Taking beer on board.

[DeeniEncinitas]

Is that the bucket of beer and is it available every day ?

Can you order it for your stateroom

cheers

 

GoodMorning!

No Guinness, but secret we learned, at happy hour at Ocean Bar we bought a bucket of beer for 1/2 off!! No joke! Our bar steward told us that, and a lot of people had buckets in the Ocean Bar!

So we would go at happy Hour on occasion to get the special price. Now we would get lite coronas. And we would take them back to our suite and go to the lido and make up Nachos and bring them back to our room!

Hope this helps

Hi Swivel Guts - curious about why you want to bring beer on board??

 

And your answer is (subliminally)...

 

OP.... nice avatar.

 

Enjoy your beer. :)

$18 corkage fee. I don't pay that much for wine. Good grief!

 

You're hilarious - thanks for a good laugh.

 

Smooth Sailing ! :) :) :)

HAL's beer offering is horrificly bad (most all lines are). That's why bring beer onboard is what I wish could be done.

Swivel Guts, my favorite wine is 12.00 at Costco! Even the 6.00 bottle takes the edge off..just like the 50-60-100 dollar bottle.

Denise, that is a really good tip about the happy hour beer buckets. Thank you!

You're being ripped off mate, $15 for 6 bottles of wine at Dan Murphy's in Oz. :cool:

Good tip on the beer bucket,

Cheers

[Swivel Guts]

Hi, sure that I read Guinness was available somewhere

cheers

 

Guinness gives me flatulence so 'the good wife' has banned it, although it would help to power me through the small toilet doorway. :D

Now you're talking, are the Nachos half price too? :rolleyes:

I like Tiger beer, but Bud light is as weak as. In Oz, 30 x 375ml cans of mid strength (3.5%) costs $40. A can in all my spare socks, 3 cans in every sleeve, 6 cans up the legs of my trousers, and no one's the wiser. I'm in heaven. :D

Costco 32 pack of bud light .70 each

Do you pay .70 when you go out to a bar?

[DaveOKC]

Some friends of mine are heavy beer drinkers. They cannot wait for HAL to run another Signature Beverage Package promotion, as they spend almost as much on beer onboard than they do on the cruise fare.

Those beverage packages are sweet! We were just on a Celebrity cruise with the bev. pkg included and we would stop at bars throughout the morning and trick or treat for the afternoon's beer for the balcony. Pop it in your fridge and Bob's your uncle!

We learned that last cruise and will certainly do it on our next one - have the steward empty our frig. and then fill it up ourselves with beer and soda from the bar using the SBP. Makes it nice when you want a cold beverage and do not want to go out to the bar.

 

This cruise we booked a cabin near the Seaview pool area - to have easy access to the bar!

You can always stay home and rent a DVD of the ocean. Huge savings.

I love this!! :):)

[wntgoislnds]

Should we buy our Signature Beverage Package on board or before we go? Lots of beer drinking. We used to bring on cases and it wasn't a problem. I'm so glad to see this serious issue addressed.:confused:

[DeeniEncinitas]

Your welcome!

We had no idea you could do that!

Our bar tender told us that.

Good one!

Denise 👍

[DavyJoneses]

My son collects beer cans so I usually try to pick up a couple of local cans at our port stops. Have never had them confiscated. Was prepared to drink them if confiscation appeared imminent. :D

Nachos are free but you have to build them yourself. They bring out the melted cheese to the Taco Bar at 2:00 PM on the Vista-class ships.

 

Here is the current HAL Bar menu that has more beers available than the "stateroom delivery" menu that I previously posted:

Of course additional beers from Juneau Brewing Company are available in Alaska.
