moki'smommy Posted April 11, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 11, 2018 You call room service and tell them what you want to exchange. Sorry...I disembarked today, but didn't make a list of the mini-bar contents. We swapped for the 2 coffee cards. Got ones with no expiration date and no cruise ship or number written in.

paul929207 Posted April 11, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I believe there are two each of scotch, gin, Canadian & brandy. You can swap them for more of the above. ie, trade gin for scotch. There are 12 cans/bottles of water, soda and beer. They can also be swapped for others in the group. ie. beer for water. Other options - trade whole thing for 2 coffee cards. Trade the whole thing for a bottle of wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you can make changes onboard by dialing room service. Mini bottles of liquor can be exchanged; liquor can also be exchanged for beer. You can also exchange the entire setup for: a bottle of wine, coffee cards, sodas only or waters only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare geoherb Posted April 12, 2018 #12 Share Posted April 12, 2018 If you're not in a hurry, it's easier to wait until the second or third day to make the exchange. Room service is really busy the first day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul929207 Posted April 12, 2018 #14 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I wish they would let us order the mini-bar setup as we want it before the cruise. This would eliminate the double work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a time saving procedure & when on B2B cruises I’ve called them near the end of the first cruise to adjust our minibar which they appreciated to only have to make one delivery.

While I agree, it would eliminate the seeming double work - imagine the headache/work of arranging the setups before hand, and getting them to the right cabins. With onky a few hours for turnaround, sorting through anywhere from 100-1000 pre-orders of mini-bar set-ups, organizing then, tagging them to correct cabin, then delivery is way, way more complicated and time consuming than having all set-ups, including suites, standard, dropping off the same thing along the way, and making the much fewer changes later on... While some make changes, many don't - whether because they don't know they can or are happy with what they get or just don't care that much..

I can see reasons to not allow changes to the minibar in advance, but it seems like it would be a great time saver to be able to specify in advance whether you want the minibar, the coffee cards, or the wine.

paul929207 Posted April 12, 2018 #19 Share Posted April 12, 2018 We have been on two b2b(2b) where they gave out a form towards the end of the first leg. We filled in our preferences and they were delivered on turnaround day. Delivery person said it was a big time saver for them. The first time was on the Grand around South America in 2013. There were over 1000 Elites who did all three legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caribill Posted April 13, 2018 #23 Share Posted April 13, 2018 If you trade in minibar for two coffee cards will the cards carry an expiration date? If the ones being sold have an expiration date, so will the ones in exchange for the mini-bar. Basically, once the supply without an expiration date is used up on a ship, all new ones will have an expiration dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWP Posted April 13, 2018 #24 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Several years ago you could put your mini bar preferences on your Captains Circle profile, but I don't think anyone ever read it. Ours was always stock standard despite our preferences and we have been Elite since 2008. Now it would be a nightmare for room service to run around the ship changing mini bar items, there are plenty of Elites around these days. I have had to wait 3 days some days to trade items in.:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehogan Posted April 13, 2018 #25 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Not to good to hear about it taking days to change out the Elite bar if you are wanting a coffee card changeout. With expiry dates in effect I'd want to take advantage of my card from the first day, especially if I am not cruising again that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
