Coffee Card Questions

[MsSoCalCruiser]

 I noticed on a video that the coffee bar has handcrafted ice tea fusions.   Do you know if those are unlimited with a coffee card or do they count as a punch like a specialty coffee would?    Has anyone here tried any of the ice tea fusions?  I wonder if they are comparable to the many tea shops that we have here in Southern California. Thanks!

they count as a punch.

 

i have tried the fusions.  i personally find them a bit sweet, and usually ask them to reduce the amount of syrup in them.  my favorite is the green tea pomegranate one.  although sometimes they were out of pomegranate, and they would make it with cranberry, which is also delicious.

I’m pretty sure they count as a punch. I never got one but a lady next to me did.  She handed her coffee card to the Barista. She had a old coffee card like I did they were still excepting them at the time.

Like everything at the International Cafe’, what is “supposed” to happen May or may not happen. Expectation should be that one drink will be missing from the package total after having a tea fusion but then again...

 

see back on track, all is well.

Yes, the iced tea fusions are a punch; hot tea (a single tea bag) is not a punch but included like regular coffee with the coffee package.

 

I loved the mint tea with sour apple and my mother enjoyed the favourite fruit one. I enjoyed them so much I purchased the torani flavourings for home to make my own.

There are no cards so no pinches any longer.  They have gone the way of several Princess items lately.

 

There is a coffee package available.

Us, old timers, will always refer to the  coffee card punches.  Many will not admit it, but everyone will "understand" punches for coffee.

 If someone says punch...you know what they mean.  Don't have to say there's no card to punch.

Yes Tea Fusion they take one off.... regular tea no.

Black Forest Freeze...YUMMMMY!

IIRC not tea, but made with coffee. Cherry, chocolate, coffee (or tea?) swirled in ice. Great on a warm weather cruise.

Hi ,

Im going on the Grand in January , you used to be able to use your coffee card for Gelato at the International café, is this still the case? Also can you use it to get milk shakes, icecream sandwiches by the pool deck? Thank you.

It sounds like this may be dairy free???  If so, I can’t wait to try it.

Thank you all for your replies.  Since the minibar doesn’t have Rum offered I’m thinking about swapping out for the coffee cards.

No to both questions.

The gelato punch was discontinued about 1 1/2 years ago.

 Thank you for posting this. I was going to tell my friend that she could use her coffee card for gelato.
