Would anyone have a price listing for the minibar contents?  Or perhaps know where one could obtain same?  Much appreciated?

I have often wondered about this.  You have paid for a drink package.  You can get whatever you want to drink almost anywhere on the ship. What's the difference if I get a vodka drink from a bar vs. the minibar?  Why do cruise lines not allow you to drink minibar contents if you have paid for an all inclusive beverage package?

One gets charged an unknown amount for each item used from the mini-bar as its not included in any package.  You can’t get a drink vía room service.  And you can only get one drink at a time per person so each time you want another drink you must go down/up to a bar to get another and bring it back to your room?  Thus the only way you can have two or three drinks while reading your book in the afternoon on a sea Day is to keep jumping up and running to the nearest bar?  Am I understanding this correctly?  This doesn’t seem terribly relaxing which (at least for us) is what a cruise is all about.  The only alternative then seems it would require you to buy a bottle from guest services pre-cruise which is delivered to your room at a cost - for Scotch - of $135.00 for a 26 oz bottle.  😣🥴😣

I think I will phone guest services and See you soon if I can obtain a list of mini-bar prices.  Perhaps other lines do likewise.  As I haven’t cruised in quite some time I really don’t know.

Thanks for all the help updating my cruising knowledge as I obviously need it!  😁😁

We always get the mini bar emptied as soon as we arrive.

A couple of folks have mentioned this.  May I ask why?  Perhaps you don’t drink alcohol and have no use for it, wanting the space for other items?  How much do mini bar items cost and what is supplied?  Can one ‘customize’ the contents choosing more of what you drink and having removed those you wouldn’t be drinking?

Its been a considerable number of years since we have cruised and I am feeling like I need to take a course!
