Question regarding penthouse suite

[wildcats40]

It will be our first time in a suite and we know it includes a mini bar.  What exactly comes in the mini bar?  Wondering if we need to purchase sodas or water bottle packages.  

 

Thanks

The mini bar will have one complete setup.  Inside the frig will be coke, diet coke, sprite, club soda, tonic water, bottled water, and ginger ale, and perrier. .Don't remember if beer was in there too.   On top of the frig will be ice bucket with mini bottles of vodka, gin, scotch, and bourbon.  According to the suite perks I believe you will have two of each type of sodas,  and we got two bottles of water per day for being in a suite.  If you want more water you can purchase it.  The gift shop sells cans of soda. You can swap out the mini bar for all sodas and no booze if you choose.

Will they charge you corkage if you bring the bottle of wine to the dining room.? Seems like wine is a bad trade as kJ  cab is$10-15 here. I would think you would get the most value out of the coffee cards.

No corkage on this bottle as it has been 'purchased' on the ship.

I traded 10 non-alcoholic drinks for 10 diet cokes and the 10 alcoholic drinks for 16 oz. domestic beer.

Call room service and tell them how you want it changed out. Be patient, turn-around day is crazy busy for room service.

On the two bottles of water to day.....

 

Generally the RS drops these in..... But if they don't just ask... no problem....

 

We always switch things around....   and bring any of the little 50ml home  with us, if not finished.

The problem with the "coffee cards" is that they no longer carry over any unused "punches". If you have a short cruise such 10 days or fewer is can be hard to actually use up all of the "punches" that you receive and they disappear at the end of the cruise.
