Refridgerators?

I noticed that the cabin I have booked for my first cruise includes a
refrigerator. I'd fully assume this is your standard dorm room sized
mini-fridge, but my question is do they typically have a small freezer
section that I could use to freeze an ice pack or two?

Thanks.


If you need specifics, this is for the Island Princess

I've never seen a frig with freezer capacity on any cruise ship.
Definitely not on Princess.

OK, that's what I expected...

Some of the min-fridges in hotels have a very small corner (think 2
vhs tapes stacked up) section that act's like a mini freezer.

Thanks.

There may be a freezer section as they call it, but it's usually just a tray
under the plate that keeps the fridge cold. I've never had one of these
types actually freeze anything, be it ice, ice packs, etc. It would
probably be better to ask your room person to get it frozen for you.

If you get a refrigerator it will be
most likely a very small unit with at
best a small shelf type "Freezer"
compartment. [Owner's suites tend to
have larger units for the Butler!] My
experience with these small units has
been they will, if everything is working
properly, barely freeze one "blue ice"
container. Unfortunately, some of them
are installed in little compartments
that do not provide them sufficient
ventilation to operate properly. Better
ask your Room Steward to freeze the pack
for you. Make sure you say when you want
it back! Also, once frozen, the little
freezer will keep it "ready to go." Have
a wonderful cruise!

We have had good luck with Princess, "dorm" sized and empty. When you get
there, it will be set on cool rather than cold. I assume they do that to
prevent ice build up around the cooling coils, since they are not "frost free".
Turn the thermostat to "max" and you will have no problem.

Carnival was the worst. Jammed full "mini bar" that cooled things off at best.
Bad design with poor equipment. Room steward said they could not empty it,
locked or unlocked were the only options
