Default Bucket O'Beer

Does anybody recall how much a Bucket of Beer cost on the Epic? Is it cheaper to purchase Imported than Domestic?

prices varied on the types of beer, 6 for the price of 5 and I think it averaged about $30 a bucket

3 Guinness and 3 Blue Moon ran me $40 and change including tax and 15% gratuity.

$6.70 per beer on a cruise where I paid over $2,000 for is a travesty. needless to say, I did not purchase another bucket of beer.

For the cheaper beers, NCL has gone to the 16 oz aluminum cans, instead of the 12 oz glass bottles
