Cruisin Sal Posted March 14, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I was recently on the Sapphire Princess. My bar set up included 2 bottles of scotch. They had discontinued the Canadian Club. I don't like scotch or their brandy! I drink bourbon. Is this change system wide or just on the Sapphire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Elite bar set up on the Royal two weeks ago (actually we had 4 of them on a B2B in a full suite) definitely had Canadian Club on it. I would guess that the Sapphire just ran out of their stock on hand and by telling you it was discontinued, that was a good excuse. ;) The Royal actually ran out of Diet coke, so no diet coke on the Elite bar set up this time either. Yep, they didn't discontinue it, they just ran out of it. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gertz Posted March 14, 2011 #4 Share Posted March 14, 2011 You can get anything you want. They always leave a little of everything including beer. Call room service tell them to pick them up and exchange them for what you want. When they bring them to you give a tip they will remember you when you order bacon and eggs from room service next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donna5 Posted March 14, 2011 #6 Share Posted March 14, 2011 On our cruise in Oct. the Carib Princess said they didn't get their order, so they didn't have all the choices of liquor for minibar. They also didn't have all the bathroom amenities either for the suites. (was looking forward to the eye mask again.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob & Beckys mom Posted March 14, 2011 #7 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Just on Ruby and no Canadian Club, Dewars scotch instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was always told in the past that they did not have anything in mini-bottles, but the four types you got with the setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanatravel Posted March 14, 2011 #10 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I learn something everyday on Cruise Critic. As Platinum members of Princess and with an uncoming European cruise, can you explain what is an Elite Bar selection and how does one order it? Thanks in advance.

paul929207 Posted March 14, 2011 #11 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Elite members get one per cabin. It consists of 8 mini-bottles and two cans of coke, sprite, water, beer, tonic and mineral water. The eight minis can be swapped around, so we usually get 8 gins. The twelve others can also be swapped, so we would get 12 cans of sprite zero. minis can be swapped for sodas and such, but not the other way. All 20 beverages can be swapped for one bottle of wine. You don't have to order it, it shows up the first afternoon. You can then call room service or talk to the cabin steward if you want to swap.

Never knew that about the wine.. we were always told wine was not available. We always swap the 8 mini bottles of liquor for beer, and a few of the sodas for water. Seems like you're giving a lot for 1 bottle of wine, though.. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northcreek Posted March 14, 2011 #15 Share Posted March 14, 2011 If there are 2 Elite passengers sharing a cabin do you get 2 packages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roses2 Posted March 15, 2011 #16 Share Posted March 15, 2011 No, only one set up for 2 elites. However, in a full suite an elite does get 2 set ups. We trade for all Courvoisier, a great way to finish the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul929207 Posted March 15, 2011 #18 Share Posted March 15, 2011 If there are 2 Elite passengers sharing a cabin do you get 2 packages Nope, the Elite mini setup is one per cabin. It does not matter how many Elites are in the cabin. If you are Elite and in a Suite, then you get two setups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Hlitner Posted March 15, 2011 #22 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Its always bothered me that the Elite options did not include any scotch so, if this has recently changed, its good news. We have a shelf full of little bottles of SKY Vodka and Courvoisier here at home from the mini bar since we usually take a box of wine and only sip wine on the balcony.

tennis1000 Posted March 15, 2011 #23 Share Posted March 15, 2011 The selection varies by cruise. We were just on the Emerald b2b2b and they had canadian the first cruise, only scotch on the second, and canadian again on the third. They said it just depended on what was delivered when they were in port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
