Mini bar set up?

[West Coast Gal]

We have booked a suite for the first time, and it has been several years since we have cruised on Princess as Elite.

Does the mini bar set up include soda or is it only liquor?

Since you are sailing as Elite in a suite, you should receive two mini bar setups. When we were on the CB two weeks ago, everything except the Perrier was there when we got to our cabin. The Perrier was delivered a couple of days later.

Awesome Answer! Thank you

Very nice to know they have Sprite Zero! How did you get your Princess Elite badge on your signature?

I was wondering about two set ups

Don't know what Pam did, but you can download CC badges and avatars from the Download area on the Princess website. I copied my avatar from someone else's post a couple of years ago.

Colo Cruiser, thanks for the information . . In fact, your elite badge was the first one I noticed on a different thread, so it was quite a coincidence that you are the one that told me about how to find it!

You also can trade-in your mini bar set up for two coffee cards worth about $70,00.

I do that because I'm a coffee hound.

However, know that in addition to the "mini bar" alcohol drinks they take everything. Including the cans of soda and tonic water.

On my last two sailings (in September), only one set-up was delivered. One time he said that he was waiting to deliver the second one because of lack of space and the other time they forgot that I was elite and should have two set-ups. So...if you only have one mini-bar setup in your suite, feel free to ask about the second one. I love this benefit, especially with the flexibility to switch one setup for coffee cards.

On our last cruise which was a B2B as Elites in a suite, we tradded 1 set up for coffee cards and one for wine, the wine list in the above post is not accurate. I think it depends on the ship.

The post is a direct quote from the Elite FAQ on the Princess website. They may have run short on inventory and had to substitute.

Can you elaborate just a tad more?

 

Is the exchange on the liquor one to one for a can of beer? I drink hard liquor but my drinks are more along the lines of margarita's, etc. DH likes beer. We will be sailing in a suite (first time-very excited!) and I would like to know if I can exchange the little bottles for beer. I'm understanding the soda part, trade a can of Sprite for a can of Diet Coke but is one mini bottle per bottle of beer?
