Matcodixon Posted April 10, 2012 #5 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Pretty much normal bar price, seems to me.. Certainly not Costco prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poulsbo Cruisers Posted April 10, 2012 #6 Share Posted April 10, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uirishtoo Posted April 10, 2012 Author #7 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Thanks for the information. I am sure we will be buying in bulk lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcvt Posted April 10, 2012 #8 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Pretty much normal bar price, seems to me.. Certainly not Costco prices. 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.

Administrators Rare CC Help Michell Posted April 10, 2012 Administrators #9 Share Posted April 10, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 HappyCruiser Posted April 10, 2012 #11 Share Posted April 10, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill B Posted April 10, 2012 #17 Share Posted April 10, 2012 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.

KreinKrunker Posted April 12, 2012 #22 Share Posted April 12, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
