Coffee, Coffee, Coffee and Diamond Vouchers

[TessOR]

Our cruise next week will be the first time we use drink vouchers for diamond loyalty and coffee is our "cocktail".

• Can these be used at the Starbucks onboard, or is that a separate entity altogether?
• I use a Starbucks app - do you know if this can be used onboard for payment, points, etc?

Packages and vouchers can't be used at standalone Starbucks, only ship venues which just happen to serve Starbucks

You can use this app or a Starbucks gift card to pay and earn points. You can not redeem stars onboard.

Are you aware there is a coffee machine in the Diamond Lounge that you can use virtually 24/7 without vouchers?

I realize you may prefer Starbucks coffee or drinks beyond what the machine offers, just mentioning it.

Yes, thank you!  We have never used it - but we have used the one in the Concierge Lounge and I am sure it is similar.  Great for hot coffee.

I love over-complicated blended icy coffee drinks - hence Starbucks

You can use the starbucks app with preloaded cards on it to make your purchase?  You don't have to use your ship onboard account?

That is where I get my "specialty" coffee.  I'm not a coffee snob lol

At the actual Starbucks locations on the ship, yes. If they sell Starbucks food items, they'll take the gift cards.

You can get any specialty coffee drinks you’d like at Cafe Promenade with your drink vouchers and they’re actually good!

that's nice to know.  i think i would rather pay for it through my starbucks app than add it to my onboard account.  I usually have money loaded on my starbucks app.  Thanks!

On Vision of the Seas last week, the Diamond Lounge machine was great.  I still used my vouchers for an occasional iced latte from Cafe Latitudes (Promenade on larger vessels).  In the end, we only used about 60% of our vouchers, even with canned water for excursions.

If only the machine could make iced coffee drinks...
