cruise*enthusiast Posted December 28, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 28, 2023 I did a search for "No-host Mini bar descriptions and I'm seeing differing descriptions. Some say it's free while others say they charge for anything you take out of it. By "free" do they mean people that have chosen the beverage option?

Rare richwmn Posted December 28, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 28, 2023 The "no host mini bar" is not free. You will be charged for anything you take from it. It is also not included in any beverage package. However, if you are 3 star or above you will get a discount on the items you use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REOVA Posted December 28, 2023 #5 Share Posted December 28, 2023 We ask the cabin steward to remove everything from the fridge and get our own drinks through HIA and put in. That way we don't worry about charges for what was taken. Plus it's stocked with what we choose. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackduck59 Posted December 31, 2023 #12 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I think the key words are "No Host", that is a rather universal phrase. There will be many events, weddings, funerals, banquets etc. that will have a notation on the bottom "No Host Bar", that means you're paying for your own drinks.

cruise*enthusiast Posted January 2 Author #16 Share Posted January 2 Do the mini bars in the penthouses include the contents or do you have to pay for them like the other cabins do? If they are complimentary, do they restock it daily? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is "flat" or still water. HAL has ALMOST eliminated plastic bottles as a campaign. 18 minutes ago, cruise*enthusiast said: Do the mini bars in the penthouses include the contents or do you have to pay for them like the other cabins do?

Torquer Posted January 3 #20 Share Posted January 3 Non-alcoholic drinks are free in the Pinnacle Suite; you still need to pay for alcoholic drinks. Plus the non-Pinnacle-class ships have a very large refrigerator and it seems like more variety of every thing in it. The Pinnacle-class ships have the small mini-fridge like other cabins, although as I said, the non-alcoholic drinks are free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
