Aquahound Posted August 25, 2010 #76 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Is there a lid? Can't wait to see a pix!!! No, there is not. It's more like a bag with 2 handles. I did see someone close it by puting the shoulder strap through the handles and tying it closed. Click this link. It is not exact, but similar: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.promosdirect.com/promos_images/2/hi_res/14067.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.promosdirect.com/type/Cooler-Bags/119&usg=__3sP7UCcaIe-e2EP7VSxHmgaRvPg=&h=505&w=760&sz=190&hl=en&start=72&zoom=1&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=vOJTY2S3HTaXAM:&tbnh=94&tbnw=142&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dinsulated%2Bcooler%2Bbag%2Bbottle%2Bopener%26start%3D60%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26ndsp%3D20%26tbs%3Disch:1 The RCI one is yellow with the Royal Caribbean International logo on the front.

Rare shipshape sam Posted August 25, 2010 #81 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I saw a show on one of the business channels on how the cruise ships have to make so much to ........well, stay afloat. :p The one particular ship they were spotlighting was way down on their alcohol sales and only had one day to go. By the end of the week they had managed to make their goal by pushing drinks on the last day. It was very interesting seeing a cruise ship from the angle of trying to hit their financial goal for the week. I think I saw the same show or a similar one. They were monitoring revenues all during the week. Pretty neat how they managed it, so it was clear to me that alcohol sales were important to at least some of the crew. Never bought the buckets, but do buy 2-3 beers and take back to cabin for storage when I want a beer! No need to have to go get one, just open frig and enjoy! We do not smuggle. I just figure I will spend an extra $100 bucks, at least, and enjoy my cruise! If I were to smuggle, I would most likely take the money saved and donate it in the casino anyway. This way, I get something tangible for my donation. :) As an aside, I am skeptical of statements like 'I would only drink it in my cabin". We sail Celebrity a lot specifically because Celebrity sells liquor packages prior to sailing for consumption in your cabin. And yes we do take it out of our cabin at times. We are also Elite on Celebrity and Diamond on RCCL, so we get drinks in the evening as part of our loyality to RCCL and Celebrity. Another reason there is no need to smuggle for us.

twomuchfun41 Posted August 25, 2010 #82 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I filled mine up as many times as I could, although I did go to the different bars to do so (Pool Bar, Solarium, and Sky Bar) there was no one day restriction - they come unopened (twist off) and I had some on the deck and brought some back to the room, left a couple in the fridge. Bud, Mich Ultra, Bud Lite and Bud Lite Lime was offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna - dsw Posted August 25, 2010 #83 Share Posted August 25, 2010 This isn't bad at all - don't mind paying good bar prices - just hate to get ripped off just cause we are on a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dzcruisers Posted August 25, 2010 #84 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I did a search on the bottled water and found that long thread on people that got there water taken away , on the Monarch. I was on Page 10. I think you can thank those who carefully disassembled their water cases, put alcohol in some bottles in the middle and then put it back together. Some did it with bottled tea also. Then they bragged about and posted about how to do it. They forget the cruise lines read these posts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmoopie17 Posted August 26, 2010 #85 Share Posted August 26, 2010 You can order buckets of beer and have them delivered to your cabin. We did this on our last cruise for afternoon sailaways. No issues at all. Maybe so...but not at this price. Also...and don't quote me on this...I heard that the "regular" buckets come with opened bottles. Much better to not have them opened...

Rare shipshape sam Posted August 26, 2010 #86 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I like idea of being able to order buckets of beer to our cabin. Will check in out on next cruise. Like Schmoopie17 mention "as long as they are not opened" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maweberpa Posted August 26, 2010 #91 Share Posted August 26, 2010 This is a great idea. I mean $25 versus $38 for the refills, not to mention the convenience of having some in the room. I hope the do this on Oasis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curley23 Posted August 26, 2010 #96 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I believe the OP said any beer you wanted except Fosters , which is a 25oz. can. Domestics come in the 16 oz. aluminum bottle and the others are 12 oz I believe. You can have any beer domestic, or import. All beers are now 12oz. Most in glass bottles, the only cans I saw were Heineken. They have Bud Light lime, Corona, Bud, bud lt, coors lt, heineken, stella, becks, maybe a few more. They no longer have aluminum bottles. Havent had them since beginning of the yr, at least on Majesty, as we've been on her 3 times since Jan, and all 12oz. now. Fosters 25oz OIL can is a no no. So is Smirnoff Ice. If it ain't a 12oz beer, you ain't gonna get it in the bucket. I asked one of the bartenders about bringing it back on another cruise, or on another ship, and he said as long as the color is the same. He thought they may come out with different colors for different ships, however, it is in the Royal Blue and Gold RC colors, so I would think they would all be the same. I guess you may see some idiot trying to sell one on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
