thefog Posted November 27, 2007 #1 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Going on Caribbean Princess at the first of the year, wondering does anyone know the price of a beer or do they sell buckets at what price. I know they sell them on Carnival ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruze610 Posted November 27, 2007 #2 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Usually its about 3.50 or so for a can of beer. If you buy a bucket of 5, the sixth is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinCoach Posted November 27, 2007 #3 Share Posted November 27, 2007 They definately sell "buckets of beer," as I was rarely without one, which might be part of the reason that I can't remember how much they were. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhawks9 Posted November 27, 2007 #4 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Just got off the emerald this morning, believe it was 5 cans (bud) for price of 4 at $18 Pre-auto tip of 15%. So add another $2.70. 12oz were $17, so if you like bud you get more for your $$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhawks9 Posted November 27, 2007 #5 Share Posted November 27, 2007 should have mentioned that the buds are 16oz aluminum bottles, dos equis are 12 oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinbuddy Posted November 28, 2007 #6 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Glad to hear that they have buckets. We like to sit out of the way on deck, so the waiters don't come around as often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packman1000 Posted November 28, 2007 #7 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Are the bottles already open when they bring them to you in the bucket? Wondering if you take a couple back to the room and have them later? And if you can, I guess that means we need to take a bottle opener - right?

thefog Posted November 28, 2007 Author #8 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Let's hope the bottles are twist off caps like there here in Canada. Hope they have Coor's Light on Caribbean Princess. Does anyone know what brand's of beer they do have? Can's or bottle:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just having fun Posted November 28, 2007 #9 Share Posted November 28, 2007 :cool: I have this thing we call a cozy it`s to keep your beer from getting warm..what I do is attach a bottle opener to it and when ordering a BUCKET OF BEER I tell them not to open any..that way I can open them at my own lesiure and they don`t go flat..you would be surprised how handy this comes in when you are on the pool in the sun..(or to keep beer from spilling):D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icemaiden Posted November 29, 2007 #12 Share Posted November 29, 2007 if you want to keep your beer cool in the sun use a bubbakeg mug, i used it in dom rep, my hubby said it was great, he didnt have to gulp his lager down before it got warm or if he forgot it for a few minutes linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toberman Posted November 29, 2007 #13 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Just back off the Crown. Bucket of beer - 5 for the price of 4 (used to be 6 for 5). Good deal, but like it's been said, get the Bud (16oz alluminum bottles). No twist-offs like in Canada, so take an opener. I would get a bucket, have them open 2 for the pool, then take the rest back to the room. Or just get a bucket for the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoSueMe Posted November 29, 2007 #14 Share Posted November 29, 2007 We were on the CB in October. DH always bought those buckets of Bud while we sat by the pool. The waitstaff was great about offering to open another bottle as needed when they would walk past. They also fetched more ice for the bucket on warm days. Funny thing, though, he never had any bottles LEFT to take back to the room. Chug...chug...chug... :p :D Enjoy! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefog Posted November 29, 2007 Author #15 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Nice to hear there are alot of beer drinkers out there on cruises. Do you think that is the number one drink on a cruise ship if not what is? THEFOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmitchell82 Posted November 30, 2007 #17 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Bucket of 5 dos equis was 19.55 on our cruise earlier this month. They do only seem to sell them on the pool bars as when I tried to get on in a few other bars in the ship, they were not available. Whatever we did not drink, we just put in the fridge in the room. If we wanted one opened on deck, we just ask one of the staff and it was not problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefog Posted November 30, 2007 Author #19 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I also would like to know price of a can or bottle of Coor's light:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSDsky Posted December 1, 2007 #20 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Now there is a brand I know! Can't help with the price but in cans for sure. Guess $3.75 + tax + automatic tip. Brought my own for cabin usage.;) PS: Thats US by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nceyeguy Posted December 1, 2007 #21 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I pre-ordered beer packages for our 11/16/07 emerald. They come 6 for 5, and room service delivers with an opener. Can't remember the exact price, but even tipping the delivery person, not bad. Slow, and had trouble getting thru to room service, but all worked out. On the other princess ships, I just gave the coupons to the room steward and they took care of filling the refrigerator. Not this time. At the bars, they are 5 for 4, go figure. No buckets in the casino, as they were always out. We started to bring our own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
