ajagent Posted July 21, 2009 #1 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Hey fellow Carnival Lovers. I was shocked on my last cruise to find that they are no longer carrying red stripe beer. Has anybody else experienced this shocker???? How do we go about letting them know to bring it back. There is nothing better than DA STRIPE while cruising the Caribbean.

WendyCn Posted July 22, 2009 #3 Share Posted July 22, 2009 DH was disappointed too when it wasn't available on our last cruise :(. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chamwa Posted July 22, 2009 #4 Share Posted July 22, 2009 What premium beers does CCL have? Bud Light & Miller light just don't qualify as good beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajagent Posted July 22, 2009 Author #5 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I think Corona is the best they have now. I have see some Sam Adams but that is a bit heavy for the sunshine!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megnolia Posted July 22, 2009 #7 Share Posted July 22, 2009 There's no beer worth drinking on board Carnival ships - stick with the fruity drinks, martinis or my new favourite - mojitos... mmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Adams is not real beer, just an attempt to mimic beer. Where are the German brews? Now, that's real beer. Dianne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler353 Posted July 22, 2009 #9 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Actually I have never seen Red Stripe on board. It's not bad beer for a hot carib day or night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakleys Posted July 22, 2009 #11 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Yep most american beer sucks, bud lime lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megnolia Posted July 22, 2009 #12 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Now, now, Oakleys - I'm still hoping to try Bud light lime! It's been sold out for months. Although I'm sure it tastes like dish soap ;) I have to try it once.... but what can I say, we Canadians are spoiled with our Sleeman's, Waterloo, Steam Whistle, Creemore, and Rickards... mmmmm Gotta go... I'm thirsty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakleys Posted July 22, 2009 #13 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Yes it seems to be sold out, see a lady ask for it the other day. You can just add lime some do it in england add a lime top to a pint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Charlie Posted July 22, 2009 #14 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Actually I have never seen Red Stripe on board. It's not bad beer for a hot carib day or night. DH & I have always enjoyed a cold Red Stripe on a hot day and have purchased it on several ships although I can't tell you which cruiselines right now. Love a cold Belikin in port in Belize a bit better.:D Or an ice cold Carib beer in about any Caribbean port or on any ship day or night. :D;):cool: Dianne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb1677 Posted July 22, 2009 #15 Share Posted July 22, 2009 All the carnival ships I have been on have had a decent selection of international beers such as Peroni, Stella Artois, Fosters, Boddingtons, Becks, Amstel Light that almost all give a little taste and go well on a hot sunny day.

dkalnas Posted July 22, 2009 #16 Share Posted July 22, 2009 They should add Yuengling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Charlie Posted July 22, 2009 #17 Share Posted July 22, 2009 They should add Yuengling I agree 100%. We live in Ohio, next door to Pa, and you would think we could get Yuengling here. Not so. We can find it in Ft. Lauderdale, however, and look forward to our stays along 17th in Ft. Lauderdale where it is available at the Marina Deli and a few other bars/restaurants along the strip.

ronrythm Posted July 22, 2009 #18 Share Posted July 22, 2009 The Beverage Mgr. on the Legend a month ago, told me they were cutting down on variety as a cost cutting measure. Worked for me. Since they didn't have Meyer's rum, it cut my Sign & Sail in half! Enjoy Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm new so I didn't know Carnival ever had Red Stripe! Now I know what I am missing! Did I read that they do have Corona at least? Anything else besides American beer? (no offense, but as Canadians, we find American beer just blah and yukky!... and I guess I'm picky, as I don't like Heineken either) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted July 22, 2009 #20 Share Posted July 22, 2009 All the carnival ships I have been on have had a decent selection of international beers such as Peroni, Stella Artois, Fosters, Boddingtons, Becks, Amstel Light that almost all give a little taste and go well on a hot sunny day. Well, maybe the Becks, or Fosters, but you can toss the Stella (the Bud of Belgium) or Boddingtons (the Keystone/Iron City of Britain) overboard without missing a beat. Now if they'd switch out the regular Sam for Sam Summer Ale you'd be cruising. But surely a Red Stripe for the Caribbean would be in demand. Point of disclosure, I'm drinking an Oscar Blues "Mama's Little Yella Pils" as I type. Not quite lawnmower/Lido deck/ beach brew but tasty and it's in a can!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly Steve Posted July 22, 2009 #22 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Red Stripe is available just about everywhere now but it tastes better on a cruise. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixgun8 Posted July 22, 2009 #23 Share Posted July 22, 2009 might be a location issue on the ship, they do not serve beer in glass bottles on the lido from what I understand. Red Stripe is only in Glass bottles, so they may have either discontinued it fleetwide, or just on the Lido? May have to go to an interior bar to get it?

Sorry but any beers normally bottled in glass are poured into a plastic glass when served on Lido deck. Have had Red Stripe in a plastic glass on Lido before.

If a ship is going to serve Becks, make sure that Becks is real German strength, otherwise it's nothing but recycled sea water. Dianne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
