Prices of beer?

[uirishtoo]

Can anyone please tell me the cost of a bottle of miller light or colors light? We are sailing on the Star in July?

I paid $6.84 for a bottle of Bud Light a few weeks ago on the Ruby.

That's obscene :eek:

[uirishtoo]

Really?? Someone old me around 5 which I thought was low.

[Matcodixon]

Pretty much normal bar price, seems to me..

 

Certainly not Costco prices.

[Poulsbo Cruisers]

You can purchase five bottles in a bucket with ice for the price of four beers. This is what my DW and I always do.

[uirishtoo]

Thanks for the information. I am sure we will be buying in bulk lol

I'm surprised to hear that from a semi-local. We can get Sierra Nevada level beers for less in SF. Even a pint of Guinness can be found for almost $2 less around here. I'm amazed what they can charge for Bud/Coors/Miller level beers on ships.

I'm looking at receipts from last week on the Ruby Princess -- one Coors Lite was $4.25, the 15% autogratuity was $.64, for a total of $4.89. The "bucket" special was five for the price of 4 -- $17.00, plus gratuity of $2.55, for a total of $19.55 for five Coors Lites.

That's cheap ! ... we pay AU$7 to AU$9 for packaged beer in a pub here !

I'm not a beer drinker but I can see why some people will go to the trouble to carry a few cases with them while boarding.

Captive audience so they can charge whatever they want!

This is from the Princess website.

 

Princess Cellars

 

The following beverages are available as bon voyage gifts. Prices include gratuity.

 

Beer Package Choose any of the following beers and receive six for the price of five: Beck's, Coors Light, Dos Equis, Miller Genuine Draft, Miller LiteItem #2310$23.25

 

It looks like this is the better deal. What does surprise me is that Princess doesn't allow you to do all of this online. You have to fax, mail or call everything in.

I see a trip to the grocery store in my future before boarding.

$2 Guinness...can I come live with you?? :D

[Bill B]

Bear in mind the buckets of beer are only available at deck bars, thus the hours of availability are limited.

 

I once found a great bartender in Churchill's Cigar Lounge on the Diamond who would sell me buckets... and the computer/terminal/register there had an old price - $1.00 less than at the deck bars. However, it only took a few days for my folio to be 'adjusted' to reflect the proper (current) price; and the 'bucket option' to disappear from that bar's computer/terminal/register. Darn!... LOL.

I hear you ... $10 for a pint of Guinness in my world ... :(

I think he was stating that he can get a Guinness for $2 LESS then the previous price stated, not FOR $2.:(:(

Yes, originally from St Helens, not lived there since 1989 when I joined the RAF.

I paid $6.84 for a bottle of Bud Light a few weeks ago on the Ruby.

 

The Bud products come in 16 ounce metal bottles for $5.95 plus the 15% gratuity. The rest are 12 oz cans, except for the "oil can" of Fosters and the Grolsch in a "flippy. Rumor has it that the Fosters is on the way out, and they are adding Corona.

[uirishtoo]

So domestic beers are served only in cans, not bottles?
