Grills mini bar

hi all, I am new to cunard and grills

I have a question about how we can use the drinks in the mini bar

Can we take a bottle of the wine to the dining room ?

Thank you

Ellie :)

You may choose two bottles of wine or two of spirits. Or one of each. I'm not sure about taking it to the restaurant, it isn't something we have ever done, or would even do, it really isn't that special a wine.

Ask your Butler, he'll know. You may be charged corkage - again I really don't know.

I was always told that the drinks provided in the grills rooms were for consumption in the rooms only. However, you may take your own alcohol aboard and pay corkage, but in grills?....

The "free" mini-bar is only in Queen's Grill. Everything in the fridge plus, as mentioned previously, the two bottles which your butler will deliver is free. In Princess Grill, everything in the mini-bar, except bottled water, will be charged.

I have never brought anything from the Queen's Grill offerings to the dining room, but a few times I have brought Champagne which was sent to us as a gift ordered through Cunard. We were not charged corkage.

The wine in the QG mini bar is for consumption in your suite. We have on a couple of occasions purchased nice wine ashore to share with our table companions in the QG dining room. We were charged corkage as we expected.

Hi ukellie,

My understanding in QG last November/December was that the contents of the mini bar (and extra bottles provided) were for in-suite consumption.

I purchased wine for dinner in the restaurant as usual. There was absolutely no need for me to take wine from my cabin to have with meals.

Enjoy your sailing with Cunard and your Queens Grill suite and restaurant. Photographs of my Q5 Suite (on Queen Mary 2, I think you're on Queen Elizabeth?) can be found towards the beginning of this album: www.flickr.com/photos/pepperrn/albums/72157676774009275

Bon Voyage.

I think I have misread threads, I thought you could request your preferences for the minibar to be stocked

Thanks for the info 😀

You are allowed to request your preference - from a number of spirits or red/white wine as shown on a list. And the odd item not on the list. But they choose the wine and it isn't great.

Some passengers gets these bottles replaced when used, some don't. I wouldn't bank on them supplying enough wine for you to not need to buy any further drinks.

Drinks absolutely should be replaced,and this is well documented, but only drinks for consumption in room on QG.

Do you get a choice of what beer is available as last time on a short trip it was only Heineken in the fridge so we didn't ask.

This time it's for 26 days so would like a choice...Also do they replenish beer and soft drinks.

Many thanks

Yes, they replace the soft drinks & beer. Ask your butler if you want something different.
