mostly_harmless Posted March 8, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I have seen about six different threads about the beer bags on board the Royal Caribbean ships. Each one seems to contradict the other ones. Does anyone have an updated status on the beer bag (think beer bucket, only baggier) on ask ships? Possibly on the Allure? Thank you.

tanstaafl_2001 Posted March 8, 2012 #2 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I would love to know if the Jewel has the beer cooler special. The last cruise we were on that had them was the Grandeur in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And definitive you still will not get. Some ships have them and some don't. And even those that do, don't always offer them due to stock, holds in the promotion, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaroleSS Posted March 8, 2012 #5 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I actually CALLED RCCL about this yesterday. The Rep I talked with had no clue what I was talking about. She kept saying "we offer a wine package, but I'm not seeing anything about a beer package". I said it wasn't something that could be pre-purchased, but alas she had no idea. I also had the audacity to ask about the BOGO sticker. Again, no clue. She just kept saying "get on the ship and ask around". While I can understand not wanting to post the items of Quest on their website, I don't see why it is so difficult to know what each ship offers it's cruisers! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longwood Posted March 8, 2012 #6 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I just got off the Allure of the Seas (2/26/12 sailing) and can definitely confirm that they do have the beer bag deal. To receive your free bag, you simply purchase 8 beers at the normal price. We went with bud lights at 5.25/beer+15% service change. Bring the bag back and get 8 beers for the price of 7. You can refill your bag at any bar venue on the ship as well as Labadee. Our cabin attendent kept the ice filled in the bag whenever we left it in our room. I read in a different thread that you could still buy buckets of beer with getting 6 for the price of 5, which would be a better deal. However, at least on the Allure, they no longer sell buckets.

Bead Pirate Posted March 8, 2012 #8 Share Posted March 8, 2012 ... I have 6 of them in the closet :) they make great gifts for your beer drinking friends with thier own built in bottle openers. Perfect to take to the pool or hot tub... Jewel does not have them (been on twice this year and no beer bags) Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcruisergal Posted March 8, 2012 #9 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Navigator did NOT have them on 2/26 sailing, we asked. BUMMER!!!!! I really want one of those...although the beer buckets did just fine for around the pool, no discounts though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regg1216 Posted March 8, 2012 #10 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I emailed RCCL about this and was told it varies from ship to what sailing. Everyone needs to contact them and tell them they need to consistent across the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Cruiser 13 Posted March 9, 2012 #11 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Does anyone know if they offer the beer bags on the Explorer? Going on April 26th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUIS4ME Posted March 9, 2012 #12 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Longwood is correct - Just off the Allure and there was no shortage of beer coolers - all week they were available for purchase and refill.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth C Posted March 9, 2012 #14 Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) It's not a beer bag... It's a beer purse! And they looked at me like I was crazy on Liberty with it in January/February! Hopefully it'll be filled many times on Oasis next month ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited March 9, 2012 by Beth C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Familygoboston Posted March 9, 2012 #17 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Anyone know if Freedom has them? Do you just get them from any bar?:confused: Usually pool bar is your best bet...have to wait till day 2 to get a new one also. But I think they will fill an exsisting one any time!

RBKL Posted March 9, 2012 #18 Share Posted March 9, 2012 On the Allure they sold them on the last day at sea outside the pub. Just the bags - without the beer. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimkatmom Posted March 9, 2012 #19 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Going on Explorer on May 24th. Im hoping they have the beer bag so I can get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfig63 Posted March 9, 2012 #20 Share Posted March 9, 2012 On Allure, I ordered mine from the deck waiters. You have a choice of U.S domestic 16 oz Alum bottles or imports in 12 oz glass. 8 Coronna's $38 ish + fees. The 16 oz bottles were $45 ish. They gave me a cup of limes for my Coronna's as well.

pltag Posted March 9, 2012 #21 Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) The definitive Beer Bag Response: What part of "Hit & Miss" do you not understand??? :D :D So for every question asking " Sailing on the ______ of the Seas next week. Can anyone who just sailed tell me if they had the Beer Bag?" As far as your cruise is concerned, it makes NO difference if they had the bag or not! So, here are specific directions: 1) Board Ship 2) Go to Pool Bar 3) Ask about Beer Bag, if answer is "No" skip to #5 4) If "Yes", fill bag enjoy, repeat 5) If "No", buy bucket, pay regular per beer price, enjoy, repeat! My work here is done!!! :) :) Edited March 9, 2012 by pltag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanstaafl_2001 Posted March 9, 2012 #22 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Thanks for the information even though it wasn't the answer I was hoping for :( Jewel does not have them (been on twice this year and no beer bags) Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave85 Posted March 9, 2012 #24 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Humble suggestion: people who come back from cruises (or have sailed recently) who know whether their ship had the beer bag special should post whether their ship had it... otherwise, hah, we just end up with "I'm going on _____ ship, do they have it???" 500 times as someone above me noted lol. Perhaps we can even start a list! I was on Oasis in November and they had it. So far we've established: HAS THEM -Oasis -Allure DOESN'T -Jewel -Navigator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
