Ms. T Posted August 10, 2011 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2011 It's my understanding that the minibar will be well stocked? Do anyone know how much the sail & sign will be charged and what's in the minibar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockportgirl Posted August 10, 2011 #3 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Has anyone ever called and asked that the minibar be stocked with one or two things in particular? Say we wanted Bud Lite and vodka and no soda or wine. Seems like they might accommodate seeing as how we would spend more that way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okgirl Posted August 10, 2011 #4 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I'm surprised that she quoted you a price for snacks. I've been on 23 Carnival cruises and don't ever recall any kind of snacks being in the fridge???? I don't think they are stocked very well. Sometimes we have an assortment of liqours sometimes just 1 or 2. Most of the time we don't have wines. To the PP questioning customization. I don't think that is something that you could call and request in advance, but I would certainly ask your room steward to customize it for you. I always keep a very close eye on the charges on my S&S card because more than once the steward has charged me for something I didn't use. (He said he just got the rooms confused) And on the last evening or afternoon, I make sure to have him confirm that I haven't used anything other than what I've already been charged for and I have him lock the box right then.

discjoker Posted August 10, 2011 #6 Share Posted August 10, 2011 :eek: On top of the astronomical prices, there is a 15% restocking fee? That's ridiculous. Astronomical prices? They are comparable to ordering from a bar onboard (if I am not mistaken, exactly the same prices). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prices are about what I'd expect - and the restocking fee is in place of the gratuity you'd pay if ordered at a bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisin'grandma Posted August 10, 2011 #8 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Astronomical prices? They are comparable to ordering from a bar onboard (if I am not mistaken, exactly the same prices). You are right. The same price as any drink that you purchase throughout the ship. The 15% is actually the gratuity of what you consume. ????? Which is added to all drinks purchased on board. So.....remember that you do not need to tip the bar persons because it is already added to your bill. Unless they go above and beyond, of course. But, I think 15% is enough for them to do their best for you. My DH is a diet coke person. Only because they do not have pepsi products. But he B----es about the cost on board. I have to remind him that if he can't afford the extra couple of dollars for a soda, then he should not be on the cruise. He smiles and pays the price!!!

cruisin'grandma Posted August 10, 2011 #9 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I forgot..... The last time we cruised, someone in our group took their own soda on board because Carnival did not have it. The room steward removed articles from the fridge to make room for their soda. Not charged at all. We also had some items removed to put our champagne in the fridge. Not a problem at all.

ginnyanne Posted August 11, 2011 #18 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Are you allowed to empty out the minibar and leave things right there on the counter so you can put your own crap in there? I don't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
