Any cabins with Fridges?

[adisneynut]

I have checked a few places and I am finding that 1 site list cat.8 as having a fridge. Is this true? Which catergories have them? Thanks

ALL cabins have a beverage cooler. While not a true "fridge" they will keep your sodas cool. Not ice cold, but certainly fine for drinking.

We take a soft-sided, collapsible cooler and have the room steward fill it with ice to get things cool. Once the beverages are cold, the room fridge will keep them that way, but it takes the better part of two days for it to get them cold.

If you need a true refrigerator for something such as medication I understand from other postings that you can request one by filling out the medical form and returning it to DCL.

Since Señor Ferrari mentioned it took 2 days for soda to get cool I figured I'd pass on a tip I learned on some PBS show talking about picnics that works great!!

Don't just put the sodas in ice but surround them with both ice AND water. The water temporature drops much quicker and the cans are then completely surrounded in ice cold water vs just where the ice would touch. It seems strange at first but I have done this with completely warm soda in a cooler outside and had them in hours not days.

We put a large ziploc bag filled with ice into the beverage cooler and it helped keep everything very cold.

First of all, our beverage cooler MADE and kept our things quite cold! All I'd read on here was that the cooler did not make things cold, and we ended up getting "scolded" for having our wine too cold!

We brought two bottles of red wine (unchilled) and for lack of a better place to put them, put them in the cool box. When we went to dinner at Palo (the first night after being on board about seven hours) we handed our nice bottle of Amerone to the matra'de and he looked at us like we were ignorant and said "this is chilled...I let it come down to room temperature for a while" and walked away with it!

So the next time we took wine to dinner, we took it out that morning so it would have the day to "come down".

Maybe some cool boxes work better than others!

Thanks for all the helpful advice.

What I meant was that the "fridge" in the rooms took two days to get the beer cold (you mean you can put soda in there, too?). It only takes a couple hours for the ice to get it cold. And yes, I have used the ice and water method, it keeps things very cold. Once it's cold, the room fridge keeps it that way nicely.
