Since you are sailing as Elite in a suite, you should receive two mini bar setups. When we were on the CB two weeks ago, everything except the Perrier was there when we got to our cabin. The Perrier was delivered a couple of days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you get your Princess Elite badge on your signature?Don't know what Pam did, but you can download CC badges and avatars from the Download area on the Princess website. I copied my avatar from someone else's post a couple of years ago. Sent from my iPhone using Cruise Critic Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colo Cruiser, thanks for the information . . In fact, your elite badge was the first one I noticed on a different thread, so it was quite a coincidence that you are the one that told me about how to find it!

long cruiser Posted October 18, 2014 #11 Share Posted October 18, 2014 You also can trade-in your mini bar set up for two coffee cards worth about $70,00. long cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevesan Posted October 18, 2014 #12 Share Posted October 18, 2014 You also can trade-in your mini bar set up for two coffee cards worth about $70,00.long cruiser I do that because I'm a coffee hound. However, know that in addition to the "mini bar" alcohol drinks they take everything. Including the cans of soda and tonic water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruis247g Posted October 18, 2014 #13 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Since you are sailing as Elite in a suite, you should receive two mini bar setups. When we were on the CB two weeks ago, everything except the Perrier was there when we got to our cabin. The Perrier was delivered a couple of days later. On my last two sailings (in September), only one set-up was delivered. One time he said that he was waiting to deliver the second one because of lack of space and the other time they forgot that I was elite and should have two set-ups. So...if you only have one mini-bar setup in your suite, feel free to ask about the second one. I love this benefit, especially with the flexibility to switch one setup for coffee cards.

dorisis Posted October 19, 2014 #14 Share Posted October 19, 2014 On our last cruise which was a B2B as Elites in a suite, we tradded 1 set up for coffee cards and one for wine, the wine list in the above post is not accurate. I think it depends on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whimsy Posted October 20, 2014 #16 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Can you elaborate just a tad more? Is the exchange on the liquor one to one for a can of beer? I drink hard liquor but my drinks are more along the lines of margarita's, etc. DH likes beer. We will be sailing in a suite (first time-very excited!) and I would like to know if I can exchange the little bottles for beer. I'm understanding the soda part, trade a can of Sprite for a can of Diet Coke but is one mini bottle per bottle of beer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
