Golfgrl1911 Posted February 11, 2005 #63 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Gang, Don't forget about the all you can drink Pina Coladas ($11.95 I think) on BBQ night. The most delicious I've ever had, served in a hollowed out pineapple! I am typically a beer drinker and had pre-ordered the 6 pack of Coronas for our cabin along with a bottle of "sail away" champagne when we arrived. We met up with some friends and I ordered a Bucket of Corona's at the Lido pool for sail away as well. At disembarkation I still had a couple of unopened beers left in our cabin for the room steward. They (HAL) were extremely accomodating in the Brew department!:D Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cathy p Posted February 11, 2005 #65 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Well after all that my only question is....

CruiseVA Posted February 28, 2005 #71 Share Posted February 28, 2005 We just got back from the 2/17-2/27 Maasdam cruise. They had buckets of beer (5 to a bucket) available all of the time the bars were open, at least from the Dolphin Bar and the one by the outside pool on Nav deck. The deal was $12 for a bucket of domestic (coors bud, miller), and, $13.95 (I think) for premium (amstel, corona, heineken, beck's, molson). I ordered the mixed buckets of premium all 10 days and requested them to not open the bottles until I wanted to drink them. The buckets were the way to go, as i just brought the leftovers back to the room & iced them for the next day. That is on those days where I actually had any beer leftover... PS - there were at least two of us sitting with our buckets all afternoon at one of the pools on sea days, so, enjoy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate-AHF Posted February 28, 2005 #72 Share Posted February 28, 2005 It IS funny how this thread stuck in my head. Every time I walked by the buckets of beer for sale at both the Lido and aft pools on the Zaandam last week, I thought of fcowher, and how I needed to post this when I got back. So that means I thought of this thread no fewer than 25 times! But someone beat me to it! It was five to a bucket, and they had them all lined up waiting to be purchased - with limes available for them too. I just didn't check the price, unfortunately. Sorry fcowher!

FCOWHER Posted February 28, 2005 Author #73 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Kate, I am extremly flattered that you were thinking of me while on your cruise. Its almost like I got to go. I was wondering why I was so happy last week while at work. Thanks for the quality information on the "buckets of beer". I hope "we" had a great cruise, lol. Joe V.

Classynfun1 Posted April 12, 2005 #75 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Ok, so we're down to knowing that HAL has buckets of beer (YUK!) and all you can drink pina coladas on BBQ night (YUM!), but what other specials do they have? Just trying to allocate money wisely..;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
