GT38 Posted March 17, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I'm cruising on the Sun in July and have a Penthouse Veranda room. Is the mini-bar stocked with alcoholic beverages? If it's ,do they restocked it daily? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mich3554 Posted March 17, 2022 #2 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Yes, there is hard liquor (rum, vodka, gin and scotch) along with a bottle of bubbly. They will restock it, but not sure about the bubbly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Peregrina651 Posted March 17, 2022 #3 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Restocking is supposed to be done daily and it is complimentary for all cabins except the V cabins (who can purchase refills). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FetaCheese Posted March 17, 2022 #4 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Was in DV4, on Venus, Dec. 2021. Fridge was restocked daily, just sodas, candy and nuts, no alcohol was provided. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TayanaLorna Posted March 17, 2022 #5 Share Posted March 17, 2022 The PV usually are initially stocked with 4 little bottles of alcohol, 2 cans of beer and a bottle of champagne along with sodas/mixers. The champagne is one bottle per cruise, the 4 bottles of alcohol and sodas are replenished daily. If you want specific kinds of soda or you only drink gin, you can tell your room steward and he/she will make it so. We don't drink alcohol, only beer and wine so we asked that the alcohol be replaced with a bottle of wine and a couple extra beers. We got it. We also saw a Porter beer on the bar menu and asked for that too. Now this was for the PV only, the DV and V's do not come with any alcohol. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer and wine are alcoholic, same as gin etc. But we like the way you think! 😏 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wungee Posted December 6, 2023 #7 Share Posted December 6, 2023 My wife and I will be in a Penthouse Veranda next year. We're not big drinkers, but just wondering, if I wanted to take a few mini-bottles home, would that be allowed? I'm literally talking about 3 or 4 of the mini's.

Hockeyump Posted December 6, 2023 #8 Share Posted December 6, 2023 You've paid for it so whether you drink it or take it home is your choice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanabeth Posted December 6, 2023 #9 Share Posted December 6, 2023 We were in a PV. We asked our room steward to just bring scotch each day. I requested a bottle of wine. When it was almost empty they brought another one. We took the champagne with us to the Chef's Table to drink with our Thanksgiving feast. We also requested fresh ice at 4:00 each day. And yes, we usually bring a couple of mini bottles home with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LindaS272 Posted December 6, 2023 #10 Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) LOL. 🙀. Not big drinkers so we usually bring a big stash home with us (from six VO cruises). DH is just finishing up the gin from one of our last cruises.And we always leave room in our luggage for the bottle of champagne.

janetcbl Posted December 6, 2023 #11 Share Posted December 6, 2023 We always ask to switch out the mini bottles for a bottle of white (Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio) and a bottle of red (Cabernet). When they are almost empty new bottles “magically” appear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but we've never had the success in substituting items as others mention. For us substitutions seem to normally get sorted about halfway through the cruise.

Never had a problem That's exactly what we do, and they've never got it right the first time. We ask for 2 whisky, 2 rum and ginger ale so nothing overly complex. It took about 6 days before they got the mini-bar sorted out on our recent cruise. But this recent cruise had several issues that we've never experienced on Viking before so I shouldn't complain about stocking of the mini-bar.

Wungee Posted December 7, 2023 #17 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Thank you all for your input. I appreciate the comments. And Nanabeth, thanks for the idea of sharing the bottle of champagne. We are scheduled for the Chef's table on the first night of the cruise. I think I'll just bring the bottle, since I'm not a big champagne guy.(unless, and this is true, I add some diet coke to it). I know -- sacrilege, right? I actually got the idea of mixing in some Diet Coke from Tom Hanks (he mentioned it once on Colbert). Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LindaS272 Posted December 9, 2023 #24 Share Posted December 9, 2023 It’s usually a French brand (LOL—champagne) but brands can vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better fizz is available for less, champagne is just French sparkling chardonnay, Chile makes similar but better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
