B55 Posted July 5, 2012 #1 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Can anyone who has sailed on the Riviera recall which brands of beer are available on board. My husband is partial mainly to European beers but not Heineken. I know that there is this one and the American Budweiser sold on board but there does not seem to be a report of any other types of beer available. Nor does the wine list on the Oceania web site include a list of beverages other than wine. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank You, B55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondorner Posted July 5, 2012 #2 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I don't have a list of beers, but Betsy is partial to the Grolsch Swing Top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimandStan Posted July 5, 2012 #3 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I've posted this before, but the list covers Budweiser, Bud Light, Bud Select, Miller Light, O'Doul's Non Alcoholic, Amstel Light, Corona, Heineken and the aforementioned Grolsch. Some of the bars, the pool bar being one, also have Heineken and Amstel Light on tap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy The Wanderer Posted July 5, 2012 #4 Share Posted July 5, 2012 So Amstel, Grolsch and Heineken are the only European beers normally aboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mura Posted July 5, 2012 #5 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I could have sworn I've seen Becks on the list of available beers ... I've never ordered it on board so maybe I'm wrong, but if I were to have a beer -- that is what I probably would order. Mura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank You, B55 And if your preferred beer is not available, would you cancel the cruise? Just wondering.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook1 Posted July 5, 2012 #7 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Beer, food, marriage, all choices we can make in life. The beer selection I saw on Reagtta at the pool bar was sub par for me but perfect for many. If I must choose a ship for this one aspect of the experience I guess I go Princess as they have Bass ale. And last I saw with tip it was less than $5 a bottle. Will I only sail Princess for the Bass...of course not. If it is that important to me I can take my Bass aboard Ocerania and enjoy it on my veranda and toast Capt. Cook as it was first brewed in 1799 (memory here) the same year Cook happened on Christmas Island. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy The Wanderer Posted July 5, 2012 #8 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I guess we'll just bring some beer onboard. Although Beck's, Heineken or Grolsch are all good beers. Maybe just a few to enjoy on our balcony. Not a huge deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondorner Posted July 5, 2012 #9 Share Posted July 5, 2012 ...I can take my Bass aboard Ocerania and enjoy it on my veranda... One of our favorite ways to spend a little time in port and get to know the local culture is to visit a supermarket or mercado or whatever, look over their various grocery brands, and buy a local beer. Then, back on the ship, Betsy will get a slice or two of pizza at the Terrace and carry it back to our cabin to enjoy on the balcony with the beer. We have simple tastes, and this is pretty near heaven ;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdnycruiser Posted July 5, 2012 #10 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Last nov on insignia they had Sierra Nevada which was nice. I guess somehow I'll have to get through not having it on the Riviera TA in Nov. Oh how tough life can be! However will I survive ! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B55 Posted July 6, 2012 Author #12 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Would I cancel the cruise if my beer(s) of choice were not available? No. Just Curious. Also loading up on the info via the rush of excitement that ensues as I am counting down sleeps to our departure date. However my husband does like European Beers and as many choices as he can sample in a single sitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
