Mini Bar

[duquephart]

What do folks do with leftover "nips" every day? Leave them so only the missing gets replenished or stash them somewhere so everything gets replenished? Tell the truth!

Truth be told my husband likes rum so asked only rum be stocked. He probably had only 1 or 2 um drinks a day. By the end of the cruise he did take home about 6 nips. So relative to the total number stocked, not that many.

Two or three rums a day on a 12 day cruise would be more than six total. One way to look at it is that you have paid for all of them.

We too asked to only have vodka and gin (they don’t stock bourbon 😢) but we didn’t stash the ones we didn’t drink everyday though one could. We tended to stash the shampoo and conditioner. LOL

Is the Rum white or dark rum.

White. Bacardi. In other words, not really rum.

[vino100]

Is there really no bourbon in the mini bar ? 

[duquephart]

Haven't seen one yet. Room guy said not available.

That is what I was told when we asked.  If you want bourbon I suggest bringing it aboard yourself.

No Bourbon; just Dewars White Label blended Scotch (plus Beefeater gin, Smirnoff vodka, and the aforementioned Bacardi white rum)

What about the chocolate bars ? Stash or not?

[harbourside]

We got 3 mini Toberone Bars, plus packet peanuts and packet of almonds.  Is this the same for all ships, or do they change. Yes, we also ate the chocolate bars before the "chocolate man" came.

Yes, we made sure our chocolates were replenished every day, and some did come home in our suitcase. [emoji6]

Same for all ships. They used to do potato chips. Glad the switched to nuts.

[Clay Clayton]

Well I preferred the chips, especially after we had a batch of rancid nuts.

Just curious do they stock any kind of wine?

[Clay Clayton]

Not automatically.  I don’t know if you can request though. 

[Mich3554]

Our nuts never made it to the suitcase......we ate them!  The chocolate too.

Not besides the initial bottle of champaign (if you qualify). I read somewhere that a bottle of wine may substituted for the four little bottles of booze if requested. Doesn't hurt to ask.

We did request, and it was not a problem at all.  We got a full bottle, which wasn’t replenished automatically, but they asked us if we wanted another when that one was gone.

NEVER hurts to ask. Viking is very accommodating.

We asked for the wine on the first day and the cabin steward brought it later that afternoon.  He replaced it without us asking when he saw the empty bottle.

The same for us. We “traded” all the booze and soft drinks for two bottles of wine that were replenished when empty.

[cruisesport]

Not a wine drinker, but will sure squirrel away all the chocolate bars, if they are not eaten first.

Were you able to ask for a specific type of red or white wine?
