cpayne Posted February 9, 2011 #3 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I have not seen this served on the other cruise lines yet. Would like to see it added to the bar menu, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpayne Posted February 9, 2011 #6 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Perhaps I'm missing something, but why would someone find it incredible and roll their eyes re: someone asking if a particular beer was served? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpayne Posted February 9, 2011 #8 Share Posted February 9, 2011 That is what I do not like about cruise critic any more.....a person cannot ask a simple question without being torn down or torn apart. Very disappointing. This used to be such a great outlet to ask questions and now it's a medium for other people to criticize each other. Let's go back to a kinder gentler cruise critic! I miss the old boards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andit certainly is not a critic of a person.. Just a horrible beer... Expressing one's opposing and sometimes negative/harsh opinions of someone else's preference can be perceived as a critic of the person. It gives the boards a negative "feel". Not everyone has the same tastes. Makes the world go round. However, let's simply just answer questions that are asked. The poster did not ask what others thought of the beer. Just wanted to know whether it was served. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill B Posted February 9, 2011 #11 Share Posted February 9, 2011 The only Budweiser they had on the Volendam last month was 'regular' in the blue, aluminum can/bottles. The bar menu meant nothing and beer selection was very 'hit & miss' depending on the bar. 'Local' Australian, Fiji and NZ beers appeared and disappeared throughout the cruise.

I miss the old boards! In general I find it odd when people ask about very specific things being on the ship. And when it is the OP's first post in almost three years it makes it even stranger.

LMAO! :D This topic reminds me: The Westerdam actually had a beer I could drink last month -- Dos Equis Amber. I'm not sure if it was an aberration or what.

DutchByAssociation Posted February 10, 2011 #17 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Does anyone know if the Noordam serves Selelct 55? It's not a beer currently offered unless there's a test program on a ship or two but I'm not familiar with one. There's a pretty decent light beer selection though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igraf Posted February 10, 2011 #18 Share Posted February 10, 2011 HAL's best beer offering is Grolsch. It is Dutch! As a bonus, it comes in a larger bottle. igraf LMAO! :D This topic reminds me: The Westerdam actually had a beer I could drink last month -- Dos Equis Amber.

Bill B Posted February 10, 2011 #20 Share Posted February 10, 2011 HAL's best beer offering is Grolsch. It is Dutch! As a bonus, it comes in a larger bottle. Yes... and it's also the most expensive! In '03/'04 on the Amsterdam (S.A./Antarctica) I met three couples from the Netherlands and we all hung around in the Crows Nest drinking Grolsch... until they ran out - we drank it dry... LOL. I said "What? The name of this ship is the Amsterdam, it's registered in Rotterdam and belongs to Holland America. How can you run out of Grolsch?" The good thing about Grolsch is the bottles are 'recapable' with a waterproof seal. So when they run out, you take an empty one, write a note - Help! Stranded on cruise ship with no good beer. Co-ordinates approx. 60 degrees, 60 minutes south, 60 degrees, 60 minutes west. Please send Grolsch." put it in the bottle, 'cap it' and throw it over the side. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he boards a HAL ship he tells the first bartender he sees to please spread the word that he drinks two Grolsch a day ... and they better make sure not to run out while he is cruising! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
