Elite Minibar Setup - Types of Soda Pop Available

[flourpot]

I have read on here that you can switch out the alcohol in the Elite minibar setup for soda/pop/soft drinks. Does anyone know the types of pop available to chose from? I have heard about Coke and Sprite, but was wondering if you could get other flavors like ginger ale, root beer, orange, etc.

Thanks!

I don't believe they have all the choices you mentioned. Have only seen Sprite and coke in my complementary mini bar set up. You can also exchange it for 2 coffee cards or a bottle of wine

Sprite, Coke, Diet Coke, Tonic..

They also have ginger ale, Seagrams I think and Fanta Orange. I often ask about Root Beer but have never been able to get it. We get the ginger ale almost all the time but have never opted for the orange. It may not be offered on all cruises.

We do not drink hard liquor so we trade mini bar for a bottle of wine. we also have gotten diet sprite, ginger ale exchanged for the coke, sprite, tonic and club soda. BIG problem is room service has to do it. Good luck!

I have seen Ginger ale for the mini bar but have not seen orange.

They have root beer now! got it over New Years

[gooch47]

Yes, room service has to make the switch, but it has always been done for us with no hassles at all.

Yay! I'm glad I don't have to drink the coke and have other good options. :-)

Good to know, will switch out the tonic from now on.:o

Never been a problem for us. We call when we get to our room and the switch is usually done by the time we get back from muster drill.

[frankathy]

Last two times, different ships. Answer was no. Went to captains circle host to get it.

Same has been true for us! :D

Which ship? I asked on the Regal in January, they didn't have it. :-(

 

Since they use Coke products, I am assuming you got Barques. True?

Yes barqs. Not diet. Ruby and Caribbean Princess

[yoyosma]

Thanks. Odd but I think I asked for it on the Ruby in November and they didn't have it either, but I may not have.

 

I realized while eating dinner I spelled it wrong while pooring some of it into a glass. Just gotta put that u after the q.

While it has been awhile, I did get orange soda several times.

For a mini bar trade?

[frankathy]

I think it is the person you speak too. I asked to have the two dos Equis traded for two buckles non-alcoholic beer and told no. I called back later and no problem.

[oskidunker]

You used to be able to request what you wanted via the personalized. Not now. Strange thing is they always stock it exactly the way i set it up a few years ago

[moonhunter]

We have never had a problem getting this replaced with a bottle if wine. It does seem strange that Princess will give you two coffee cards - a $60 dollar value - or one bottle of wine - a $30 dollar value. But we don't drink anything stronger than wine and don't drink beer or soft drinks, so it seems worthwhile. One coffee card seems to work for the two of us.

For a mini bar trade?

 

Yes - it is the only soda on the ship that I drink. So I often swap it for some orange soda and mostly water. I have done this many times, it has just been a few years since I sailed with Princess.

I was able to swap the four Dos Equis (two setups) for four Beefeaters on our November cruise.
