BOGO beer caps

[jimdod]

When we were on the Star earlier this year at the happy hour the would not leave caps on a beer so I could take it back to the room. the head waiter in charge of the wheelhouse said it was a new policy. Anyone else experienced this? we are sailing soon on the Emerald.

I have not experienced this, but the Grolsch beer bottle comes with it's own reusable cap. ;)

Depends on familiarity with the bartender. We did not have problem in requesting for unopened bottles.

Interesting, thanks

A couple Domestic beers come in metal "bottles" with screw caps.

Lots of help IF they force me to have the caps off. The caps pointed to by partybarbie are pretty cool.

But I'm still looking to see if the practice of removing all the caps has become fleet wide.

Happened to me last year onthe Regal. They said all beers had to be opened at the time of purchase. I was crestfallen.

Was on the Grand last week. Bought a buy one, get one for $1 and had both caps left on in the Wheelhouse, at the evening One5 happy hour bought 2, left the cap on one.

That might be a little overkill for BOGO.

I've never experienced the new, 'open beer' BOGO policy, but it's one more reason to drink Grolsch. Not only is it good beer, it's the most expensive beer... so the best value for your $1 (and you can cap it immediately with the metal & rubber 'swing top') .

Was on the Crown in October and didn't have a problem, even when I bought 4 at a time.

We take a champagne clip on stopper with us and once our carry one champagne has been drunk, they have proved useful for sealing opened beer bottles. Must remember to take a couple of stoppers with me this year.

It's like 'opposite land'... you could get busted for walking around with a 'closed bottle'. ;p

Buy 'Grolsch' which has a resealable stopper.

This works until the ship runs out of Grolsch like on our most recent cruise. I suspect it was because of this policy.

Here’s the solution for my husband since he always drinks the same domestic screw top beer can, I’ll just make sure he brings a baggie of extra caps to carry around. He’ll cap that extra one right after they hand it to him. Not a beer drinker myself, but I think it’ll work.

Now, this is good comedy.

I knew that would get a reaction from somebody. ;)

Just off the Ruby.....had no problem getting six bottles of Bass beers at the BOGO event in the Wheelhouse, all of them capped. Only tricky thing was getting them back to the cabin without a bucket!

[voljeep]

Is there any difference if you are 'buying 3/6 beers at a time'

 

versus

 

buying the PBP , and only being able to get one beer at time?

 

You've most certainly paid for them either way

 

and I've never had a problem getting a capped beer before when it was the AIBP - but now I guess the rules have changed? And we all know about Princess "rules"

Just got off 28 days on Emerald Princess. We had the beverage package so didn't participate in Happy Hour but were in Wheelhouse many times while it was going on. I saw all beers opened. Someone was picking up 6 at the bar and they opened all of them.

 

We purchased beer at time other than happy hour and were able to get unopened beers for our room. We also picked up any number of small bottles of champagne for the room. :) Of course most of the bartenders knew me after the first couple of days. A number of bartenders knew my card number without asking. Wheelhouse knew it by day 2... :eek:

No issues on the Caribbean in October, because they did not offer the BOGO for $1 at anytime on our 14 day cruise.

Tried to use these a couple of times just for these occasions.

 

They tend to pop off due to the carbonation I think. If they we're placed in a regular fridge and not a "moving" one they'd probably work better.

That's what I'm afraid of.
