i know you can trade your beer for soft drink or water but with the 50mil bottles are you allowed to trade them for something else, just say you have 2 of Vodka can you trade for 2 of Scotch or something similar

Princess is used to people doing this. They will trade all the mini bottles for scotch or gin or whatever they like. It's not a problem at all. You should do this through room service as it's not really your steward's job to deal with the liquor.

You can trade any of the 10 alcoholic drinks for any other alcoholic or non alcoholic drink. Non alcoholic drinks can only be traded for other non alcoholic drinks.

The only cider I've seen is cans of Strongbow and the only place I've seen it is at the Pub Lunch. There may be other cider available but I'm not aware of it. I can't say for sure but I don't think they will trade your beer for cider. If you are lucky I am wrong. (It wouldn't be the first time and definitely won't be the last.)

Thanks thrak. You can get Strongbow at nearly every bar now. My husband can't drink beer so that's his beverage of choice. Will try on our upcoming Ruby cruise and see what happens. If not, there's always happy hour!

Just curious as I am really close to Elite now, what are the mini-alcohol choices? Also, I see you can trade for a coffee card. Can you also trade for bottled water?
If you just want water you can trade the entire 20 items in the minibar for eight 1-1/2 liter bottles.

If you want a coffee card, you can trade the entire mini bar for two coffee cards. You can't trade part of it for one coffee card.
