Refrigerators

[SteelMagnolia9]

I recently returned from my first cruise with Princess. My cabin had a refrigerator - I was pleasantly surprised as I've never had a refrigerator in my cabin and I found it useful.

 

Are there refrigerators in all cabins with Princess? Please don't take this as a silly question - I'd like to know as I'll probably book again with Princess in 2016.

 

I was in a Premium Oceanview cabin on my cruise, if cabin category is relevant.

 

Thank you!

All cabins have refrigerators.

I have never sailed in an inside, but I think they do. Certainly everything else does.

 

I know at one stage Pacific and Ocean didn't but I'm pretty sure they do now. I know lat time I was on Pacific she did in Balcony and above.

Princess has a mini frig in all cabins. They are great for cooling things. but not consistent if you need a steady temperature.

Keep your full uncovered ice bucket in there. It helps a little with cooling.

Happily, you can look forward to having a mini-fridge in all cabins on Princess ships. :D

I can attest to inside cabins having one.

I think I have heard it referred to as a "cooler" rather than a refrigerator. And every cabin (mostly balcony, an upgrade to mini once and full suite twice) I have had on Princess has had one. I consider it essential and have room service arrange to take back any minibar items therein.

On our past several Princess cruises our fridges have been amazing COLD ... so much better than they use to be. :D

We had medicine that that had about a 10 degree acceptable range. The frig was often above and below the range. Fortunately we were able to store it in a full size frig in the medical center

I am glad to hear that, I hope Diamond is the same.

 

 

I was tempted to say that none have refrigerators just cool (or barely cool) boxes.

THANK YOU! Another useful tip written on the Cruise Notepad!

And keep the cupboard door open as much as possible. This allows the heat generated to escape.

Yes, and the top of the fridge is a good place to dry socks!

[Colo Cruiser]

Tmi!

[shredie]

Tmi!

 

Socks is TMI? :eek: LOL.

Pam in CA had stated on another thread about the fridges that there's a thermostat on them so one can adjust the temp. Perhaps the folks prior to you turned down the temp.

[DougH]

Every Princess ship I've been on had one, I mainly stay in either an inside or outside cabin. The Pacific Princess does have them in the cabins.

 

I've never found them to be really cold no matter how I set the temp but I'm just keeping my sodas in there. I make sure the cabin steward fills my ice bucket daily and I'm a happy camper

Not always possible. On some ships opening the cupboard door also opens the fridge door.

Make sure the cabin steward leaves the full ice bucket in the fridge twice daily. It helps.

If you need more consistent cooling, for medication etc, just ask Stewart to put the ice bucket there, and refill it when he services the cabin. Worked very well.

THANK YOU! Another useful tip noted on the Cruise Notepad and a reminder to leave a note for the Steward to please leave the cupboard door open. This is something I wouldn't have thought of myself, but will action it thanks to your generous sharing of the information.:D

THANK YOU! Another point noted to be aware of, generously shared with other cruisers.

THANK YOU! Another point delightedly noted down-I will pass that on to my former work colleague S. who is also on the same cruise, and does like a cold soft drink after work!
