Floflegs Posted July 19, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Can you ask for the contents of the mini bar to be removed if you don’t wish to use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elephant1151 Posted July 19, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Yes. We asked our steward to remove the contents and take them away. This gave us room for our own liquor and mixers in the fridge alongside the ice bucket. If he is reluctant put them in the bottom of a wardrobe.

cruiseluvva Posted July 19, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I wouldn’t want to have drinks that had been in the bottom of the wardrobe along with passenger’s shoes! I refused to do that for that very reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell Boy Posted July 19, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Often they get stored under the bed or in the bottom of a wardrobe. The reason is, they have a problem knowing what to do with the stock ,as these items have already been drawn ( paper work) from either the bonded store or the general ships stores. They cannot be sent back to where they were originally drawn from . Reading some of the posts recently ( where guests have been charged for supposed items after they have left the ship) it is my intention in the future ( and I suggest others might like to take this up) to contact the 'Deck Housekeeping Supervisor' and arrange that 'their final closing account' of the mini bar is 'completed in my presence' early morning of disembarkation or the evening before. That might go a long way in rectifying this ongoing problem .......let's see ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChansonDeLaMer Posted July 19, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 19, 2018 We were on a June TA. We simply asked our stewardess if it was possible to have items removed. She said “certainly,” and when we returned to our room after dinner, the fridge was empty. The contents weren’t stored in our room. We asked because I’m not a morning person and dislike eating breakfast in the Kings Court. Each late afternoon I brought items like fresh melon and berries from the KC to our fridge in order to supplement room service breakfasts. There is a fruit cup on the room service menu, but choosing my own fruit was preferable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better than under the bed or the bottom of the wardrobe. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not have the fruit delivered with your breakfast, i’m sure it would be fresher that the fruit you selected the day before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToadOfToadHall Posted July 20, 2018 #10 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Can you ask for the contents of the mini bar to be removed if you don’t wish to use it? Or you could not open the mini bar door ? What am I missing here ? Why not just leave it alone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underwatr Posted July 20, 2018 #11 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I like to put our own drinks (soda, champagne) as well as the ice bucket in it. This is all easier if the ship's product has been removed. If you remove it yourself you run a minor risk of being charged for the "missing" contents.

ZZRLAD Posted July 20, 2018 #12 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Just leaving Southampton on the Q.V. now. I asked our steward to remove d erythibg from the fridge. Which he did straight away.

Jeffrey1950 Posted September 5, 2018 #19 Share Posted September 5, 2018 can u take your own soda onboard Yes, and unlike other Lines Cunard allows you to bring on Alcohol. Cunard treats it's passenger's like Adults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryf Posted September 5, 2018 #20 Share Posted September 5, 2018 My wife is diabetic and the fridge is needed to store her insulin. We always make this clear before we sail but of course the fridge is full with the minibar when we arrive so it is always the first thing we ask.

Shuffleboard Dude Posted September 5, 2018 #21 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I wouldn’t want to have drinks that had been in the bottom of the wardrobe along with passenger’s shoes! I refused to do that for that very reason. Why? The liquid is in a sealed, pressurized bottle. If you worry about this, you will need to worry your drink every single time you have a pint from tap somewhere. Also: If those drinks went through a harbour for loading, then other passengers' shoes are the least you will need to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
