Cove coffee card may no longer carry over

[allears]

No, it doesn't have a date stamped on it. They have changed the card design, so they are going to know the old ones for now.

My husband went disembarkation morning to buy 2 coffees which finished our new card. The CM took it from him and told him it would not be good for a "free" coffee for a future cruise. Poor husband did not ask any questions.

Too bad he didn't think fast enough to ask for his free coffee then.

Exactly, but we had already ordered 2 large Americanos. It might have made for a very interesting trip home with that much coffee in us.

Too funny. We were just saying, if it were us and we had our wits about us, we might have given the person standing next to us whatever they were going to order. Or like you said we'd be hyper cafinated!

Shhhhhh...... don't give them any ideas.

You're so right! Shhh! I'm a die hard Disney cruise line apologist, but this just seems petty and stupid.

When I worked for a speedway gas station my boss said all they had to do was sell one cup of coffee and the entire pot was paid for.

I don't drink coffee and I can't equate gas station coffee to dcl coffee but if 69 cents pays for a pot I have no interest in paying $3+ at Starbucks or anywhere else

If it's just a card that's stamped, how do they know which cruise it's from? Does it have the cruise date stamped on it?

They started doing this a while back (at least for crew on the Magic), they just wrote the embark date on the back of the card with a big fat sharpie...

If this is the case, then they should make the card cruise-length dependent. If you take a 3 night cruise, it's nearly impossible to drink that much coffee! We didn't even fill a card on our last 7 night!

It takes us three 7 night cruises to fill up a card! We drink coffee but don't need the specialty ones, the regular coffee on board is fine. But we do treat ourselves to one Cove Cafe drinks each voyage.

Great. My husband's already through with insane dcl price increases. He loves that coffee card. This will only further confirm for him that Iger has ruined Disney.

I was on the January 6 Wonder cruise and had my card from a previous cruise. The CM gladly took it and added my old stamps to the newly designed card and tore up the old card. Said nothing about it not being able to carry over. How new is this?

OP reported "Just off the Magic".

Just got off the Magic and the Cove coffee cards cannot be brought back onboard and continued. Each card is only good for that cruise.

So, all you coffee lovers, plan accordingly.

Thank you. As we know usually they do things fleet wide so if it is true it will probably hit all the ships eventually.

Don't like this potential wrinkle, but some how I don't think Bob Iger makes these types of decisions.

Hoping not! Going to try and use ours next week!

 

[wilkeliza]

I didn't even know you could bring the card back. I assumed this (and the beer mug) were for the current cruise only but found out different from here.

 

[bumbershoot]

Just more of "falling in line with what other cruise lines policies are" mentality?

Meanwhile, Royal just started selling an espresso card (called a "coffee" card but brewed coffee is different than espresso, and it's not *coffee* they are charging for) that, on some ships, can be brought back LOL.

Poor husband did not ask any questions.

Oh husband...

Brewed coffee on ships is free. Espresso is not. If you're at Starbucks paying $3+ bucks you're getting espresso, not brewed coffee. So it really can't be compared to a pot of brewed coffee.

That's a bummer. I just pulled ours out last night for our cruise this Saturday. We were commenting how we only had two more coffees before the free one.

Can not understand the logic, other than making you buy five coffees on one cruise. We typically only get one each, prefer not to pay for the specialty coffees.

Bring it anyway! We sail Saturday and there hasn't been a formal announcement....I say bring it just in case you can use it.

Well this bites as I have two coffee cards from our previous two cruises that I was planning on bringing back on our next cruise. One only needs 2 more stamps and the other needs 4 (only because I lost the first one somewhere and finally found it at the end of the cruise).

Let us know, will you? Have a great cruise!
