While Carnival will be emptying the mini bars that are in staterooms (the ships that have them) by the end of this month, they will be keeping the mini refrigerators in cabins so passengers can use them to keep other items cold (bottled water, soda etc).

John Heald, the senior cruise director for Carnival, posted the following message on his Facebook page:
“By the end of this month, all the ships that have mini bars in the cabins will have them emptied and used for storage of your ordered bottled water or for whatever you wish.”
This change will make it easier on room stewards on embarkation day as many passengers ask to have the mini bar emptied so they can keep the drinks they brought on board cold. You find Carnival’s alcohol policy here, which states that cruisers may bring up to 2 750mL bottles of wine. No other alcoholic beverages are permitted, however, you can bring non-alcoholic beverages if they are in sealed containers.
