Gayletwomey Posted April 16, 2021 #226 Share Posted April 16, 2021 So if you have the SS they won’t put alcohol in your fridge if you are DV? Or do you have to order it from room service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V drawers do not get replenished (unless you do it yourself which is what we did). DV gets refilled Dailey with soft drinks. Thank you .. yes, I should have mentioned that. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragnar Danneskjold Posted April 17, 2021 #229 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Doberman. As a stark reminder to not have hopes or expectations, the breeder called an hour after I posted the photo to tell us the male with the yellow collar died, and that she was keeping the other three. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you have to order it from room service? The SS package and the in-room mini bar are separate issues. Depending on your cabin category you will have specific mini bar benefits - as discussed in prior posts. The SS package is described in the Viking website as; Viking offers a Silver Spirits beverage package, which covers any drinks (excluding champagne) up to $15.00, including premium wines by the glass, cocktails, all house pouring wines, beers, liquors, well drinks, mixers/long drinks and soft drinks throughout the day for a flat fee per guest. Note that wine is 'by the glass'. So no, you can't ask for your DV mini bar (or any other mini bar) to be topped up with a bottle because you have the SS package. But yes, anyone can order wines by the glass from room service - and if you have the SS package there would be no additional charge for doing this. Of course prepare to be pleasantly surprised by the service you receive once on board. I recall one occasion where I asked for 2 glasses of wine in the Explorers Lounge. The bar man asked where I was sitting and I told him no, I'm taking these back to the room. He grabbed a bottle which was about one third full and handed it to me. He said something like 'you might spill the wine from the glasses, this will be more convenient'. I took the bottle back to the cabin. Of course 'rules' might be different post pandemic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was this a world cruise thing, or possible on any cruise with the Silver Spirits plan? Not that I actually need a whole bottle of Baileys, but still … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left a note on the desk asking for that to be replaced with a sav blanc or something similar. 2 hours later we returned, Aussie sav blanc in mini bar as requested. Oh, excellent! Maybe we can swap for New Zealand sav blanc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Overstone' sav blanc from the Hawkes Bay Region of NZ was very popular last time we were on board. In Australia, Margaret River and Adelaide Hills are both well regarded sav blanc producing areas so keep an eye out for those options as well. Enjoy.

May I suggest posting on the Roll Call where I recently posted information on the cruise album on page 52, post #1283. If you have any questions we can answer them on the Roll Call, so we don't hijack this thread. BTW - we are also boarding in L/A. We have at least 2 other couples coming from Ontario.

But I’d be happy to run the experiment. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
