Beer Cooler on Oasis

[Lyndsay]

Hi guys,

 

I've done a search and some reading on this topic, but have a few questions.

 

I can't seem to find any information about it on RCI's website, so I wonder if this is a hit or miss thing?

 

If it were to be available, where can it be purchased? I understand there have been some issues with running out and I definitely don't want that to be a problem! So I'd like to get it first thing upon embarking.

 

Are refills done at any bar?

 

Thanks!

have seen it on majesty. Pool waiters carry it on their shoulders to sell it or you can buy it at the bar. First 8 beers are normal prices, but then refills are less. Bud products. Cooler is not huge, but holds the 8 beers fine.

They had it on the Allure last week, first day only. Then they ran out. Even without the cooler they were selling beers by the pool,, pay for 5 and get 6.

The elusive cooler seems to be hit or miss depending on the ship and sailing.

EVERYONE had them on Oasis a couple of weeks ago, it was astonishing. Everyone was walking around with one around their shoulder!

 

I hate Bud products but if you're a beer drinker its a good deal... I just wish I could have gotten something other than Bud products.

Some rules seem to change now and then, like availability and program. It's been on all my recent RCI cruises and on my Allure cruise in April, it wasn't just Bud products. I know, because they allowed us to fill ours with Newcastle.

 

Yes, you can refill at any bar.

 

Here's a pic I took on Oasis in 2009. It even comes with a bottle opener:

Had one three weeks ago on OASIS, I had other than Bud products in it. It was eight beers for $39 including tip. The refills were $29 including tip!

Hoping to find this on Oasis Dec 10th. We prefer Coors Light! And a few heavier brews, too.

Jealous!!! We tried several times to get other products and we were turned down every time.

Where do you get them? From any of the pool bars? We are going on the Oasis on the March 24 sailing and this would be nice to pick up.

I have a funny feeling they will either be very plentiful or completely scarce when I go on March 25, 2012! (spring break for many):o

I was on the ALLURE in June/July 2011 and we only filled our cooler with Stella. (3 times!) They were happy to do so because the beer cost more and that means a LARGER TIP!

has anyone see the beer cooler with smiroff ice in it. Can you get this instead of beer and if not does anyone know the price of a bottle so I can purchase it and put in cooler.

Do they have them on the Explorer?

We bought one on Oasis in October and it was NOT on sale the first day (I asked at pool bar) - he told me (and was correct) that it would be for sale after the first day around the pool deck. I didn't realize Michelob Ultra was a Bud product so that's what we ordered after asking about different brands and being told "no"

Hoping they have it on Navigator 12/10. DH would be in heaven!

You and my DH, the only thing worse is light beer,in his opinion.:eek:

We just returned from Explorer on 11/20 and the beer coolers weren't available.

Darn. Thanks Kewlguy. They would make great gifts.

We got it last week on the Oasis. Got it Sunday night watching the football game. We could only get Bud, Bud Light or Michelob Ultra.

 

When I would carry it out to our seats by the pool, the bar servers would swarm me. I thought it was hilarious to see how many of them would intercept me on my way to my chair. I guess it's an easy $4 for them.

Hope they have these coolers on the Liberty when we sail 3/03/12.

 

Sounds like a good deal to us...We usually buy the buckets of beer.

We were on Allure last week and we could get any type beer we wanted in them. You pay for 7 and get 8. We usually got 5 miller lite and 3 mich ultra, so on the Allure it is not strictly bud products.

We got ours on the Oasis last week. Available at the pool bars. No rush...they had them available practically the whole week. THey were supposed to be ONLY Bud products for something like $25-28 refill but...they really didn't care. They'd happily sell you at regular price whatever you wanted and you could stuff them in your cooler. That was OK because it was nice to have the cooler sitting by you when your either at the hot tub or pool. Staved off the temptation for all those expensive drinks.

Has anybody had them on the Radiance lately? I am hoping they have them on our cruise from December 18.
