They didn't have diet tonic anywhere on board, not sure if that's normal for VO or not. So, if you really 'like' gin and don't want to make trips to the bar bring a bottle. They stock what you ask them to stock. Edited October 16, 2023 by rmalbers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul73 Posted October 17, 2023 #4 Share Posted October 17, 2023 On the first day they stock the fridge with one bottle each of scotch, bourbon, gin and vodka. We asked our cabin steward to change to 2 scotch and 2 gin and that's what happened for the rest of the cruise. There are also a few beers, sodas, mini-bags of peanuts and a chocolate bar, which can similarly be modified to meet your desires. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LindaS272 Posted October 17, 2023 #5 Share Posted October 17, 2023 It’s not peanuts—it’s almonds/cranberries/raisins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TayanaLorna Posted October 17, 2023 #6 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Like others are saying, you can switch out the 4 little alcohol bottles to your choice. Just ask your room steward when you check in. You can also ask for an ice bucket to be delivered at a specific time each day. On our cruises, the little gin bottle was Tanguery. If you like a different gin, bring your own bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always stay in a DV cabin. NO you will not get the little bottles of alcohol. You will get a variety of sodas and can ask for specific kind to be stocked daily. We also had the beverage package, which means you do not pay for any drinks, anytime on the ship.You have paid for it already being on the beverage package. We did bring our own wine on board when in Spain and drank it on our veranda on occasion. You can bring any type of booze on board if you like for your cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda - our experience is it varies. This last cruise they first gave us almonds/cranberries/raisins. Since we like peanuts, we asked the steward to just give us peanuts every day and from then on, we just got peanuts! Here's a picture I took of the refrigerator as it was when we first came into our PV last month. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I tell them to take them away! 🤦♀️ Edited October 18, 2023 by LindaS272 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen bourbon in a Viking mini-bar. And a "few" beers = two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duh - if you don’t eat or otherwise remove them, then they won’t be added to. I don’t think anyone here thinks you would accumulate 28 bags of nuts on a 2 week cruise if you don’t take any out.

How are you doing on this beautiful MN day? I always had the Silver Beverage package and never paid for a drink anytime , anywhere. But then I only visited Thorshaven club a couple of nights and did not have the fancy Aquavit shots ,just a Drambuie straight up.😀I DID STAY UNDER THE $18.00 PER DRINK on any menu. How about you when you had the package ? Meanwhile I am looking at Explora Journeys web site ... think of a Caribbean cruise in 2025 ... Our nice Autumn will end the coming weekend.

If it is true that there are drinks you will have to pay for (above a given threshold in price) then it is not true that "you do not pay for any drinks, anytime on the ship" - as I said. I think think correct information is preferable to the other kind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
