Suite Mini-Bar

[Ep010835]

Would someone please elaborate for me how the mini-bar is handled in a suite?

We are in one of the Penthouse suites on the CB for 14 days this November and have read about the "stocked" mini-bar? What exactly does this mean? Haven't been able to find any really good explanation.

Also, I read about folks trading the mini-bar for other perks.

Neither my wife nor I are drinkers so this may be a something we can't really utilize.

Thanks!!

If you check the Princess website under Suite you will find a listing of what is included. Eight miniatures of distilled, two each vodka, scotch, brandy, gin. Fridge holds two beers, two Perriers, two waters, and eight sodas and tonic water. You may switch out the ENTIRE set up for coffee cards or ONE bottle of wine. You may make even switches, distilled for distilled, sodas for sodas. You may also switch down - beers for sodas or waters. Call room service when you get to your cabin and be specific about what you want to change. Language is very important so that you are not disappointed in the results.

You can trade the contents of the mini bar for two coffee cards, a bottle of wine, or for more of the same in the bar, meaning alcohol for alcohol or water/soda, or water and soda for other water or soda. We generally trade the entire contents of the mini bar for diet coke. I realize we are trading more expensive alcohol for less expensive items, but we don’t generally drink, either. We don’t trade for water since as suite passengers, you get two bottles of water every night. Hope my answer makes sense!

Excellent!! Sincere thanks to all.

As neither of us drink coffee either (boring, I know!), we will inquire about swapping the entire contents for Cokes or something similar.

I’ve ordered two 12 packs of water to be in our cabin when we arrive. This along with the two free daily should just about get us through to entire 14 days!

Thanks again everyone.

They love it when you give them back the expensive stuff and just get cokes or water.

Maybe I’ll set up a card table concession by the pool and have a booze sale!:')

Make sure your bags are packed before you man the table. ;)

You might as well get what you'd like. We generally trade our soft drinks for Diet Coke and ginger ale for DH. I sometimes trade the scotch for Perrier. We enjoyed getting the extra bottles of water when we had a suite. We're back to reality now, though, and will just keep refilling the water bottles like we've done in the past.
