CruiseVA Posted September 17, 2018 #76 Share Posted September 17, 2018 That's a very valid point. Have you ever expressed your request to customerrelations@princess.com ? Many times, and, on the comments for every cruise for years now... I'd like to think that they're finally listening, but, I know better. It's all about the bottom line...

CruiseVA Posted September 17, 2018 #77 Share Posted September 17, 2018 They will confiscate your beer after they see it on the scanner. It will be disposed of.....Bob One would think so, but, I've been doing this for years, and, I've never been called to the naughty room, and, all my beer arrives intact. I do split it between our 2 suitcases. Just did it this past spring on the Regal. That is a risk I'm willing to take, until they provide drinkable beer. One time I got off the ship with a friend and his roll-aboard, we walked to SafeWay (in San Francisco), he filled it up with beer, and, walked it on thru security - they didn't blink an eye when they x=rayed it. That was quite awhile ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about the bottom line...I'm a wine drinker, but it seems only fair that if I can bring one bottle of wine onboard, you and others should be allowed to bring on a six pack, same equivalent in my mind.

Astro Flyer Posted September 17, 2018 #82 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Has Alaska Amber Ale always been available on Alaskan cruises? I tried it and liked it well enough. It was available on my Alaska cruise about a decade ago. Kona Longboard lager was available on a Hawaii cruise & Paulaner lager on a transatlantic during Oktoberfest. So they sometimes will have regional beers on cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mexicobob Posted September 17, 2018 #84 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I for one will welcome a better beer selection being offered. The beer they now sell ranges from swill to slightly drinkable. I am a lover of hoppy beer so bring on the more serious IPAs. The wine selection in Vines is decent but could be better and the selection of bourbon is basic at best. Hopefully they will add some decent drinkable bourbons to the list. As for the new foo foo drinks, I will pass. I gave up kool-ade decades ago. At the end of the article it mentions 5 new ships on order between now and 2025. The first three will be royal class ships with the Sky being the first to be delivered in October 2019. The real new news are the two new class ships to join the fleet in 2023 and 2025 that will hold 4300. Those ships will be LNG ships. I am not too crazy about megaships and certainly not the gargantuan of the seas currently afloat now. It is time to retire the grand class ships. On the Golden Princess this past June to Alaska in the whisky bar they offered some outstanding bourbon. Good selection of some high priced bourbon.

Good selection of some high priced bourbon. The ships with the Salty Dog Gastropub have an outstanding selection of whiskies and whiskeys. You can get a very nice flight....

That was quite awhile ago. It depends on the port with Princess so it seems. We boarded in PE last year and DW had forgot and left a bottle of wine in her checked luggage. When it finally arrived in our cabin, the bag had been opened. The bottle of wine however was still in there. At least she did not have to go to the "naughty room". Two years ago we were on a Caribbean cruise and the last port was Aruba. Returning to the ship after an excursion, I stayed and checked out the duty free store out of curiosity. I noticed they had a special on my favorite gin and decided to buy one which I almost never do. I expected to have to turn it in when I boarded the ship but there was no liquor table and the crew member running the scanner did not say a word. I took up to my cabin but did not open it of course since I was taking it home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PensFan1028 Posted December 19, 2018 #96 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Was on the Royal last week. Only new beers were Goose Island Sofie and Gulden Draak 9000. Sofie is the only beer on board with any hop profile at all... and I did enjoy probably 10 - 12 of them throughout the week at $8 each. This is a bottle conditioned Belgian Saison... not bad but still not what most would be looking for. The first few days it took the bartenders a minute to figure out they even had the beer or how to ring it into the register... not a good sign (am I really the only one drinking this on a ship of 3500?) Also tried the Draak, not really a fan of this type of beer with the sweet malty forward to cover the alcohol. It was ok but I wouldn't buy it again.
