puzzums Posted February 19 #1 Share Posted February 19 Does the little fridge in the cabin come pre-stocked with anything? If so, is it an extra charge if you take anything, or is it included if you have the Plus package? If the fridge is pre-stocked but not included in Plus, can you ask your room steward to remove the pre stocked items? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lady Arwen Posted February 19 #2 Share Posted February 19 It is not included with or without any package. Yes, you can ask your room steward to remove the contents so you may use it for your personal needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are in a suite it will be stocked with included beverages, if not then it will be empty, regardless of your package purchase. Once you fall in love with princess and sail enough to be elite status you also get one minibar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember ever seeing anything in the fridge on a Princess ship except for included items like the Elite mini bar items or the items included in suites. Could you be thinking of another cruise line? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare karatemom2 Posted February 19 #6 Share Posted February 19 Unless you are an Elite or Suite passenger, your fridge will be empty except for an ice bucket that your room steward will happily refill with fresh ice daily if you like. We like to preorder the bottled water package to be delivered to our room along with our Elite mini bar set up. If you plan on purchasing one of the packages, it likely doesn't make sense for you to pay extra to preorder any beverages. You can always pick up bottled or canned items you prefer at any bar and bring them back to your room to keep in your fridge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My senior brain was clearly taking a nap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for memory...a very long time ago...they DID stock the refrigerator with a few items (water/soda) with a note that there would be a cost if consumed. I just stuck them behind the television. I'm sure, by now, this doesn't happen anymore since it would be additional work for your steward and more passengers are taking up Plus or Premier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are any items left over from the previous occupants that the cabin steward did not remove just remind the cabin steward to remove them. If you order any mini bar items for your cabin you will be charged. Mini bar items are not included with the plus or premier fares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted February 20 #12 Share Posted February 20 Princess used to put some stuff in the refrigerator and charge if you used it. We always used to take it out and stack it on a shelf. These days they no longer stock anything in the refrigerator unless you are entitled to a mini-bar. In that case our items - other than the liquor - have been placed in the refrigerator. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will also be stocked with the same complimentary set-up as for suites (10 alcoholic beverages and 10 non alcoholic beverages) if you are Elite loyalty level. But note you'd only get one Elite mini-bar set-up per cabin, even if both people are Elite. Edited February 20 by tothemall&beyond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always have them empty it too. I prefer Princess’s empty fridge for sure. No issues with unwarranted charges. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
