frito58 Posted October 18, 2010 Author #376 Share Posted October 18, 2010 We did hear that the Radiance got them after she got to Tampa. One of our group was on the Oct. 9th roll call and they said they had them. We are on her the 25th and we trying to find out so we went to the source.\ Yes I agree all the twist and turns this thread has taken has been humorus, but enjoyable. We figured if they had it wonderful a big plus, if not oh well , life would go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary09 Posted October 18, 2010 #381 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Why can't they honor the '8 for 6' pricing for the passengers that know about the deal, at least? I can understand being out of coolers themselves. Though you'd think they'd have them on day 1. I guess having no vessel to deliver them in might be a problem. Don't all the ships have beer buckets, though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't all the ships have beer buckets, though? You can buy a bucket of beer normally. I thought the whole point was that buying a bucket gave you one free (buy 4 get fifth free or something like that) but I don't think it really worked out like that. On Liberty this summer, I bought a bucket of Coronas but forgot to wait until we left port, so I paid tax on it--basically offsetting almost any discount I might have gotten lol.

KCMiller Posted October 19, 2010 #383 Share Posted October 19, 2010 On the Monarch this past week, the 'special' was that you got the cooler for free when you bought 5 beers (I think, it might have been 6). No discount on refills, according to the pool bartender who we asked on embarkation day. I didn't need another cooler, and anyway, the rum we brought on in our luggage tasted just fine in our diet Cokes ;). KC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkg Posted October 19, 2010 #384 Share Posted October 19, 2010 OK, just came off the Oasis. They offered this cooler with 8 beers on Monday our first sea day and was available the whole week. The cost after gratuities was $39, then 8 more after that was around $25. ENJOY!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar1410 Posted October 19, 2010 #385 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Oh for Pete's sakes!....someone just posted on the "other" beer bucket thread (entitled "beer cooler") that they were just off an RCCL ship (the Monarch) and the first round was Bud based beers...and then thereafter you could buy ANY beer for the cooler at the rockin price! RCCL....please get this straight! You are going to really frustrate lots of your loyal return cruisers! ....bring on the non-Bud beer! Hope this continues...;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not the policy. I read that post also, and I really think that person just got lucky. He/she most likely just had an uninformed bartender. The refills are also supposed to be the Bud products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is a policy, I would like to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps policy was not the best word. It's a Bud promotion deal. The refills of $25 are only supposed to be for the promoted Bud products. It can be refilled with other products, but if you do that, you are supposed to pay the full price for those other particular products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzaholic41 Posted October 24, 2010 #390 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I have now been on 4 cruises with this deal. Oasis, Grandeur, and twice on Majesty. DH purchased his on Majesty and has now used it twice since then on Grandeur and Oasis. In answer to being able to use it on future cruises, yes. In answer to what kind of beer, only Bud (and other Bud products), and that includes refills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radioheed Posted October 26, 2010 #391 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Anyone off Radiance recently? Is this deal on radiance? If so what bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Flying Pirate Posted October 26, 2010 #392 Share Posted October 26, 2010 If it is a Bud Promotion it is a great idea and I hope it is not a limited time thing. Drink prices were getting too high on board as it was. They need to have some drink specials. Yes they need to make a profit but it was a bit much.

mets550 Posted October 26, 2010 #393 Share Posted October 26, 2010 They really should institute a drink package like Celebrity. People would still pay, but it is nice to know that you don't have to worry about every drink cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sledhead Posted October 27, 2010 #395 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Anyone off Radiance recently? Is this deal on radiance? If so what bar? Yes it is available on Radiance. Just got off her last Thursday. Basically $40 for the first 8 beers. Bud products and the refill was like $25. The first fill you get nothing free except the cooler bag. reg price of a beer was $4.25. It was available at pool bars and the waiters would sell it too. Not a bad deal. Hate the glass bottles though. Bring Back the aluminum 16 Ouncers !!:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For safety concerns I'd like to seem them go to cans or aluminum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2NnB Posted October 27, 2010 #397 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Do they open them for you? On Carnival, DH bought a beer bucket and they put them in cups since they said no glass in the pool area. Is this on the Explorer of the Seas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Liberty a couple of weeks ago, they did not open them for you as you have a bottle opener in the bag. Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted October 27, 2010 #399 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Bud products are twist-offs but if you can't open them, there is a bottle opener attached to the bag. Also, the bartender will give you a stack of plastic cups to pour the beers in if you are poolside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer drinking out of cups as opposed to bottlers, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
