NON Alcoholic Ginger Beer?

[thegoodlife247]

I am pretty sure Carnival carries non-alcoholic ginger beer to make moscow mules and dark and stormy's. My question is can I get a can of non-alcoholic ginger beer and it NOT count towards my 15 drink limit for cheers? If not, I will try to bring on a few cans of it.

ginger beer IS non alcoholic

I do know they have the Ginger beer and it is non-alcoholic, but do not know if you can just get a can or not. Never asked for one. They have a very good rum and ginger beer drink they make.

of course you can order a can, tastes better with rum

[thegoodlife247]

Of course there will be some rum added from my stateroom order. To clarify a previous post, there is alcoholic and non alcoholic ginger beers but the non alcoholic is usually used as a drink mixer.

This might be a dumb question, but what's the difference between non alcoholic ginger beer and ginger ale? I always assumed ginger beer was alcoholic and ginger ale was not.

The big difference between ginger beer and ginger ale is that ginger beer is brewed (fermented) but ginger ale is just carbonated water that's been flavored with ginger.

Ginger beer is a fermented beverage. It's way less sweet and has a much stronger ginger flavor than ginger ale which is basically a ginger flavored soda.

I was able to order Gosling's ginger beer (non-alcoholic) on the Valor. This was at the aft pool bar. I found they didn't have it at all the bars.

I was able to get it at the bar by the pool on our last cruise. Had the bubbles program not cheers. Was charged for the can and server was not real happy with the order. Had the same bartender a few times and seemed to see it as an imposition. Nonethelesss, I was able t get it!

There is also a Dark & Stormy milkshake available at the Shake Spot on the Sunshine and Vista that adds vanilla ice cream to the gosling's rum and ginger beer.

The Vista had Q brand ginger beer last week which is a much higher end product than the gosling stuff. I highly recommend it!

Just to add a bit more info on ginger beer, the alcoholic version, usually brewed by home brewers, simply uses more sugar. Sugar is fermented into alcohol. Non-alcoholic ginger beer contains less than 0.5% alcohol because it is brewed with less sugar.

Why would you be charged for a non alcoholic drink when you had the bubbles program?

The bubbles program covers soda and juice. It does not cover other non alcoholic items such as bottled water, espresso based coffee drinks, milk shakes, smoothies, and energy drinks. Ginger beer is not really soda, so it's sort of a gray issue if it's covered or not. Bloody Mary mix is a mixture that is an enhanced juice, so I assume that ginger beer would be considered a similar type item that is really a mixer but should be covered. YMMV, but I assume that you could probably get it at most bars that serve it if you have the bubbles program.

I ordered Ginger Beer constantly with my cheers. You cannot get it with BB though. My daughter tried. It doesn't count towards 15.
