homedepot124 Posted February 26, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Does anyone know if Princess provides more than one free mini-bar set-up on longer cruises. Just wondering since we are booked on a 29 days Princess cruise later this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loge23 Posted February 26, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 26, 2020 As far I know, no. We're on a 28 day now and it hasn't been replenished. Interestingly, it is replenished for back-to-backs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katisdale Posted February 26, 2020 #5 Share Posted February 26, 2020 If there are segments, then yes they do. We did a 50 day that had two segments and got two mini-bars. On the 49 day around South America a year ago it had three segments and we got three mini-bars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beave8920 Posted February 26, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Just curious, what comes in the mini bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susancruzs Posted February 26, 2020 #7 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I book Grand Adventures usually, which can be booked separately. I've always gotten 2 set ups although I let them know before they bring the 2nd one I am going to exchange it for something else. In the past, coffee cards, this time probably all water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember the exact numbers, but it something like 6-8 liquors, 6 beers, 6 sodas and some water. There are others here who have a more accurate list. You can call room service and have anything you want changed out within the category or lower. ie liquor for soda, but not soda for liquor. I think there is also a wine swap out option.

Astro Flyer Posted February 26, 2020 #11 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) On the Sky in November booked as a 28 day cruise which could also be booked as 7/7/14 days. We automatically were issued 3 cruise credits & received 3 minibars which like katisdale & susancruzs has been our experiences when booking a longer cruise that can be booked as shorter cruises.

If your 28 days can only be booked that way then it’s only 1 minibar; if possible to be booked as shorter cruises you should receive a minibar for each included shorter cruise.

flamomo Posted February 26, 2020 #16 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Depends on how it's booked, one long cruise or two or more shorter cruises offered as one cruise. If it truly is one long cruise there'll be one set-up. If it's two or more lumped together and sold as a single itinerary, there will be another set-up provided on the turn-around day(s) in mid-cruise. On my most recent cruise where there was a "refill" provided on turn-around day, I received a call in the cabin from room service a couple of days ahead of that day, asking what I would like in the new set-up. I requested the whole thing be replaced with a bottle of wine. They even asked what wine I wanted, I gave them the brand and variety, and the next day exactly what I wanted was delivered. Found it, when we returned from lunch, sitting on the desk …. already on ice!!! Way To Go, Princess! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Regal recently, they finally smartened up & called people doing a B2B trip the day before the first disembarkation to ask what you preferred in the setup. No more having to call & change out their standard selections. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

echoshipmate Posted February 26, 2020 #20 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Same experience on the 49 day Royal around south America. Booked as 3 segments, got 3 mini bar setups and best of all 3 stock holder obc credits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted February 27, 2020 #21 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Our last cruise was our first as Elite. I had to hassle them for the mini bar. When they delivered it they said they were out of cognac and vodka so they delivered scotch and gin plus a bunch of beer. GAH!!! Overall our first cruise as Elite had the worst cabin, the worst Steward (BY FAR!!!), the worst Internet service and the worst CD staff (again, BY FAR!!!) we have ever encountered. Oh, yeah, we did try out the laundry service but the steward took my wife's pants and returned a pair of 24" x 29" "Skinny" jeans. Nope, nope, nope. Not her size. Not even close. It took 3 days to get that straightened out. Welcome to your "super snazzy" Elite status. <sigh...> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted February 27, 2020 #22 Share Posted February 27, 2020 How much did you have to hassle them? It's always been ready in our cabin. Some of the time, they had to sub different liquors or soft drinks. They were out of cognac last summer in Alaska and automatically subbed in the vodka. But making changes has never been a hassle to me. Just a quick call to room service. And we make changes every cruise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare trinitygirl Posted February 27, 2020 #24 Share Posted February 27, 2020 plus there I had I think 8 bottles of sparkling water (I switched out all the beer and soda). A nice wee perk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted February 27, 2020 #25 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Sadly, Dewar's white label is not good scotch. (Malt if you are from Scotland.). Dewar's 12 is fine with me but the White Label... not so much. It's drinkable but one may want to mix it with something which, to my mind, defeats the purpose of scotch whisky.
