flourpot Posted February 28, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I have read on here that you can switch out the alcohol in the Elite minibar setup for soda/pop/soft drinks. Does anyone know the types of pop available to chose from? I have heard about Coke and Sprite, but was wondering if you could get other flavors like ginger ale, root beer, orange, etc. Thanks!

Coveguy4 Posted February 28, 2015 #2 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I don't believe they have all the choices you mentioned. Have only seen Sprite and coke in my complementary mini bar set up. You can also exchange it for 2 coffee cards or a bottle of wine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARGIN Posted February 28, 2015 #3 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Sprite, Coke, Diet Coke, Tonic.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyosma Posted February 28, 2015 #4 Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) They also have ginger ale, Seagrams I think and Fanta Orange. I often ask about Root Beer but have never been able to get it. We get the ginger ale almost all the time but have never opted for the orange. It may not be offered on all cruises.

frankathy Posted February 28, 2015 #5 Share Posted February 28, 2015 We do not drink hard liquor so we trade mini bar for a bottle of wine. we also have gotten diet sprite, ginger ale exchanged for the coke, sprite, tonic and club soda. BIG problem is room service has to do it. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooch47 Posted February 28, 2015 #10 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Yes, room service has to make the switch, but it has always been done for us with no hassles at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2cruise Posted February 28, 2015 #13 Share Posted February 28, 2015 BIG problem is room service has to do it. Good luck! Never been a problem for us. We call when we get to our room and the switch is usually done by the time we get back from muster drill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoyosma Posted March 1, 2015 #16 Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) They have root beer now! got it over New YearsWhich ship? I asked on the Regal in January, they didn't have it. :-( Since they use Coke products, I am assuming you got Barques. True?

yoyosma Posted March 1, 2015 #18 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Thanks. Odd but I think I asked for it on the Ruby in November and they didn't have it either, but I may not have. I realized while eating dinner I spelled it wrong while pooring some of it into a glass. Just gotta put that u after the q. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankathy Posted March 1, 2015 #21 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I think it is the person you speak too. I asked to have the two dos Equis traded for two buckles non-alcoholic beer and told no. I called back later and no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare oskidunker Posted March 1, 2015 #22 Share Posted March 1, 2015 You used to be able to request what you wanted via the personalized. Not now. Strange thing is they always stock it exactly the way i set it up a few years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonhunter Posted March 1, 2015 #23 Share Posted March 1, 2015 We have never had a problem getting this replaced with a bottle if wine. It does seem strange that Princess will give you two coffee cards - a $60 dollar value - or one bottle of wine - a $30 dollar value. But we don't drink anything stronger than wine and don't drink beer or soft drinks, so it seems worthwhile. One coffee card seems to work for the two of us.

Rare Coral Posted March 1, 2015 #24 Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) For a mini bar trade? Yes - it is the only soda on the ship that I drink. So I often swap it for some orange soda and mostly water. I have done this many times, it has just been a few years since I sailed with Princess.
