Elite Mini bar set up?

[phabric]

First time being Elite in 2 weeks.

 

For the Elite Mini Bar set up, are all the items placed on a table?

 

Is the soda placed in the refrig?

 

If, the soda is placed in the refrig, how can you tell which is the free soda or the paid soda?

Soda and beer are placed in the frig.

 

IF you order pre-paid soda, the that would be in the frig also.

 

Have a great Cruise.

The 50ml bottles are placed on top of the fridge. Soda, beer, Perrier, and water are in the fridge. There are no 'for purchase' items. Everything that is there is part of the mini bar set up. You can make exchanges by calling room service.

You also can change your mini-bar for 2 coffee cards.

We've had it in the fridge. On the desk. And one time still on the tray and wrapped with shrink wrap.

It seems to depend on the person who drops it off.:confused:

And occasionally we have had to wait for the minibar to be delivered.

As someone stated, everything you see there is yours.*

 

Typically this will be two miniatures of each:

 

Skyy Vodka, Dewar's White Label Scotch, Beefeater Gin and Cognac V.S.

 

...all on the tray with a card for re-ordering anything you like at a cost to you.

 

Inside the refrigerator will be one of each:

 

Bottle of water

Bottle of Perrier

Bottle of Imported Beer (usually Dos XX)

One can each of: Coke, Sprite, Tonic, Club Soda

 

 

*- The part I'm fuzzy on is if there is a large bottle of water in the room. If there is, it has a price card, and it is placed away from the mini bar set up, since it will be charged to you if used.

As others have posted, it can vary from being in the fridge, on the shelf above the fridge, delayed arrival & even sometimes the fridge had the standard paid options because the steward hadn't yet removed them.

 

Prior to the recent website changes the FAQs described the contents & exchange options which unfortunately are no longer available. We usually exchange everything for 10 beers & 10 Diet Cokes and occasionally for 2 coffee cards.

Is the beginning set just a standard set up? So that you have to do exchanges to get different items. Or do you let Princess know what you want in your mini bar beforehand?

Exchanges can only be done by contacting room service on the ship & there's no way to request a customized minibar beforehand.

 

Although if sailing B2B cruises you can contact room service prior to the end of the first cruise to customize your 2nd minibar. We did that once to request 2 coffee cards & they were appreciative to not have to deliver a standard elite minibar & then having to return to make changes.

I didn't realize that they took down the mini bar swap out list in the CC FAQ's but I just tried and it is definitely gone. However, I had copied the list to a Word document a while ago just in case I needed to refer to it while cruising and here it is:

It will be a standard setup onboard.

Contact RS for any alterations.

The removal of the previous Captain's Circle FAQs was a very poor decision. :eek:

 

They've replaced great FAQ information with just a few questions & requiring us to send them a request for many other answers. That'll waste resources by individually answering FAQs or like me to never receive an answer.

 

I've used their Site Feedback option but nothing changes...maybe you could send them the information you saved so they can provide it as a FAQ.

 

I'll bookmark the information for future reference...thanks! :)

I posted the before and after info on the Private Princess forum and asked that they restore the details. That channel seems to get a better response from Princess. Hopefully that will be the case this time too!

There is always the large bottle of water (for a fee) in our cabin, on top of the fridge together with the miniature liquor bottles.

[DrivesLikeMario]

I don't think I've ever had the drinks put in the fridge! Weird. It's always all together, out on the little table or above the fridge.
