Hard Cider on board

On our HA cruise last year there was plenty of beer, but no hard cider available for purchase. Does anyone know if that has been added on the ships? It’s becoming more popular, so wondered why it wasn’t available last year!

I find that the availability of cider varies based on the ship. I prefer Strongbow, which is sometimes available. I've also had Angry Orchard. I think the availability depends on sourcing. Good luck.

Seems I recall DH ordering hard cider on the Rotterdam Voyage of the Vikings - it was a British label -very good. Hard Cider and craft hard cider is showing up more an more in the US now - Atascadero California now has an Annual Cider Fest and Pig Roast - very popular, show cases lots of local cider brewers. http://www.centralcoastciderfestival.com

I wonder if a cruise ship can come into Avila Pier in the San Luis Bay, south San Luis Obispo - used to handle oil tankers off that pier so who knows. http://www.marine.calpoly.edu/history-pier

 

Wouldn't that be a treat - there are so many sleeper delights in this Central Coast area of California, particularly with the growth of the wine vineyards and the interesting restaurants that soon followed. It is still rural California, small towns, a real get away. Some gorgeous country and now ...hard cider. All those apple farms in See Canyon I guess put to new use.

Last May on Veendam I had Rekorderlig cider. I hate beer and love cider, but I'd never heard of that one. I believe I had the strawberry-lime flavor and it was really good. Had it every night with dinner.
