4x4bob Posted August 31, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 31, 2019 With Princess making constant changes (read cut backs) what is the current make up of the Elite Mini bar set up? Input from someone who has just sailed and received such set up will be appreciated. Thanks Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare geoherb Posted August 31, 2019 #5 Share Posted August 31, 2019 On the Island this summer, they were out of Courvoisier and doubled up on the whiskey. I traded it in for gin, so it didn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Times Prince Posted August 31, 2019 #9 Share Posted August 31, 2019 From the photos it looks like the only change is a pair of soft drink where there used to be tonic water to go with the gin. Easily fixed with a phone call once on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaDon Posted August 31, 2019 #10 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Swapping what for what? This may be a good place to mention this. Our last trip was our first Elite (yay) and we got our mini-bar on schedule. I knew we could trade the booze for beer and so forth, but was surprised that they wanted a play-by-play on the phone of WHAT I was trading for what. So, on that phone call on busy embarkation day, be ready with specifics. As I recall, I could get Bud Light as a beer choice, so my order might have included trading Dos Equis for Bud light as well as naming each booze bottle pair. Likewise trade the 2 Coke for Diet Cokes etc. The delay in getting the stuff swapped was multiple hours, and, as I recall, they said that I did not need to be present in the room for the swap. -- Thanks for those photos, they will allow me to prepare my swap list well in advance and have it ready to read on my next cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idahospud Posted August 31, 2019 #11 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Unbelievable as it may seem, the mini bar pic I posted from this week's cruise on the Royal is already outdated. Today we start a new cruise on the Royal and I didn't get Diet Cokes this time around. In their place we had tonic water. So be prepared to find something different from cruise to cruise! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted August 31, 2019 #12 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Usually it's tonic water instead of diet cokes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnmik1 Posted August 31, 2019 #13 Share Posted August 31, 2019 We have had somewhere around 40 minibars and never remember receiving anything diet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idahospud Posted August 31, 2019 #14 Share Posted August 31, 2019 The only ship we've ever had Diet Cokes pop up on has been the Royal. Maybe four or five times now? Even last week but not this one. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolane1 Posted September 1, 2019 #18 Share Posted September 1, 2019 My next cruise will be my first as elite. How do I swap out the mini bar for the coffee cards - well not cards any more. Will the information be added to the medallion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckb104 Posted September 1, 2019 #20 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I'm an over-planner and I knew from my Mom what we would get, so on our last cruise, I had a printout of exactly what we wanted to swap. I gave it to the room steward and he took care of it. He appreciated having it written down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knippsel Posted September 1, 2019 #21 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Last time on the Grand, our wonderful steward had his own form for us to fill out with what we wished to swap. That was a first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCCRUSINGCOUPLE Posted September 2, 2019 #23 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I always call room service as soon as I get on. I find usually it is done within a hour or two. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseVA Posted September 2, 2019 #24 Share Posted September 2, 2019 On my last cruise they did the swap as asked when we were out of the room, but, they neglected to take the booze that was in my cabin. I rectified it the next day by swapping it all again for Gin. Ended up with 16 bottles of Gin 🙂 (save your snarky comments, i someone would have got in trouble if I reported it. I figure I saved a job.) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much for your photos! We've been successful at trading in the cans of sodas for any can of soda available through room service. DH likes ginger ale, so that's what we usually get for the Cokes. Edited September 2, 2019 by geoherb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
