williebos Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Are you allowed to only purchase one card and if so, is your eg. spouse allowed to use it as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantix2000 Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 The coffee cards are shareable and I'm sure you can buy more than one. However, there is an ongoing issue where some ships punch the card once per drink (any size) and others punch the card once per shot of espresso (1,2,3 punches for small, medium, large). The first method makes the coffee card a great deal (and this is the language the website uses). The second method means the coffee card can end up costing more than buying the individual drinks. If you buy ahead of time, print a copy of the website language so you can complain to guest services and get a refund if necessary!

KathyC Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 They never go on sale - so there is no benefit to buying it online ahead of time. It will be the same price on the ship. You can wait until you get aboard, find out how they use the punches, and go from there. DebbieK74 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williebos Posted November 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 Hi KathyC Thanks for the reply. Excuse my ignorance. My cruise planner states 15 spes coffee for sale at 31us. My interpretation thus is 15 coffees and not shots . I agree this might be open for interpretation. Anybody used this card lately on Allure?

henrysea13 Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 I have seen the cruisers in front of me use them. They were punched multiple times for one coffee it pays to get the royal refreshment package instead of the card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiny260 Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 If I remember what I read, a regular coffee was one punch, but anything special, cappuccino or espresso etc., was multiple punches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Adventure, they punched one spot for a tall or grande, and two punches for a venti. They punched whether or not you had an espresso drink or not, as they were using the higher quality coffee in every cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
