smj777 Posted September 21, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 21, 2016 A friend who has recently returned from a cruise on Aurora says that she was told that all cabins on all P&O ships are to be fitted with Minibars on a rolling programme. She didn't know if this was true, or if the standard refrigerators are to be replaced. Anyone know anything about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The items are put in the fridge at the start of the cruise. If you do not want them your steward will remove them.

terrierjohn Posted September 21, 2016 #3 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I suspect the stewards are going to be very busy, they will probably end up just stacking the bigger items under the dressing table cut out, just like they now do on Celebrity.

Scriv Posted September 21, 2016 #5 Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) Has been introduced on Azura since June - The usual fridge is stocked with chargeable items and added to your account when you use any and are replaced.

Mrs Wally Posted September 26, 2016 #6 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Having probably just come off the same cruise, yes it is. Its not free though. What are the prices and can you pick and choose what you want to have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Boy Posted September 26, 2016 #7 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Also the two small bottles of water that has been free on embarkation are now part of the mini bar and are charged to your account if used ( £1.50) Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielundecided Posted September 26, 2016 #8 Share Posted September 26, 2016 What are the prices and can you pick and choose what you want to have? Yes, you'd have drink cans one would assume which you take and get charged for whichever ones you drink.

Scriv Posted September 26, 2016 #9 Share Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) The first two small bottles were free on Azura in June and also last weekend, Sunshine Boy :) Edited September 26, 2016 by Scriv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Boy Posted September 26, 2016 #10 Share Posted September 26, 2016 That is interesting as I was charged on Azura also in June !!! It showed on the account overview on the to as a bar charge and I had to check with reception what it was and I was informed it was for the water Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scriv Posted September 26, 2016 #11 Share Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) Really?? Oh dear..... Well, we used both our water on both trips and it didn't appear on the account. Mind you, the two free ones were on the top of the cupboard near the kettle when we embarked and there were two more in the fridge - I think there was a sparklling water and a still and I think, though am not totally sure, that they were a different brand? We were on the Iceland cruise on 19 June - were you on the same? Edited September 26, 2016 by Scriv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Boy Posted September 26, 2016 #12 Share Posted September 26, 2016 That s the difference we did not have the two on top of the cupboard and only one of each in the fridge It was the same on our second trip in August on Azura but back to "normal" last week on Btitannia and no mini bar as yet Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scriv Posted September 26, 2016 #13 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Obviously confusion reigns... perhaps it depends on the cabin steward and/or the old stock of water to use up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Boy Posted September 26, 2016 #14 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Quite so and somewhat typical of P and O that the information provided is not the same for everyone I think we may have been on the same cruise to Iceland in June Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scriv Posted September 26, 2016 #15 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Interesting too that we had the same cabin steward on the Iceland cruise and on the 3 nighter last weekend. Great visit to Iceland, wasn't it ;) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Boy Posted September 26, 2016 #16 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Iceland was great although the weather could have been a little better Loved the Orkneys We had different stewards on our two Azura cruises !

Scriv Posted September 26, 2016 #17 Share Posted September 26, 2016 We were in the same cabin corridor in June and also last weekend, so maybe our steward has a secret stock of free water lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
