Beer Question

[sa7776]

I have had several people ask me about drink prices. I don't drink beer so I couldn't answer about it. Can someone let me know how much it is and how much a bucket of beer is. Thanks.

Alright finally a post that I can answer!!! My family and I were on the Conquest last November after Thanksgiving and I do recall that a bucket of beers (4) was $11.00 and that was about halfway through the cruise. It took us that lonf to figure out the best deal:o

Just went on Fantasy 8-24-06. A single Bud light was 4.50 with gratuity. A bucket of Bud Light was. A bucket of Bud Light, 4 bottles was about $17.00. Beers were 5.49 each on the Victory in July. A bucket for $11.00 is a good deal. Does every ship have a different price?

I hope someone could answer this question about the Victory price of Beer per bucket.:D

$5.49? That is a reqular 12 oz. beer? So there are two very conflicting posts here. Maryann has sailed most recently though. Could the prices have gone up that much? $2.75 ($11.00 bucket) a piece as opposed to $4.25 ($17.00 bucket) a piece is a big difference.

I've read on another thread that the $5.50 (ish) price is for a 16 oz. bottle, and @ $4.50 for a reg 12 oz.

We have been on 4 Carnival cruises since last September. Victory had highest beer prices. I believe all Bud or Bud Light are in 16 oz, metal bottles. They were on the Fantasy also. I think Carnival's beer prices have gone up in past year. We sailed on Inspiration in September and November, they were less than $4.00 with gratuity from what I remember.

I think another reason you're seeing discrepancies in the prices is because the buckets of beer (at least on Victory) were sometimes on "Happy Hour" and were $11. Sometimes they were not and cost more. Buckets of Coors light were $11 at times, and $14 at other times.

Yep. They have gone up since our last cruise a year ago. And this is the first year we noticed the 16 oz aluminum bottles.

We were on the Ecstasy two weeks ago and Bud light in the aluminum bottles were $4.50 each plus tax, and a bucket of 4 beers (I think any kind, in aluminum bottles) was $17.00. That was our first Carnival cruise so I can't compare to any others, but thought it was quite a bit higher than our RCI cruise last year. But have recently heard that RCI has raised their drink prices too.

Aluminium bottles?

[ParrotRob]

Aluminium bottles?

 

Yes. Aluminum bottles. They look like this:

 

 

Imagine all the weight you'll save in your checked bags thanks to this invention, eh? Now if they'll only start putting bourbon and scotch in cans...
