kopiko Posted June 5, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I've seen a million questions about UBP, but not this one: using our UBP, can DW and I go to Topsiders (or any other bar onboard) and ask for a couple of unopened beers so we can take back to the room and enjoy later??

You can ask, they’ll probably say no. I had a bartender who would do this, but I tipped him well the entire cruise.

zqvol Posted June 5, 2018 #8 Share Posted June 5, 2018 The bar tenders are not supposed to give you unopened beers, but sometimes they will. All you can do is ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlChilders Posted June 5, 2018 #9 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I tipped the bartenders a buck for most orders. Never had a problem getting unopened beers to take back to the cabin on either Getaway or Escape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BostonGal35 Posted June 5, 2018 #11 Share Posted June 5, 2018 last cruise we were able to do this. but we had a suite so i dont know if that made them decide differently than tehy may have for someone else. we do also tip extra as well.

TardisDance Posted June 5, 2018 #12 Share Posted June 5, 2018 If you get the larger size budlights in those aluminium bottles with the twist off caps, they will open them but leave the cap so you can close it.

Guest phd1003 Posted June 6, 2018 #18 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Really?? Why?? Unless it has the knife blade type cork screw.We got one while on Vacation in the Pocono Mtns. And wife never took it out of her Bag...Going thru security in Boston they kept rescreening her bag and asked if there were any weapons. She said not that she knew of and gave them consent to search. That is what they targeted. Simple corkscrew/bottle opener - no knife or cutting surface. The year before that she got busted with a small pair of scissors.

KarlChilders Posted June 7, 2018 #20 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Yes Chicago security took my little simple corkscrew also as I forgot it in my bag :) And yet, I flew out of Atlanta to Denver recently, and discovered my Leatherman in the bottom of my briefcase when I got there. Mailed it home, as I didn't want to chance it sliding thru again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adjensen Posted June 7, 2018 #21 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Or bottles of Grolsch, if you like it, with swing top stoppers. They had these on the Epic but it was a couple of years ago. They had Grolsch on the Escape last February, but didn't have it on the Sun last month. Maybe it's ship size, maybe it's the port, maybe it's just hit or miss.
