rcacace Posted October 10, 2008 #26 Share Posted October 10, 2008 But you do realize, Pia, that you might be fattening Princess' profits by almost $4 when you switch them out. :) :rolleyes: Maybe you can make it up in free laundry! :D Gotta have my jeans dry cleaned at least at least 2 more times on the next cruise so I look good for formal night.:cool: :p :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caber Posted October 10, 2008 #28 Share Posted October 10, 2008 WE didn`t like any of the spirits either last cruise but couldn`t get them changed as they don`t do wine or Bacardi Rum. Our friends say they will help us out drinking what we get next cruise.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't drink the hard stuff at all. Just have to sweet talk the right room service supervisor. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colo Cruiser Posted October 10, 2008 #33 Share Posted October 10, 2008 So who do I ask when I get onboard? This has made my day,:D It will be in the Q&A folder (binder) on the desk in your cabin. Look in the room service section and the liquor packages are listed there. Call room service on the cabin phone and order. If you are Elite then when you call room service ask to speak with the supervisor and ask for the switch out of your liquor setup. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't hurt to try. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFParrtHd Posted October 10, 2008 #36 Share Posted October 10, 2008 One setup... And remember you can call room service to exchange bottles.. We usually swap the Gin and Canadian Whiskey for Vodka. So far no Scotch is available.. Oh NO - LAR you swap out the GIN??:D We'll take her :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougH Posted October 10, 2008 #37 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Several times when I've asked to have the booze switched out for sodas I've had a call from the pursers desk to say that they were exchanging $$ for $$ and did I mind if they were a liitle short as the $$ didn't add up to a complete extra soda. Other times the sodas have just appeared with no comments Qty seems to vary ship to ship and cabin steward to cabin steward. As I said I've recieved anywhere from 18 to 30 cans. Once sailing with a friend she got about 12 cans on her switch and I got over twice that. Of course on that trip she had the cabin steward from !@#% and mine was great even though we were only two cabins apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia’s Journey’s Posted October 10, 2008 #38 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I always ask my cabin stewart to switch to all Diet Coke and it's never been a problem, They will give you equal $$ value, it usually amounts to around 18-24 sodas. ( one time I got I believe 30) Still a while till we are elite but good to know this - I thought it would be a one for one swap not $$ related:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulagirl Posted October 10, 2008 #39 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Lady Jag: Too funny, no I didn't feel compelled to drink it all as we brought home the full second bar set up. Just way too much for just me. Wouldn't you know we would get 2 bar setups the only time it was just Lindsay and me. Glad we didn't have to fly home from that cruise. Yes, we have always gotten a full bottle of champagne in our full suites. I probably does have to do with the cabin steward. In the Grand Suite there wasn't even a question as to the full bottle being delivered. Only on the Tahitian Princess did they not swap out the setup. They would change the soda for diet soda, but nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepWaterMariner Posted October 10, 2008 #40 Share Posted October 10, 2008 We've always been able to swap, even on the Tahitian. Our only problem is swapping for ginger ale or rum. I'll have to try Colo Cruisers approach next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
