coolptnr Posted May 15, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 15, 2017 When we were on the May 6th cruise, we weresurprised to discover that the mini-bar refrigerators were not working. Thecooling element within the fridge was not operational and mini bar contentswere removed. We didn’t care about the contents of the mini-bar…we pay as we go for water and other drinks. We were, however looking forward to the use of thefridge to keep a few items cool. When we asked for a different mini-fridge, we were told thatthey were all that way, not just in our particular stateroom. The stateroomattendant and other senior staff explained to us that current practice is to keepthings cool by placing a bucket of ice within the mini-fridge. This renders themini-fridge to a mere storage container since the cooling element within thefridge no longer works. So if you were thinking of using the mini-fridge for coolingof water, wine, or even meds, think again. When you pay dearly for a cruise…it’snot too much to expect to have a workingmini-fridge.

swoopy2110 Posted May 15, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 15, 2017 It never has been a full fridge. It's always been just been to 'cool' things. If you need to cool medication they can provide you with a proper device Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted May 15, 2017 #3 Share Posted May 15, 2017 It sometimes helps to leave the cabinet door ajar...and yes the bucket of ice placed in it usually works good enough to keep a couple of drinks cool. We love the aspect of having the mini bar contents removed and only having them replaced if you do so by request. This saves from having someone from the staff come in every day to check the contents and charge you accordingly. Unfortunately as stated many times...it's always been just a cooler never a fridge....wouldn't that be nice if they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
