scotlandyard1985 Posted July 17, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Hi, Can you buy a bucket of beer in teh ocean bar or the crown nest or only at the poolbar? Is it possible to buy them during happy hour? I found a price for a bucket of Corona 5 for 22$. Is this still the price? And the second bucket is then 2$ or 5x 2$. tnx :):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nang Posted July 17, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Buckets don't get the happy hour pricing, its single drinks whether cocktails or beers. Can't remember the price for buckets exactly, but I recall paying $25 or $26 for international beers last Sept. Local beers are a bit cheaper so $22 is likely close to the mark. I've only ever bought buckets at the pool bars but believe they can be purchased at other bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nang Posted July 18, 2017 #7 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) i have bought buckets of beer at the happy hour price. i have not been on the kdam but all the other ships have had it as of nov.2016 Really??? You can get 5 beers for $2? I thought it was one drink +one only. Looking forward to our next cruise (on the Kdam) even more. How many HAL ships have you been on since Nov 2016?

My memory has failed again it seems and it is not "local"vs "international" beers but the size of the bottle/can that sets the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeniEncinitas Posted July 18, 2017 #9 Share Posted July 18, 2017 FYI, I agree in the past we paid $22.00-$26.00 for the bucket of beers on our cruises. Last September on our Med cruise we had the explorer 4 package so never checked the bucket price. Was doing check in online with our next cruise and there bucket of beers were $40.00 to order on line. We have all the perks again so did not check any further. The beer that was shown was Budweiser!

SouthHillSteve Posted July 18, 2017 #10 Share Posted July 18, 2017 On the Veendam last week a bucket of Budweisers was 5 for the price of 4 - - just under 29 bucks. This was at the pool bar. I imagine it will be the same on the K. Have a great cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeniEncinitas Posted July 19, 2017 #12 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Sorry guys I have been trying to send the photo of the bucket of beer Budweiser for $40.00. It is a six pack. Maybe for our cruise in March 2018 prices are going up! Sorry I could. It deliver pic! Too frustrating on my IPhone! Denise :) a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I got the bucket of beer they took off only the amount of caps I asked them to. I drank a couple then took the rest unopened (in the bucket with ice) back to my cabin. ~Nancy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always pack a small bottle opener in my luggage for opening bottles while I'm in the cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, on our Med cruise on the Oosterdam, we purchased a bucket of five coronas during happy hour and received a second bucket for $10 (5 beers * $2/beer) plus 15% gratuity. They were also kind enough to ask how many tops we wanted to remove. Our cabin had a wine bottle opener, which included a bottle opener. We loved HAL happy hour!!! And we got great service! Enjoy!

Exactly the same our experience several weeks ago on the Nieuw Amsterdam happy hours and we were able to mix and match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
