Elite Swapping of Mini Bar Setup

[rbslos18]

Can a mini bar setup still be swapped out for two coffee cards? Is this done with the cabin steward? Our cruise is 14 days.

As usual thanks,

RB

Yes, you can still swap out the full mini bar for 2 coffee cards. Advise your steward that you wish to make the swap.

Whenever we do a swap of our Mini bar, whether it be to change liquor or for

coffee cards, we always call room service. Your room steward will tell you to

do this as well. Any changes have to go through room service.

 

Usually if you call as soon as you board, they'll be up with the switch in a few hours. You don't have to be in the cabin.

Ahhh... I wondered if it was room service but also knew that advising your steward would get the proper info. If it's not his/her job then you would be advised to contact room service. I'm not in favor of trying to foist off extra work on the stewards but they are a good source of guidance. :) Thanks for the correct info for the OP.

Room service. Stewart has nothing to do with it. ;)

Who is this guy Stewart

I wonder the same thing :)

 

For me coffee card swap has always been with room service, just call them and make the request.

Call ASAP. or you maybe on hold for a few hours.

Our steward changed our mini bar for soft drinks in June. He suggested it. Previously have called room service.

We always call room service to do the swap. Room service comes to do it

That's great.......

Technically Stewart has no access to the alcohol products. Yes some supervisors have them assist but there is strict control of the liquor items. As always each ship handles things differently. ;)

And the liquor probably ended up in his cabin.

Nice swap.

Yes

Yes

Our room steward told us to phone Room Service the first time we were entitled to the mini bar setup. For quite a few cruises we swapped everything for two coffee cards but now we rather like G & T's on warm weather cruises, so we get everything taken out except for the little Gin Bottles and the Tonic water. We are so lucky to get such a great perk for being Elite. Princess certainly look after us so much better than other cruise lines.

Nice swap.

 

I doubt the steward would risk losing his/her job for the booze.

Probably not.

I swap the liquor for ALL SKYY vodka -- Vodka/tonic my drink!!!

MY ONLY ISSUE: We get same mini-bar for a 5 nt, 7 nt, 10 nt or 14 nt cruise. NOT FAIR Going on a 15 nighter to Hawaii & WISHING for 2 minibar setups!!!!

It's free.

I believe that any issue you want resolved once aboard might be handled through your steward. That is why they are there, that is why we compensate them. You will probably get as good a result from room service, as it is their job, but why not engage your steward (stewart), the moment you get onboard, believe me, if they know you are counting on them they come in with homeruns. I think Thraks original answer stands. And I sincerely doubt any little bottles of booze end up in their living quarters, unless we generously deed them.

So true. One time, our steward had to do the follow up when it was still there after our dinner.

[Lucky TGO]

I always have the Steward do it for me.

Earlier in the year I did a 46 night cruise around the Indian Ocean on the Sun Princess.

 

46 Nights, no segments, 1 long cruise, 1 mini-bar set-up. This must be some record?

THANK YOU for confirming I need to call Room Service to do a Mini Bar swap, AND that I don't need to remain in the Window Suite-that was a point I was unsure about.

 

Once again, Cruise Critic to the rescue!

 

58 days to sailing for me!

[Cruisin Kay D]

I really think Princess needs to consider giving an extra mini-bar setup per 7 or 10 days if someone wants it!!! Can't believe those people on the 46 day cruise didn't get at least 4 setups!!!
