azappraiser Posted August 16, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Are there fridges in the staterooms on POA? Thanks. We had one in our Aft balcony cabin... I asked our room steward to remove and inventory the mini-bar items so we could put our own drinks in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenn4ever Posted August 16, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) Thank you for the quick reply. I want to put our own bottles of wine in the fridge to keep for when we want a glass. We will be in stateroom 9094 midship. Edited August 16, 2015 by Tenn4ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranknBeans Posted August 16, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 16, 2015 By the time they cool it will be time to leave the ship. Get the room steward to fill your champagne container with every day and put the wine in before you go off ship for the day. Tip of course.

However, I would still like the option of putting a bottle of wine in the fridge but your suggestion is a good one. Thanks:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted August 16, 2015 #6 Share Posted August 16, 2015 This will work if you're looking for "wine cellar" temps, rather than "ice cold beer" temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitCatBrat Posted August 16, 2015 #7 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I asked an NCL rep about fridges and was told that all staterooms have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don't-use-real-name Posted August 16, 2015 #8 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Don't expect the walk-in cooler type ! LOL These mini-fridges have room for maybe 8 cans of beverages - or - 20 minitures of booze - or - at best 3 750ml bottles of wine - or - 6 325ml bottles - a dozen of the airline half-pints of water. With the service and use that these fridges get don't expect much. Maybe a slight chill of the contents. When you first check-into your stateroom empty the mini-fridge contents out and have some agreement with the cabin steward about storage.*** *** No matter what promo perks you have the stuff in the mini-fridge is NOT FREE ! Then turn any thermostats down to the coldest setting and put your chill-ables in and pray that they will be cold for your consumption later ! As a back up as noted above have the cabin steward fill the champagne ice bucket frequently. Don't have one request it. You could also bring along those freeze-able gel paks but then those things take up usable space and don't work if the mini-fridge is not fully working. You will know when your fridge is on the fritz when you open the door and the contents don't exhibit any frost or condensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndabunka Posted August 16, 2015 #9 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Not certain why people are saying the mini-fridge has problems cooling. Ours on the PoA July 25th-August 1st functioned just fine. We put 8 cans of Dr Pepper in there and had a bottle of sparkling wine (arrival gift we didn't drinkg) and a large bottle of water. No issues other than stacking the cans. Plenty cool enough. The contents of the mini fridge were literally pulled out and placed in a metal drawer under the fridge by our butler the first day while we were talking.

Tenn4ever Posted August 25, 2015 Author #10 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Thanks all for the great replies. We are looking forward to our cruise on the POA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmzav Posted August 25, 2015 #11 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) The fridge was small, but we didn't have any problems with it keeping things cool. I don't think it would hold a bottle of wine though. Here's what ours looked like: Edited August 25, 2015 by carmzav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane Don Posted August 25, 2015 #13 Share Posted August 25, 2015 That shelf is removable and a bottle or four of wine will fit nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmzav Posted August 25, 2015 #14 Share Posted August 25, 2015 It looks like that shelf slides completely out, so I bet it would fit larger bottles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don't-use-real-name Posted August 25, 2015 #15 Share Posted August 25, 2015 On some of the ships the inside of the mini-fridge door there are racks for miniatures; 375 ml wine bottles; nuts past their prime and those goofy gummy bears thingys ! So the type of mini-fridge will vary by ship - no one size fits all ! The previous post photos shows a much larger mini-fridge than what I have experienced on the NCL SUN DAWN and STAR.

FranknBeans Posted August 25, 2015 #16 Share Posted August 25, 2015 You may have trouble stnding them up in the fridge if I remember correctly the shelves are not adjustable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted August 25, 2015 #17 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) This is from the Jewel (similar to its sister ships & even for the Dawn) - don't recall checking it for temperature adjustment. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/64025118/NCL%20Cruising%20-%20General/SDC8086.JPG The shelf is user-removable, 1 liter & 1.5 liter sized soda will stand vertically but 2 liter ones needed to be tilted, taking up lots of room. That's our 20 oz. Rubbermaid BPA-free water bottle, juice from the buffet "chilling". We also store the small (white in color - bottom of picture) ice bucket filled with ice inside the cooler box overnight - the shelf has to be removed to fit. These mini-frig are "bigger" than those on the *Away class in comparison (with temp control) Was told that they will cool down to about 40 to 45 deg. F at best, borderline safe temperature for keeping milk or meat/cooked food for any "extended" period of time. (couldn't even fit the plate with 4 chocolate-covered strawberries) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/64025118/2015%20NCL%20BA/IMG20150322_2054%20%281024x768%29.jpg Edited August 25, 2015 by mking8288 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
