A few beers on the NCL Gem

[Drteeth]

I'm sailing on the Gem in October, and I do not have a beverage package. I'm not a big drinker, but I like to have a beer or two in the evening. Does NCL still do beer buckets? Is there a particular bar(s) where they are sold? I can find discussion about them from 4 years ago, but nothing recent. I appreciate your help, thanks!

Here are their beer offerings and prices (From the NCL Gem - O'Sheehan's September 2019)

I sailed the Gem on Sept 23rd.  I did not see any beer buckets anywhere (and we were all over the ship!).  Interestingly enough, I DID see some people with 6 packs of beer (how do I explain this?  Like the cardboard one you would grab from the liquor store?) in the Bali Hai bar area.  I was intrigued, but had the drink package, and never asked.

norm1909: The current menu is of great interest to me, Thank you! 

 

saretaj: I'll keep my eyes peeled for the 6 packs of beer and investigate Bali Hai bar. Thanks for the tip!

The prices for drinks in April on the Gem were ridiculously high. First time no drink package since it has been offered. Drank very minimally on that cruise.

I was on the Jade Oct 2018 & one sea day I had a group sitting next to me by the pool & they had 2 buckets of beer.  They had the drink pkg but they said they would rather pay then wait for drinks.

Actually I never had to wait  that long for a waiter to bring me a drink by the pool

hladygirl: The drinks are certainly expensive.

 

JoeTec: That's interesting information, thanks. 🙂
