Snoopsmom2 Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 I thought you could not use a Starbucks card on the ships. However, the other day I read you can use it to purchase things, you just can’t use it to redeem anything free. What’s the actual story here?

AshleyDillo Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 You can use the Starbucks card to pay for your purchase at the Starbucks kiosks on the ship. You can't redeem rewards/stars, but you will get stars earned for making the purchase. If you use the app for your card, remember that you will need Wifi to pull up the app, so if you aren't paying for VOOM on the ship you need to screenshot your payment screen so you can pull it up..or you need to use a physical card.

coneyraven Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Keep in mind, the kiosks are only on a few, select, ships ....... the others may sell Starbucks products, but they are NOT Starbucks. So, it depends upon the ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually there is signage that says something like "Proudly serving Starbucks," these as @coneyraven said, are not Starbucks, they are just serving their products. If you like their coffee, then it isn't a problem, just don't expect to get your Unicorn Frappe, or one of those other exotic Starbucks drinks.

CruiseGus Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 If i remeber even on the Oasis class ships which normally have the actual "Starbucks Kiosks" your drink selection will be limited, a good variety but limited. Also note that will pay the 18% gratuity even if you are using your Starbucks card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dahdoul44 Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 We just sailed on HOTS over Labor Day and we were able to use the card and the app for sure in the Starbucks Storefront on the Boardwalk. It was very easy, selection looked to be the full menu and the prices were not that much more than Starbucks on land. And as said earlier you can get your points for purchases but cannot redeem any stars on board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
