wpgcycler Posted January 4, 2020 #26 Share Posted January 4, 2020 4 cabins in our group on Reflection and we each requested this of our steward upon meeting him. It was performed without questions and with a smile. In addition, the steward (Sedine) offered to bring our bottle of bubbly and place it in the fridge along with 2 flutes.

Swordfish1949 Posted January 4, 2020 #27 Share Posted January 4, 2020 We've never had a problem with customizing the selections in the refrigerators or getting unopened beverages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interesting, I have often thought they might refuse me but they never have and I've done this at all bars and the cafe ... even sunset. I wonder if you stating that you wanted it for your stateroom triggered the bartender?? not that it should matter. Maybe don't say where or why you want it for, just ask them not to open.

I didn't bother pursuing and just stuck it somewhere myself. yes, the mini bar items are usually stashed in a bag in the room somewhere... mainly I use the mini bar with a bucket of ice to keep a bottle of bubbly chilled along with couple of unopened beers Seems to work fine as long as you keep ice inside. :) & I think we've experienced the "phantom" charges if you don't get it emptied on day 1 ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ask for an "unopened" glass of wine, do they give you the whole bottle? Is this one real trick that bartenders hate? Just kidding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen haywood Posted January 4, 2020 #33 Share Posted January 4, 2020 It’s actually kind of annoyed me that when we get a last drink to take back to the cabin the bartender will ask my husband “A double?” whereas I still get a regular pour of wine...😩 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone one know if you can get unopened canned drinks and bottles of beer with your drinks package and store them in fridge? I like the idea of being able to pop out on the balcony with a cool drink without having to go to a bar and back. I would also like bottles of water in cabin to take with medication. We have in the past. We politely ask our cabin steward to remove the items in the fridge so I can put in my stuff. Never had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
