Rare whitshel Posted October 8, 2004 #1 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Do all balcony catagories have mini fridges?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mconthehighseas Posted October 8, 2004 #2 Share Posted October 8, 2004 They call them a mini-bar, but yes there is a small fridge in all the balcony rooms. None on the balcony itself, to my knowledge. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyS Posted October 8, 2004 #3 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Your cabin attendant will empty the mini-bar if you ask. If you really want something cold, ask for ice. The refrigerators keep things cool - at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achilles Posted October 8, 2004 #5 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Has anyone call Royal Caribbean before your cruise and ask them to empty the fridge before you come on board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddie Posted October 9, 2004 #6 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Has anyone call Royal Caribbean before your cruise and ask them to empty the fridge before you come on board? I haven't, but I really wouldn't find that an advance call to empty the fridge would be needed. On both our RCI cruises, our mini bar was emptied immediately upon request... teddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare whitshel Posted October 10, 2004 Author #7 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Thanks for the replies!! That would be something to actually have a fridge on the balcony:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mconthehighseas Posted October 10, 2004 #8 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Maybe on the UltraVoyager? Until then, bring a cooler. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madforcruising Posted October 10, 2004 #9 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Has anyone call Royal Caribbean before your cruise and ask them to empty the fridge before you come on board? Your cabin attendant will empty the mini-bar if you ask. Why do you all need somebody to empty the mini-bar for you??? Is it that hard to take off a few cans of Soda, a couple of water bottles and some candy by yourself ??? I always walk into my cabin open the fridge empty it. It´s just that easy!!!

mconthehighseas Posted October 10, 2004 #10 Share Posted October 10, 2004 mad4cruising - I don't think emptying it is the issue. It's where to put a minifridge full of stuff -and make sure you don't get charged for it! When we sailed, there was more than a couple of everything - the fridge was pretty full.

DannyS Posted October 10, 2004 #11 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Why do you all need somebody to empty the mini-bar for you??? Because you don't want to be charged for it. If your cabin attendant sees things missing, he or she will charge you for the missing items, and replace them with new ones. If you ask your cabin attendant to empty it, you won't be charged, and it won't be refilled with more stuff for you to "buy." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cakeone Posted October 10, 2004 #13 Share Posted October 10, 2004 We simply took the stuff out of the alleged "fridge" (does not keep items cold at all), and gave it to the cabin steward when he came in to intro himself. We also told him of our request to keep our collapsible cooler full of ice - which he had no problem doing. That collapsible cooler was one of the best items we ever took along - kept anything and everything cold (additional drinks, snacks, etc) - not too mention never running short of ice; the ice "bucket" is very small. We're low carb lifers & it was great to have some of our foods fresh and on hand. Not to mention how handy it was during the extended power outages we went thru when returning to our home here in Florida. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverenufcruising Posted October 10, 2004 #14 Share Posted October 10, 2004 We took the stuff out of the refridgerator ourselves and put it on the top shelf of the cabinets above the refridgerator. I do, however, inform the room steward that I'm doing this so he/she won't think we've consumed the contents. :) Before we disembark I just put the stuff back in the refriderator. Never had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you won't be charged for it. And it takes up space that I need. Even easier for them to move it out of my way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
