Mini bars are only in your cabin if your loyalty status is "elite", and in that case, it's a perk for being elite. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprocket Posted October 16, 2021 #4 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I ordered drinks to be delivered to the room through the app. Easy and one of my favorite perks of Princess Plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OR if you are booked in a full suite. Mini Suites don't count. If you are Elite and also booked in a full suite then you get two mini bar setups. I think sometimes folks confuse the mini bar with the drinks that used to be in the refrigerator when you got to the cabin. Those drinks were not included and some folks ended up paying for drinks they thought were included. I "think" Princess quit doing that as we haven't had anything in the refrigerator the last few cruises we took. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned if you already have the mini bar set up due to your loyalty status or being in a full suite that initial set up is no charge. If you do not have the set up and order the small 50ml bottles of spirits, you will be charged. If you call room service and order other items or order through the ocean now program you will be charged according to the terms and conditions shown below. Note that you can only order one item at a time using the beverage package. If you order two at the same time the 2nd is charged. If you do not qualify for the free mini bar set up there may or may not be any mini bar items in your fridge. If your fridge was pre-stocked and if you use any of these items you will be charged. https://www.princess.com/html/global/personalizer/ssv/beverages/disclaimer/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, does it come with mixers? If not, what do you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will not be high end brands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can trade all for water, all for soda, all for a bottle of wine, or like for like, ie swap all the booze for one type of minis or all beer, and all the non-alcoholic for all water or all soda or all ginger ale, etc. Room Service or your room steward to change. Generally, the minis are 2 vodka, 2 gin, 2 or 4 scotch . No rum available on minis. (50ml, airline size.). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, we’ll be good with two vodkas for my wife with tonic, and trade everything else for six Jack Daniels and Diet Cokes for me.😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Courvoisier sometimes. Absolut vodka, sometimes Sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my many cruises I've seen Sky Vodka, Gordon's Gin, Dewar's Scotch, Courvoisier Brandy. Beer is normally Dos Equis. Non alcoholic includes 2 plain waters, 2 Perrier, 2 Diet Coke, 2 Regular Coke, 2 tonics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they only have Courvoisier VS. A definite step down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potstech Posted April 12 #19 Share Posted April 12 It is funny that when in the Caribbean where gallons of rum is made that no small bottles of any kind of rum is available for the mini bars. Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
