Mini bar set-up question

We always trade the little liquor bottles for all Vodka and the sodas for diet coke. Can we swap the beer for liquor too? DH used to drink an occasional beer but he's kind of off that now. I lost my taste for beer years ago.

 

Beer can only be swapped for soda or water and not liquor!

Actually you can swap out your beer for the 50ml liquor on a 1 for 1 base. I have been doing it with no problem.

 

I'm not elite so have no actual experience but the above makes sense to me as it's essentially the same amount of alcohol. Have you done this on multiple ships?

Yes, you can switch beer for liquor. We just did it on the Regal. Changed the beer for gin.

I have done this on many Princess ships.

 

They will swap alcohol for alcohol. (doesn't matter what kind as they treat beer and liquor equally)

 

And non alcohol for non alcohol.

In my experience as an Elite in a full suite on several cruises I have always had to call room service if I was to get the second mini-bar setup.

 

In my experience it's been 50-50. Sometime we get the two set-ups the first day and sometimes we have to asked. Of course it's easy if it's if we get it the first day because we only have to do the swap out once.

That has been our experience as well.
