AE_Collector Posted March 21, 2017 #51 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Yes. Any alcohol item can swap for any other alcohol (or any non alcohol) item. Thus you can swap for up to 10 cognacs. AE_Collector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyVeteran Posted March 22, 2017 #55 Share Posted March 22, 2017 If you are Elite and in a Suite, do you get a double mini bar set up? Sent from my iPhone using Forums I have always received two mini-bars when sailing as an Elite in a Suite. Sometimes only one is there at embarkation and I have to ask for the other one from room service. That is not a problem, since I'm always changing out things anyway.

TULIP9 Posted March 23, 2017 #56 Share Posted March 23, 2017 What size are the coke and tonic tins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crochetcruise Posted March 23, 2017 #57 Share Posted March 23, 2017 What size are the coke and tonic tins? I think 12oz per can. I had the 330ml cans when I sailed on the Golden Princess last November-they're 45ml-1.5 oz-less than a regular can bought in the shops. HTH.

Lucky TGO Posted March 23, 2017 #59 Share Posted March 23, 2017 What size are the coke and tonic tins? On the Royal Princess in January they were 12 oz. cans of Sprite & Coke. I don't remember if it was soda water or tonic water also. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckb104 Posted March 23, 2017 #60 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I wish they had the little bottles of rum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AE_Collector Posted March 24, 2017 #61 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I wish they had the little bottles of rum. SECONDED! I can never figure why Rum isn't an option. Nothing says "Caribbean" like Rum and let's see, I think Princess has a bit of a presence in the Caribbean. Then when talking about "being at sea" let's ask the Navy which type of alcohol comes to mind. I can only assume that in world wide popularity Rum is way down the list but don't really know if that is true. I only know that Orincess needs some mini bottles of Myers Rum like they sell in the shops onboard. I have asked room service if we could swap our 8 mini alcohol bottles (400 ml total) for one of the 375 ml room service bottles. The person checked with someone who said yes, no problem but presumably that decision could go either way. I didn't go ahead as the only choice was Bacardi white which IMHO is barely RUM!

tennisobo Posted March 25, 2017 #64 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I don't drink alcohol, soda or coffee. When I make it to elite can I swap the minibar for coffee cards and use it for other things? I seem to remember that they are good for gelato and hot chocolate. I checked on my onboard reservations are at princess.com and the description only mentioned coffee and tea.

You can use your coffee cards for gelato. They will punch your coffee card for just the gelato and specialty coffee only. Your brewed coffee & hot chocolate do not require any punches to your coffee card. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh sorry, I wasn't completely clear there. They sell the 1 Liter bottles of Myers in the duty free shop onboard. Since they deal with Myers, I was wishing that they would consider purchasing the little 50ml bottles of Myers Rum to have as a Mini Bar option. Even if not regularly included in the Mini Bar selection to have it as an option to swap for would be wonderful. AE_Collector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigenna Posted March 25, 2017 #67 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I think that using punches for Gelato is only on some ships. I have asked on a couple of different ships and was told no, I had to charge it to my cruise card. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Forums The menu at Gelato on the a Royal and Regal specifically state that one punch can be used to purchase the ice cream at Gelato. The three ships with gelato at the IC, the Crown, Emerald and Regal, only charge $1.50 for three scoops and there are only sporadic posts saying people have been successful using a punch worth $2.38 for the gelato at the IC.

AE_Collector Posted March 25, 2017 #70 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I am very surprised that Rum isn't one of the mini bar items....bordering on SHOCKED! If anyone would be happy with Bacardi white or Cruzan Rum, try asking Room Service for swap of 8 mini bottles to a .375 of Rum. It seems to be up to the boss at room service but since they supply both items they may say okay. They did the one time I asked. If this happened frequently maybe they would re-evaluate the offerings. AE_Collector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IECalCruiser Posted March 26, 2017 #71 Share Posted March 26, 2017 We became Elite in 2012 and I thought I saw mini rum bottles as a choice early in the year but they were gone by the end of the year. Was I dreaming or was rum formerly an option? Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISEWITHH Posted March 26, 2017 #72 Share Posted March 26, 2017 We are elite and will have the AIPB on our cruise in October. If I switch out all my items for a bottle of wine, can I take that bottle to the MDR and give it to a table mate? If it is a bottle from onboard, will there be a corkage fee?

It's their wine. Now if you took your wine to the table you would have to bring it by the glass, to avoid a charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
