beer buckets

[lkh4650]

I'm leaving on the Glory on Saturday and I have a really simple question..... Are the buckets of beer served by the pool all canned beer (even corona)? I'd like to bring some coozies.

 

Also, does carnival have a wine club at dinner? I have been on a couple cruiselines (ncl in particular) that had a deal where the fifth bottle was free.

 

PS.... to laura, i don't want to hear it...lol.

When we were on the Glory in November, 16oz plastic bottles was what we ordered (LITE). They still fit inside a can coolie nice, save on packing and get one in the gift shop for 2.99 - a cheap and functional souvenier :p

Finally a thread I can relate to. Buckets of beer, yeah baby. When we were on the Liberty, I'm sure it's CCL wide, Bud & bud lite are in 16 oz. aluminum bottles, Miller lite is in plastic and Corona are in glass. So, what they do for the Corona is pour them in funny looking plastic bottles with a wedge of lime in each. Now with the others, you can have them only pop one or two at a time, this way you can take the extras back to your room. Make sure you go to the gift shop and get a bottle opener, they're not twist off.

All true. ;)

 

Also, if you are doing Bud or Bud Light, bring a coozy that fits bottles (wine cooler/beer bottle) and not a can coozy. That bottles just fall out.

Bring a soft sided cooler for your beer it keeps them colder .

Oops. Forgot to add a picture of the bucket in question.

There was another Picture posted where they served the 4 beers in the bucket but they all were in Cups.

 

I posted the Beer in the Bucket Special in my Live from the Spirit Thread, I think they were like 13.95 and 16.95 for the other types.

Or, if you have beer left over, or beer in your room that you want to chill, take the bucket back to your room. Refill it with ice at the buffet restaurant on your way and you don't need a cooler. I always bring a big cooler with me but leaving it at home this time.

My son in law tells me Coors isn't really beer, but do they have buckets of Coors?

[mh1973]

do they have coors light?

I found that a nice soft side cooler worked better with the taller bottles....especially out on deck. The buckets are too short for the new 16 ouncers, so the top 1/3 of the bottle is exposed, making for warm beer. Yuck. Left the cooler out on the table in the cabin in the AM with any left overs from the night before inside, and by lunch I would be greated with a cooler full of fresh ice and cold beer. Our cabin steward knew how to treat us right. ;) :D

they've had coors light on all of our cruises. not sure about coors. maybe try doing a search for the cocktail menu. :)

[KruznKel]

do they have coors light?

 

Yes they do in cans..cost $15.53 (gratuity incl) I did the samething would bring the bucket back to the room.. any leftovers were nice and chilled the following day by lunchtime:D

In my opinion it's not:D Coor light that is LOL!

LOL well the Coors or any beer brewed in Canada.. is REAL beer..:p the stuff on the ship is just flavoured water:)

[LADYLION08]

just wondering how much buckets of beer cost.

[Team M&M]

so to clarify, for under $16, I get a bucket of beer? This includes gratuities?

That sounds like a pretty good deal to me... what kinds of beer other than coors do they serve?

[cascole]

I've had Amstel Light & Heinekin beer buckets... they're a bit more then the domestics (Bud, Bud Light, Coors light), though. (I can't recall exactly how much more.)

[Team M&M]

seems to me drink tix are 4 for $20 and are only good for beer... what is the savings in the drink tix?

Or are the drink tix good for other things too?

[mikebarnett]

Corona's in a bucket.

Make sure you go to the gift shop and get a bottle opener, they're not twist off.

 

If you are taking them back to your room, there is a bottle opener on the bathroom wall.

Actually, its all swill unless you brew it yourself. God bless 13% ABV!! I'll take down 12 Buds or Millers, or whatever, but 3 or 4 of those and I cant stand up. Best is the price, ~$50 on ingredients for about 4 cases of beer where you would have to spend over $100 for the same amount of alcohol. Course....the Bud light route is easier...

I just left the bottles in my cabin and the room steward put them on ice for me, with my wine.

...I'd like to bring some coozies.

 

 

you can get some in the gift shop w/ the ship's name on it. good souvenier if you have a boat or pool or both at home.

 

as others have said, some are plastic, others aluminum, depending on what you order.

I agree. Bringing homebrew along seems to me to be the answer (I think I'll bring a growler or two of Hefe along). But even if you don't, it seems the food and bev purchasers for the line should bring in at least some craft brews. I wouldn't expect anything too over the top, but some from New Belgium or Dogfish would we appropriate.
