Bucket of Beer

[ian09]

If anyone has recently been on the Freedom of the Seas I would love to know if they offer a bucket of beer deal and what the cost of that was? I have also heard in the past they had offered a collapsible cooler that came with eight beers, although I'm not sure if they still offer that deal. I'm going with a group of six friends and these buckets are always great to share in the afternoon. Thanks in advance

From what I can remember you get $1 off a bucket of 4 beers, I have never heard of the collapsible cooler

The coolers are hit or miss. If they do have them they sell out in the first day or 2.

Just off the freedom. No bags, bar staff told me they are random and very rare these days. Price of bucket varies w beer choice, but $1 off per beer sounds about right.

Does anyone know the cost of the bucket of five beers? I was on a princess ship and they were about $16

[callmewhatever]

Any1 got a pic of the bag?

[leaveitallbehind]

Don't have a picture (but still have the bag) but are available on Oasis / Allure and in that case it is a (canvas) "bag of beer" (Bud sponsored) with 8 for $35 with bag first time, $25 for refills. It's a good deal - wish it was fleet wide.

I shot this photo on the Oasis.

 

Could it be that they only sell the Beer Bags at the beginning of the Cruise like soda Cards so passengers get their money's worth?

 

Either they sell out early or RCI stops selling them early.

DH called RCL before our last cruise in April on the Explorer and was finally told this promotion is to be fleet wide. He finally got her to email the ship to make sure they would have them. She called me the next day and said they would have them the next week. They had them when we sailed. So call RCL and tell them if it is fleet wide why are they not on this ship?

Got mine mid-cruise on Oasis in May. No shortage on that one.

Sounds hopeful, we are on the FOS in two weeks and would be all over this bag if it's on the ship.

[Prepare2BeBoarded!]

Avast, me hearties!

 

If there be a shortage of bags I won't rest till I see thee hangin' from the yardarm!!!!

Let us know - I'm curious if it will be on EOS with our August sailing. (I'm planning on taking my "bag" either way.

Can you take your beer bag to Labadee?

[FLHugh]

Do they open all of the beers in the bag when they give it to you? I have had them do that with a 5 beer bucket previously

The do not open any of them - in fact there is an opener attached to the bag for your convenience. Just fill them up and hand them to you. Had them in the room during the week.

 

And to the other post, yes - it is OK to take them to Labadee - I took mine. (It was in our beach bag for convenience - but with us just the same. We had a Cabana which was nice as a retreat from the sun for a few cold ones).

Are the beers 12 or 16 oz? Can you buy a "beverage package" ahead of time? If not, what bar do you purchase this at? Do you have to return the bottles in the bag? and Do you have to bring the bag back to the same bar every time? This is my assignment from the DH today! Counting on you guys to hook me up!! :D

Two more photos that I found...

Several bars sell them and the display above was on the Promenade.

 

It is considered best to return the bottles or toss them in an appropriate container as opposed to tossing them into the pool or over the side of the ship.

[Trainman-2]

You can have the bag refilled at any bar on the pool decks as I have seen them doing it there.

 

I don't know about other bars.

 

I am not a beer expert so I have no clue on sizes of the bottles.

AWW Now come on I was planning on taking mine and using them as clays to shoot at!!!!:eek:

 

I hope they have these in August when we go I will be getting one!!

Our experience on RCL (just went through the last four cruise bills just to make sure) is there is no discount on buckets unless the ship is running a special on a particular brand that day. A bucket with five beers costs exactly five times the cost of one beer.

Typically the bottles and cans are either 350ml (~11.5 oz) or 12 oz, depending on where they're sourced from. Some (like fosters or Guiness, are larger)

Begining of May on Freedom, my son sailed on Freedom and said they were not available

Thank's for the pic of the bag, now I'm going to ask what the buckets look like...lol :eek:
