Carnival Beer Chart

There is also the option of preordering your beer from Bon Voyage. The price is per item, but no 15% added on. Four 16 oz. Bud Lights;

4 * $5.75=$23.00.

 

The down side is, Bon Voyage does not carry all of the beers served on board (no Landshark) and it's delivered warm to your cabin. BUT, bring a small soft sided collapsible cooler and your room steward will keep it filled with ice. And, any bartender will give you a bucket with ice, if you ask.

 

 

 

U will be charged sales tax though.

I have NEVER been charged sales tax on my Bon Voyage purchases.

[PimpTastic]

Bon Voyage: $5.75 * 4 = $23.00

Bucket: $5.75 * 4 = $23.00 - $2.00 = $21.00 + 15% = $24.15

Interesting. I'm not sure then, I was only going on what a lot of other posters have said. I have never ordered from BV. I plan on it though for upcoming April cruise.

[PlanoTim]

Yes, you can get up to 4 brands of beer in a bucket (one each), but the prices will vary due to brand.

 

Excellent :D Thanks!

It's not worth it........

They should do as Princess does......you can order 6 beers for $23.25.

Trying to figure out the best (cheapest) way to enjoy some cold ones whilst sailing the sea I came up with this chart in Excel. It shows prices with and without gratuities, bucket prices, and what I consider to be the best bang for your buck deals.

 

I've found that buying a bucket of (4) 12oz Budweiser/Bud Light cans plus 1 extra 12oz can be a better deal than the (4) 16oz Bud/Bud Light bucket. By buying a bucket of the 12oz and an extra single can equals 60oz for $20.88 versus 64oz and $24.71 for the (4) 16oz bucket. Anyway take a look at my chart :D

 

 

This is the best thing I’ve ever seen on this site.

 

Now just add price per ounce and the alcohol content of each and we'll have something to build on.

 

I always go for Fosters @ 0.27¢ / ounce. Plus it comes in at 5.1% alcohol which is one of the highest outside of Guiness for the price.

How would it work if you get a bucket of bear via the bar coupons. I am assuming it would take 4 coupons to get a bucket, but do you still have to pay the gratuity?

To drink a beer. I'm thirsty just reading these posts! ;)

[Ashala]

This is simply amazing! I love it. Thanks for the price breakdown.

You are my Hero!!!!!!!!!!

[victoryred]

My head hurts and I've only had one beer tonight.

 

Bud light lime was $6.25 plus 15% on the Spirit.....

[FNJ]

Affordability is the not issue for me....it's about being ripped off the least way possible

 

I can understand that !

WOW I salute you Great Job and great info too! :D

[Ironhorseafire]

Great thread! I have never purchased a bucket of beer so I don't know how it is served. When the bartender presents you with your bucket of favorite brew are the four containers opened at the time of serving or are thay left unopened? If the containers are all open, at my rate of consumption I would have to get used to drining flat beer or enlist a few shipmates to help. Probably no short of volunteers for that duty.

It's your choice.......all open or not.....they will always be around to open them......or bring your own opener like us:D

[CaraKeet]

Now excuse me if someone has already asked this, but did you also break it down based on the alcohol content percentage??? Or is that going too far? lol

This is good...but when I am ON the cruise...last thing I worry about is what my drinks are going to cost....figure I will worry about that when the S&S bill comes due.

[Smithinc49]

The key is, just drink fosters. However, can they sell you a bucket of Fosters? That's 100 ounces!!!

[ilovetexas]

I looked at it, downloaded it, and am putting it in my cruise folder. Thanks!:)
