We have booked two - 7 day cruises in the summer of 2020. If I purchase any arcade cards or coffee cards and do not finish them on the first cruise, will they be valid to use/finish on the second cruise?
 
We were told on Allure in October that the coffee card could be brought back on a future cruise. I don't know about the arcade cards. I also wouldn't take my word it since the person on Allure could have been wrong. You could try asking on the Royal board on Cruise Critic. They might have more recent info.
 
I have carried over my coffee card from Anthem to Brilliance to Serenade.

I don’t know about carrying over the arcade credit. But a word of warning - my sister and parents got my kids arcade credit for our Nov Anthem cruise. It was a Royal PITA. If you have credit preloaded, they WILL NOT let you deactivate arcade charging on the card (my kids had no credit card linked to their account. But in the arcade it doesn’t matter. RC still lets them charge in the arcade. You have to actually go and request they not allow this, but if they have any arcade credit they claim it can’t be blocked until it’s all used).
There was a machine in the arcade that was supposed to tell us how much was left on the cards. On two of my kids’ cards, the machine worked and we could easily keep track. The other two would not register on this machine. We had to repeatedly go to guest services to see when it was down to zero. Actually, we started going to the casino to get help because apparently they are in charge of the arcade.
It was a horrible waste of our time, and the arcade was small and many of the machines wouldn’t work on a consisentent basis. And they never refilled the claw machines. Within the first couple days my kids mastered them and had gotten all the stuffies that could possibly be won.
I hate to be so negative, because as a child I lived for going to arcades. But my kids really weren’t impressed, and since one accidentally ended up charging about $25 to the room, we were even less impressed.

This was not our experience on liberty of the seas last July. I preloaded $100 for my daughter and didn't allow her charging privileges. it wouldn't let her play over the $100. To add anything to her seapass i had to give her cash. On the other hand the hard scoop ice cream shop let her charge 8.00 (not a big deal) and told her to just tell me about the charge.

I wish Anthem had been like this.
