The mini bar is still there, but the swap out for the coffee is what was removed, which was a nice benefit that has been taken away. And on our last cruise, it wasn't 20, it was 18, so I think there has been another cutback there as well, at least on the Sky. We have always received 10 non alcoholic and 10 alcoholic drinks in our mini bar - last cruise was on Grand Princess in Oct/Nov. Even had 20 drinks on Sky Princess June 2023 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lor74 Posted February 9 #33 Share Posted February 9 Was very sad but not surprised to discover the coffee swap was no longer available 🥺. Thankfully the free Lavazza coffee being offered now is much better than the old sludge! on the Sky….that we were just on, I swapped each week for a mix of liquor, soda and water…..give me 2 of these, 4 of those, 8 of those…… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On NCL we were able to get a coffee pot. Which we were very surprised by. I know when sailing around the British isles they supply a kettle.

Cannot swap for something that does not exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the only option I see when I check my booked cruises under the "Beverage" tab that shows this package covers coffee, cokes, teas etc. Nothing listed for a "Coffee and Soda" package.

The link appears to be from the Cruise Personalizer - Onboard Services. If it is still offered there, IDK why it isn't listed on the main website under beverage packages. I do not have a current booking to check it myself. Could be an old link. It also has "global" in the URL and we don't know where the poster is from.

My point is that the mini bar can be swapped (different items, wine), it just cannot be swapped for something that no longer available on the ship. Many of us that purchase the Plus or Premier packages have several Elite benefits that are of no value to us. At least Princess offers one of the most competitively price Plus type packages. I do understand your point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
