Price of Buckets of Beer??


CSIMelissa

Recommended Posts

I don't drink beer at all (I prefer wine!), but my brother is going on his first cruise and has asked me about the prices of the buckets of beer on the CCL ships and how many are in them? Are there different sizes?

 

He's not a big drinker but he's wondering if it would be cheaper to do it that way and share it with our father that is going with him.

 

I have no idea what ot tell him so I thought I would ask here!

If I remember correctly they are about $22. That is for either 4 or 6. IT works out that you save about the cost of one single beer. You do not have to drink them all at the same time and can take the bucket back to the cabin if you don't finish.

Depending on the brand some are 16oz bottles and some are 12 oz cans. The aluminum 16 oz bottles are not twist off so it is handy to carry a small opener. The ice melts quickly but they will give you more ice. :)

Just an FYI- Not all Carnival ships sell buckets of beer. On the Triumph last year they did NOT sell buckets of beer. Not sure what other ships don't sell them, but I'm sure someone will know. But on the Paradise, Pride & Victory I was able to get them. Of course this may have changed since my cruises. Hope your brother has a wonderful cruise!

That's odd........every ship on every cruiseline that I have sailed had buckets.......
