Royal Caribbean coffee card

Has anyone been on the Ovation of the sea recently and used the coffee card.  Did they punch the card twice for a large coffee  or just once?

I was on there just before Xmas and when they handed it to me (I had to collect it from the coffee shop - not delivered to the room), they said that it was one punch for a small, two punches for a medium.

 

I never actually tested that, I just stuck to small coffee's after being told that.  It is good value at 1-punch per coffee, poor value if they are double-punching for the med/large that is only 50c more to purchase.

Thank you, sounds like it would be best to get a small coffee.  How strong was the coffee?

With your coffee card, it is based on the number of expresso shots. The small with a single shot gets a single punch, the medium and large are double shot that score 2 punches.

I have never bought the coffee card but I have been told by the experts there isn’t any saving in buying it.

Yes it was pretty good coffee.  Similar strength to what I usually get from your average coffee shop here in AUS.  Only the single shot (which I think was only half because each coffee dispense was spread across two shot-glasses, and a small got one of them), but in a smaller cup which kept it to the "usual" strength.

No expert here, but I just paid A$52.63 for a 15 coffee card (using some of our OBC), which would put a single coffee at $A3.50.

I don't think I can buy a coffee onboard for $A3.50, more likely it will be close to US$3.50 each (so maybe A$5 each??). So maybe there is value in the card?? 🙂 

 

Good luck with boarding tomorrow mate - ENJOY!!!!
