FCOWHER Posted April 12, 2005 Author #76 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Beer yuk? Cmon now, that is no to refer to the nectar of the gods. I do like a Pina Colada in the morning while on a cruise.

Gardendog Posted April 12, 2005 #77 Share Posted April 12, 2005 They sold buckets of beer for the March Madness Basket ball games. It was perhaps $12 for 5 Coronas. They had set out nachos and chips and dip and had the game going in the Northern Lights night club area. Most people sat at the "sports bar" area across the corridor however. I thought it was very nice, very apropos for a game night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dakrewser Posted April 12, 2005 #79 Share Posted April 12, 2005 [quote name='FCOWHER']Only 11 days until I am enjoying my first bucket of Beer on the Zuiderdam. Joe V.[/QUOTE] Last week on the local news they were interviewing a priest from San Francisco about papal memories. It seems this priest had been in charge of food & beverage at the cathedral in San Francisco at the time the pope visited in the late 80's. So the pope was having dinner at the Cathedral residence with the cardinals and monsignori. According to this priest, all of the major wineries in California had shipped in their finest wines in the hope that the pope would find favor with them. As the meal was about to begin, the priest walked up to the pope and asked: "Your Holiness, what would you like to drink?" The Pope thought a moment, then said, "I'd like to have a beer." Well, there was never beer at the cardinal's table, but the priest remembered that, some time before, one of the servants had brought in a six-pack to be offered to some men who were working in the yard. As he headed for the garden refrigerator, the priest prayed over and over, "please, Lord, let their be one beer!" There was one can left... :) - have a Guinness for me!

FCOWHER Posted April 12, 2005 Author #80 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Wow, the Pope liked beer. I may have to reform my evil ways and go back to church or at least take a cruise that has a famous church in one of its ports. Joe V.

caribbean girl Posted April 14, 2005 #81 Share Posted April 14, 2005 FCOWHER: We were recently on the Maasdam and I can tell you that we (thouroughly!) enjoyed our Coronas (delivered perfectly frosty, in a bucket filled with ice) poolside. As I recall, they were 4 for $12 and worth every penny. I can tell...you are going to have a blast on your trip!! Have one for me!!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetotravel2 Posted April 14, 2005 #82 Share Posted April 14, 2005 We recently cruised on the Zuiderdam and were able to purchase buckets of beer on the Lido deck at all times of the day. You could purchase 4 bottles of domestic beer for $10 and 4 bottles of imported (Corona) for $12. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaniceB Posted April 14, 2005 #88 Share Posted April 14, 2005 We sailed on the Zaandam in March and were able to buy a bucket of beer poolside. It is a great way to keep the beer cold in the sunshine. I don't know anyone who likes warm beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribbean girl Posted April 15, 2005 #89 Share Posted April 15, 2005 And, if the pope ever chose to wear jeans wherever he decided to wear them, who would object? Perhaps he might have a beer (from a bucket) WHILE wearing jeans!! And he might do all of this during formal night!! Yikes!!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fridayeyes Posted April 15, 2005 #92 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Would that be Pope Lido I? :rolleyes: -dave ROFLMAO! Now Guinnness - Guinness is not beer. I secretly suspect that Guinness comes from the same family as chocolate. A friend of mine has even had Guinness ice cream which she says is heavenly. Cheers!

caribbean girl Posted April 15, 2005 #93 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Okay, Mr. Dakrewser...that was funny! I saw a funny cartoon today, incidentally.

swom Posted April 18, 2005 #96 Share Posted April 18, 2005 The answer is yes. We bought them twice on the Westerdam in December.They were 6 Miller Lites for $15. You could get Budweiser as well. We got them from room service to keep in the fridge in the room. Thanks for this info. We drink only beer. Don't like liquor or wine, so it's good to know we can get it this way and enjoy it on our verandah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
