Thrak Posted January 4, 2019 #26 Share Posted January 4, 2019 We won't qualify for the mini-bar until next November when we have a 14 day TA from Barcelona to FLL. My wife won't drink the Gin and, while I do love a good Scotch the stuff they offer in the mini-bar is <shudder> Dewar's. I may well opt to swap the Gin and Scotch for Courvoisier VS. My wife also doesn't care for Dos Equis so, if they will allow swapping beer for liquor we may get even more cognac. (Of course I could just leave things as they are delivered and have it all for ME! Bwahahahahahahahaha...) November is a long way off. Who knows what life may hold for us before then. The mini-bar isn't really all that exciting but seems to be one of the better Elite perks.

I know on NCL, all you have to do is ask your steward. If you don't want it then don't use it or give it away. There is no charge for it as it is an Elite perk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rum isn’t one of the ones we have ever gotten in our mini bar set up. You can swap the soda for whatever kindness of soda you wish, including to diet soda or cans of tonic or club soda. I have never swapped out the beer so can’t help you on that one! Thanks for your advice. We will be doing our first cruise as Elite to Hawaii in November and appreciate the mini bar advice.

Rebels82 Posted January 4, 2019 #30 Share Posted January 4, 2019 We will be in a full Suite. From an earlier post, it sounds like other bottles can’t be swapped for rum. Is 1 bottle of rum in the original setup? Sounds like rum lovers are out of luck. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please note that, if you are Elite, you will get two mini-bar setups. One for being Elite and one for being in a Full Suite. The Mini Bar setup consists of two of each of the following: Courvoisier VS Beefeater Gin Skyy Vodka Dewar's Scotch Whisky Dos Equis Beer Coke Sprite Tonic Water Perrier Bottled Water Any alcohol can be traded for any other alcohol or non-alcoholic beverage... This is taken from the Princess FAQ: Question: Can I exchange the items in my Elite mini-bar for wine? Answer: You may exchange all of your mini-bar items for one bottle of wine. You can choose one of the following: Chardonnay Kendall-Jackson Sauvignon Blanc Nobilo Cabernet Sauvignon Kendall-Jackson Pinot Noir Robert Mondavi. Unwooded Chardonnay, Kendall Jackson (Dawn Princess, Sea Princess, Sun Princess - when based in Australia) Wyndhams, Bin 444 Cabernet Sauvignon (Dawn Princess, Sea Princess, Sun Princess - when based in Australia) Brown Brothers, Shiraz (Dawn Princess, Sea Princess, Sun Princess - when based in Australia) Edited January 4, 2019 by Thrak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwendy Posted January 4, 2019 #32 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Two Elites in cabin should equal two mini bars. Nope, but you do get two lots of Internet and free laundry, (never had a problem with getting it back within 36 hours). Only one upgraded toiletries package was given, when we asked for a second, mother and daughter travelling, both Elite we were told only one per cabin. Eventually we got the second one, but it required a bit of hard work. Bit petty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Chatterer Posted March 1, 2019 #44 Share Posted March 1, 2019 When trading in the minibar is Princess offering two coffee card credits or one coffee card credit? Second question: When trading in the minibar for all water how many bottles of water do you receive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbypiggy Posted July 18, 2022 #45 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Instead of trading the entire mini-bar, can you just request to trade 6 of the 20 items for 6 extra bottles of Pierre Water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, if it is available. In the past we have only been able to trade for like items included in the base minibar setup. On our cruise earlier this month, we received a different minibar setup than what we have seen before. We got club soda instead of Perrier. We substituted the club soda for something else, but never asked if Perrier was available. We also got Rum for the first time (instead of cognac).
