gooch47 Posted October 28, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 28, 2013 We were very disappointed when they stopped including bourbon in the Elite Setups. Has anyone ever tried to swap out the liquor in the setup for a 375ml of Jack Daniels or Crown Royal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted October 28, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 28, 2013 We haven't tried it but if you can get coffee cards for the set-up, why not alcohol that you prefer? It's definitely worth a try. You can usually swap out the liquor too. Have you tried getting bourbon in exchange for the vodka, for example?

gooch47 Posted October 28, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted October 28, 2013 We always swapped out all the small bottles of vodka, gin, etc. for the little bottles of Canadian Club. But they don't have the small bottles of Canadian Club any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooch47 Posted October 28, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Nope. Its been the same whenever I asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chamima Posted October 28, 2013 #6 Share Posted October 28, 2013 So what did you get instead? I remember 2 vodka, 2 Canadian Club, 2 gin and 2 Courvoisier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wp bob Posted October 28, 2013 #7 Share Posted October 28, 2013 You can also swap liquor you don't like for beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoodqueen Posted October 28, 2013 #8 Share Posted October 28, 2013 On the Golden last month, my bar set-up consisted of 8 beer; 2 mini bottles of gin, plus pop and water. Another time I got 4 mini bottles of wine; 2 each of 4 different spirits plus pop and water. Obviously it isn't consistent throughout the fleet. Anyone know how it is decided?

gooch47 Posted October 28, 2013 Author #10 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Unfortunately, we don't like any of the provided alcohol and aren't that crazy about beer. I just want the bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Avery Posted October 28, 2013 #11 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Last month on the Star in the Suite mini bar setup, we could only swap for minis of Jim Beam. We had pre purchased several of the 375ml bottles of Jack Daniel's so were happy.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll try again in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish you the best. We are also bourbon drinkers (if we can't get Jack Daniels) and we have not been able to get any bourbon or CC whiskey in our mini bar setup in over 2 years and six Princess ships. Just scotch which I have tried many times but still can't swallow (my Scottish ancestors must roll over in their graves). Let us know if you have any luck.

cubfan63 Posted October 29, 2013 #14 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I keep waiting for someone to point out that Canadian Club is not a bourbon. Bourbon is only made in the United States. Canadian Club is a whiskey as it is made in Canada. Jim Beam is a bourbon. My recent mini bar set-up had Dewar's Scotch, so I traded that and the gin for cognac. I would have kept bourbon or Canadian whiskey. Room service told me they only have scotch now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooch47 Posted October 29, 2013 Author #15 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Sorry. We obviously aren't big drinkers so I really don't know the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
