You can swap the ENTIRE set up for ONE bottle of wine. You can trade out any bottle of booze or beer, any can of soda for bottled water ... one for one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your comment that "you can trade out any bottle of booze....one for one" is true only if the ship has a supply of the small bottles of the liquor you want. This is based on my August experience on Coral Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you wsnt to trade your little bottles of booze for water, which is what I meant, it doesn't matter what is in ship stores, as long as they have water ... my reply had to do with getting water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare gotta cruise again Posted September 10, 2019 #62 Share Posted September 10, 2019 The last time I swapped the entire mini bar for a bottle of wine, I was limited to the wine list in the room service menu and there was a max dollar amount, I think around $35 or $40. I asked if I could get a specific wine from the MDR wine list and pay the extra cost but was told “no”. In fact, even if a MDR wine was within the cost limit, swapping for that was still not allowed. I am hopeful that the room service wine list has been improved now that Princess has revamped the other wine lists as getting 2 coffee packages when I’m the only one who drinks it, just isn’t practical.

Just my opinion with which others are likely to disagree, this mini-bar Elite "perk" is much too restrictive to be appreciated by this Princess cruiser. When I cannot exchange some small bottles of liquor for a Canadian Club or Crown Royal botles because "such is not available" is NOT Elite Guest friendly. If a small regional jet's galley can provide such small bottles, and the storerooms of a Princess ship cannot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adventures ahead Posted September 11, 2019 #64 Share Posted September 11, 2019 We've only done two Elite cruises so far. I'm happy to receive 10 complimentary alcoholic drinks from Princess. I usually drink wine so I've appreciated having something different to try. I'm settling on which couple of mini-bar items I'll favour. My husband just has a couple of beer. Now that I've earned this perk, I wouldn't want Princess to take it away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generichandle Posted September 11, 2019 #65 Share Posted September 11, 2019 If your cruise is actually 2 back-to-back cruises, but bought as one, do you get a set-up for each segment? I am doing 28 days, with a 20-day, and an 8-day segment. Hopeful in all that time for renewal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
