Rare cr8tiv1 Posted October 10, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Yes, call room service. 10 alcohol (gin/scotch/beer/cognac/vodka) 10 drinks (water/soda) There are multiple threads that discuss all of the different options. I'm just answering your question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcohol can be exchanged for soft drinks but soft drinks cannot be exchanged for alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kay S Posted October 10, 2022 #5 Share Posted October 10, 2022 It used to be you could swap alcohol for alcohol and non for non. (There was a coffee card deal, too, but I forget the details.) We would keep the little bottles and swap the beers for more little bottles. (They are good have at home in your private bar.) The rest got swapped for water. I don't know what the current rules are.

One will be placed on each of the first 2 occupants' onboard accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DH isn't much of a specialty coffee drinker, meaning I get close to 30 specialty coffees. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicopaige Posted October 11, 2022 #8 Share Posted October 11, 2022 This week on the Royal room service told me they no longer handled it and to let me room steward know and he would make the change. One more thing for them to do! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted October 11, 2022 #9 Share Posted October 11, 2022 In August, I called room service to let them know what I wanted delivered. They did not have the minibar already in my cabin the first day due to the number of Elites on that cruise (more than 800). The next day, a room service steward tried to bring me the regular assortment and not what I wanted. She made a note of my request and came back around an hour later with what I wanted. Then a second room service steward tried to bring more beers. I told him the other room service steward had already delivered them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mina Posted October 11, 2022 #12 Share Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) We will swap out for a bottle of wine, as long as they let us choose the type and pay any difference in cost. Sometimes they do, sometimes they do not. Hate the cheap Chardonnay they have. Edited October 11, 2022 by mina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted October 11, 2022 #15 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Last week on the Grand, I exchanged everything out with Room Service. I know they are swamped so always let them know that I don't need the items on embarkation day. Perrier is the small bottles. San Pellegrino is even smaller. I could not get all San Pellegrino so they mixed my replacement with both. In the MDR with a beverage package, I did get the larger bottle of Perrier. 15 hours ago, chicopaige said: This week on the Royal room service told me they no longer handled it and to let me room steward know and he would make the change.
