Suite Mini Bar Setup

[candydane]

I can't find any current information from searching CC.

 

What is included in the "free" mini bar for suites?

[Thrak]

It should be two of each of these:

 

Courvoisier VSOP

Beefeater Gin

Skyy Vodka

Dewar's Scotch Whisky

Dos Equis Beer

 

 

Coke

Sprite

Tonic Water

Perrier

Bottled Water

 

You can trade the whole thing in for 2 coffee cards or a bottle of wine. You can also swap out items for others such as dumping the Gin for more Scotch.

 

Some folks also swap the booze out for soda and water.

Do elite's in suite's get 2 mini-bar set-ups? Am elite and will have a full suite on next cruise.

[Aloha 1]

Do elite's in suite's get 2 mini-bar set-ups? Am elite and will have a full suite on next cruise.

 

And to this point, if 2 Elites are in the same full suite, do they get a total of 4 mini bar setups?

Yes, two setups.

 

And to this point, if 2 Elites are in the same full suite, do they get a total of 4 mini bar setups?

 

No, 2 Elites in a regular cabin only get one setup. That extends to full suites. You get a maximum of one regardless of the number of Elites above one and one for being in a full suite.

[gotta cruise again]

Thank you for the info, beg3yrs...much appreciated!

 

Now we'll keep most of 1 set-up and swap the other for bottled water, now that bottled water seems to no longer be a suite benefit.

[2003Soccer17]

When you say coffee card, does that include the card for 15 coffees?

[cflutist]

When you say coffee card, does that include the card for 15 coffees?

 

Yes, you can swap the entire minibar for two coffee cards, good for 15 espresso drinks (hot or cold), unlimited brewed coffee.

 

They have decaf and soymilk available too.

Now we'll keep most of 1 set-up and swap the other for bottled water, now that bottled water seems to no longer be a suite benefit.

 

If you do the bottled water in advance you can get a lot of water for the mini-bar value.

 

 

Bottled Water Package $6.90 for 12 (500 ml) bottles

 

Stay hydrated and refreshed throughout your cruise with 12 (500 ml) bottles of water conveniently delivered to your stateroom. Price includes service charge.

For pre-purchase ONLY through Gift Guide or Cruise Personalizer

 

I would consider buying the water in advance and trading out the minibar setup for a coffee card (or something else..:confused:). Just a thought. In our experience water is more costly when purchased on board instead of in advance. BTW, those 500 ml water bottles are priced at $2.00 per bottle on the minibar re-stock menu vs $0.58 per bottle with the pre-cruise order cost.

Bottled water never was a suite benefit, just the minibar. I believe that was an originally advertised and then dropped benefit with the Club Class announcement.

Wow- those are some really bottom-of-the-barrel wines!

Ya, well, the minibar mini liqueur bottles are not exactly a top shelve value (nor are the other minibar components).

 

We still enjoy and appreciate them.

 

Just sayin'.

So my wife and I really don't drink Gin, so where can I exchange the bottles of Gin in the mini-bar for something else?

Call room service and swap it out. My hubby doesn't like gin either.

[EllenSunny1]

I wonder if it’s possible to swap the liquor portion for one coffee card.

Not supposed to be able to do so. It's all of the minibar for two coffee cards. You can swap any of the alcoholic beverages for nonalcoholic ones. You can also swap the nonalcoholic ones for any canned soft drinks that room service has. DH likes ginger ale, so we get six cans of it. Now that neither of us drinks beer, we swap it for Perrier.

 

As far as water in suites (from the older part of this thread), we received two additional bottles of water every day in our suite last month on the Royal.
