"Soda Only" Setup in Cabin

[nostalgiaguru]

If I have room service give us nothing other than soda in our first setup in our room (removing the booze), how many cans would we receive in that initial setup?

Hi There

 

Are you keeping the water, ginger beer etc, if all go about 12 if I recall

I believe it's a one for one trade. They used to give you the dollar value from what I've read, but now it's just an even trade.

Yes its a one for one trade. You'll end up with about 18-20 of one item, just call room service and they will switch it out for you

We traded in everything, complete set up for diet coke and got 20 diet coke. If I remember correctly you get 8 mini alchohol, 6 sodas, 2 beer, 2 water, and 2 Perreir water, which adds up to 20. Just call room service when you board and tell them what you want swapped. They seem to be pretty quick when doing the swap, and you don't have to wait in your cabin, they will do the swap even if you are not there.

I agree with the above post. Traded in all the alcohol and recieved 20 cans of soda.

That's what I do too - all Diet Coke and water bottles in exchange for the alcohol. It worked out to 20 items total.

It is an item per item swap for that Elite mini-bar. Per Room Service on Emerald Princess in April, alcoholic items can be traded for soda/water, but soda/water cannot be traded for alcoholic drinks.

OK, I admit this is probably a stupid question but is what is in your fridge free? Or if you drink this are you getting docked for it? Should I just request to have nothing in it to be safe? haha

If you are not getting the elite (or suite) setup, then the only thing free in the fridge is the ice in the bucket.

 

Otherwise, any cans of soda or water bottles used will result in a charge to your account.

You only get the set up if you are in a suite or are elite.

You can bring your own soda & water onboard at embarkation and put it in your refrigerator.

 

Your room steward will remove the not-free items from your cabin so you'll have room in your refrigerator.

Seriously?? You can do this?! How great! Do you need a soda card, or is it truly a free trade-off? Seems like there would be some 'small print' to get ya. :cool:

 

EDIT:

Whoops, just read other posts about it only being Elite. Darn!

Hi There

 

You can order a soda package from room service which will give you 6 cans of your choice cost is cheaper than buying a single can from a bar

Its not like checking into a hotel, there is really no stocked minibar in your cabin at check in. The only to purchase items might be a bottle or two of water on the countertop.

There can also be some Coke cans.
