The Flying Pirate Posted October 6, 2010 #351 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Now all they need to do is add it to the “gifts and gear” online catalog. They even have a perfect space for it at the bottom of the page by the wine. How nice would that be? Show up in your cabin and have a little cooler of iced down beer waiting for you that also gives you money off refills for the entire cruise. Pure heaven!!!! That is the best idea I have heard on Cruise Critic in quite a while, hopefully someone from RCCL is "spying" on this thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snausman Posted October 13, 2010 #356 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Just got off the Liberty, and they had tons of these bags. But you could only buy Bud products. They still had bags available on day 6. Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully RCI does lurk these threads and sees this one. Just wish they would make one of the options some a good English ale/ bitter like Boddington's/Caffery's/Tetley's. :) Most cruises, I go to bar/pub and buy some beers and take back to room for refrigerator.

DH kept putting off buying his 'bucket' and finally decided he would get it on Thursday. We were in the On Air bar for the Guitar Hero competition so he asked there. They no longer had the cooler on display and the bartender told him the promotion was over, but he would see if he had any left. He came back with one and filled it for us. Lucky break, we thought. After that, though, we noticed EVERY other bar still had the coolers on display through the rest of the cruise. So apparently, the promotion wasn't over after all. Definitely Bud products only and definitely an awesome deal. Can't wait to put the cooler to work here at home while I think about my great vacation memories. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find I hurry to get something that is running out to find it hasn't and then my DW reminds and reminds and reminds me. :) Does the bag have any promotional logos on it other than the Crown & Anchor? Seems to me, anyone could sponsor the bag from the picture I saw. Thus, any beer could be sold I would think. Hope you use your bag soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "Bud only" rule was the only downside, as he had been drinking Blue Moons before he bought the cooler. Several Bud Lights + not eating lunch = migraine for hubby. The Blue Moons were more expensive, so I can see why they weren't included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DW thinks I always go to the most expensive beer list anyway, but I just like stronger beers. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dla55 Posted October 14, 2010 #364 Share Posted October 14, 2010 We were on the 10/3 freedom, I asked at every bar I passed and they all knew nothing about the deal....When I asked at the pool bar another customer chimmed in that he had been looking also (he asked me if I read about it on Cruise Critic). The bar tender then called for a superviser. We were told it was a special , month only promo from Bud (I knew that was not true) and would run out at the end of the month. We were also told that they had run out of bags and they would be available mid week. I started seeing them Wed. evening. It wasn't worth buying then, as there was only 1 beer drinker in our group.

Woohoo! My sailing is this month! :) I do think it's funny that "they will be available later" when they're already on the ship. Why couldn't they just say that it's a special they will run on such and such day? I think it's great that Royal Caribbean is doing this. :) It would definitely help to sway my choice of cruise line in the future knowing that they are considerate with their drink specials.

ncbamafan Posted October 14, 2010 #367 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Yes, thanks for the info - we'll be on the 10/17 Liberty sailing, and I will be taking advantage of this if they are still offering it. Do you know if this offer was available from the first day? Just got off the Liberty, and they had tons of these bags. But you could only buy Bud products. They still had bags available on day 6.

Do you know if this offer was available from the first day? Yes we bought the bag on day 1 at about noon. We bought it at vintages, even before they were open for business. One of the bartenders told us to go there and we could buy it. Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frito58 Posted October 14, 2010 Author #370 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I just found out they were not on the Radiance as it came into Tampa , one of our group ask the roll call of that group and she said nowhere to be found:(:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grumpus Posted October 14, 2010 #371 Share Posted October 14, 2010 has one been on oasis the past few weeks and taken advantage of this offer? Did they limit you to bud products? TIA Kathy Hi Kathy. They did do the cooler promotion on the 9/11 sailing and it was for Bud, Bud Lite, Bud Lime and Mic Ultra only. They completely sold out of coolers that week - along with all the Bud so there was no promotion on the next sailing (9/18). I haven't heard if they've done it on Oasis since.

Oscar1410 Posted October 18, 2010 #375 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Soooooo interesting! Read through the whole thread and cracks me up! Gotta love that they are curious where everyone has "heard" about this deal. GO CRUISE CRITIC!.... and its a continued bummer there are inconsistancies. If they could get it consistant and well advertised they would make tons more $$$$. Isnt that there MO? Agreed, (RCCL) if you are listening....please expand the choices, never "run out", advertise consistantly with the same great pricing..and maybe develope MORE bundled drink specials.....we love em! People eat that up...getting ANY kind of a discount on a cruise. Eat, drink, and be merry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
