Jedi Jason Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 I don't know the pricing but I am sure someone could help us out on that. It is a punch card which could be shared unlike the royal refreshment package which also includes soda and fresh squeezed juice and mocktails. You get a certain number (around 10) of specialty coffee drinks like lattes, fraps, ,etc. for use at cafe promenade or other locations except a Starbucks kiosk if your ship has one for a set price. Of course if you use the entire card it would be a good value as opposed to purchasing them a la carte or a drink package unless you would take advantage to the other drinks offered.

Marc Van Niekerk Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Do it. We purchased on Syyand if you don’t have a deluxe beverage package that includes espresso and premium coffees it is the absolute best way to enjoy.

Marc Van Niekerk Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 It is indeed a punch card. 15 drinks good at the non Starbucks on ship. I have heard that some ships may punch twice for two shot of espresso but on Symphony they did not do that. We paid about $38 on cruise planner pre cruise. Keep an eye on prices and re-price if it changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it on the Oasis for my older Grandson. There are 10 punches on the card. If you do the math, it made each specialty coffee about half price. It was a good deal for him as he only had the soda package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoski Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Search here for your ship and see if they punch once for any size or two for medium and three for large. If they do more than one punch which seems to be the norm now then the card is not a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KathyC Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 We had it on a seven day Adventure sailing and they punched one per drink for the small or medium size. We had a hard time using 15 punches, to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyw Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 We've purchased the card on our last 3 cruises. It was always one punch per drink regardless of the size. I have heard people tak8ng about getting "charged" 2 punches for the bigger coffee which is a rip off. I sent a letter to the CEO last week asking for a company wide decision. If it's one punch per drink, it's a great deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldie 2001 Posted February 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 How many places on oasis class have specialty coffee other than starbucks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakerette Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 Cafè promenade, I think park cafe, some of the speciality resturants like those in Central Park. There could also be more places that serve speciality coffee onboard other than Starbucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This varies by ship. Some have the specialty coffee available in the Windjammer and also in the Vitality Cafe in the Spa area. The only real consistent location is Cafe Promenade. My memory is that Oasis and Harmony have it in Park Cafe, but I know that Symphony did not. Perhaps a review of old Cruise Compass' from the ships would help?

Cafe Promenade and any restaurant that has access to an espresso machine. I cannot think of a specialty restaurant or MDR where specialty coffee was not available.
