so didn't need the card. When I purchased it, the card specifically said 1 punch per drink. When we got on board they were punching based on espresso shots. That, obviously, is a completely different price point and eliminates any value from the card.

 

When I got off the ship I contacted customer service with my complaint about the inconsistency. I even had a screen capture of when I purchased it. I was refunded the entire price of the card.

 

This was back in May. I'm surprised that they still haven't gotten this issue straightened out. I'd suggest that no one buy the card in advance and check with the baristas before purchasing on your sailing.

 

I do think all of you folks that were charged per shot need to write and complain. The card still shows per drink on the web site, so take a screen capture and include it with your complaint. You'll at least get your money back and maybe if enough folks complain they'll finally get their act together on it.

Oh I understand. I just think it is ridiculous that she got charged more than she was supposed to. I am not sure why RCI cannot have everyone on the same page? Seriously... a memo should do it. LOL

Agree, but I'm not sure you are supposed to use it for future cruises. She's used this on at least 3 trips. Same with the cocktail punch card. 😉

So I paid 31.00 for a card. With18% it's about 36.50.

 

That averages put to 2.40 per punch.

 

If I buy a large Cafe Latte it's 4.25 and if I use a punch Card it's 4.80?

 

Srsly?

 

I'll complain pretty loudly.
