stvntra Posted August 20 #1 Share Posted August 20 Can you have your room attendant fill your refrigerator with drinks once on board, including water bottles? I wasn't sure how that worked. Otherwise, I assume you ask them to remove everything from your fridge so you can place your own drinks in there instead? 🍷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTShaker Posted August 20 #2 Share Posted August 20 Anything you want in your fridge will have to be picked up by you. The mini bar service is not included with the premium package. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISABELLA Posted August 20 #3 Share Posted August 20 Anything that you consume from minifridge, you will be charged for regardless if you have a package or not. We usually ask room attendant to remove all out of the fridge, so we can store whatever we want.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaveitallbehind Posted August 20 #4 Share Posted August 20 (edited) You can ask the attendant to empty the fridge and you can place your own water, soda, etc., as you get it on board. But as mentioned previously you are responsible for paying for anything consumed from the fridge. They will not stock anything for you as since they are not part of the bartending staff they cannot get it for you.

Thank you! 🙂 You never said HOW you came by the Premium Drink package. If it is because you purchased it separately, all of the above is correct. If it came with your cabin class - Sky Suite and above - the rules are different, and become more different yet from Royal Suite and above.

That is what we normally do on other ships, but again, I wasn't sure if it worked the same way on this ship as well since we have the premium package and we never purchase that.

cruisegus Posted August 21 #12 Share Posted August 21 Most other cruise lines I have sailed NO Longer stock the cooler/fridge. Am I to understand that Celebrity still does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickey89 Posted August 21 #14 Share Posted August 21 (edited) Be careful, Celebrity are all too often charging people for falsely taking drinks from the fridge. Especially after you have left the ship, you get a text invoice. We refused to give them a credit card on our onboard account but still received a bill on a previously registered credit card over 18 month previous. They say they don't store card details which is an obvious lie, so I say again be careful. DON'T TRUST Celebrity...!

catspaw1 Posted August 21 #15 Share Posted August 21 I tell the steward to lock our refrigerator. Than I bring a small collapsible cooler & have them put ice in it everyday & put my drinks in it from the premium package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minniemouse427 Posted August 21 #16 Share Posted August 21 (edited) Super easy to request the room steward to empty out the "fridge" of all beverages upon first meeting them. Our family had two rooms our last cruise and we requested him to empty both fridges and to split the beds in the room our kids were in. Both were done within a few hours. Emptying the "fridge" on day 1 avoids any issues w/ surprise charges, allows us to store any waters or other drinks we collected as part of our drink packages, and we would only have to ask for ice if we wanted to put it into our beverages in the room. 🙂 Edited August 21 by minniemouse427 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May pay to upgrade to the suite and cancel the premium package instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of times drink package is bundled in suite price , most of the time. If you do a move up and didn’t have a drink package you will not have it , but suites always have free drinks including doubles in indoor retreat.

I will weigh the pros and cons (i.e. $$$) and see which comes out cheaper overall. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple enough to document the empty fridge with a time stamped photo if you feel it necessary (we didn't need it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisetonowhere10 Posted August 21 #25 Share Posted August 21 We check the contents against the list of what is available pre and post but I guess someone could still get it wrong. Not worth bringing a cooler or bothering with locking it for us, but then again we’ve never been charged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
