lovetocruiserccl Posted June 28, 2012 #1 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Why start something and not continue it. We want beer bags, we want beer bags. They are handy and much better than the non existent bucket you have to wait for because they are always out of them. Please bring them to all ships especially the Explorer...

clyde1509 Posted June 28, 2012 #2 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Sorry....but whats a beer bag? Or a beer bucket for that matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudyard Posted June 28, 2012 #3 Share Posted June 28, 2012 As popular as they seem to be, you'd think it would be a money maker for RCCL. They could probably even raise the price a few dollars and people would still buy them. I would have bought one if they had had them on Mariner.

Tif1171 Posted June 28, 2012 #7 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I plan on bringing a soft cooler on the Explorer and requesting the "beer bucket" price if they are out of beer buckets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigque Posted June 28, 2012 #9 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I still have mine from my Serenade Cruise in 2010. It was a good thing to have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmacruiser418 Posted June 28, 2012 #10 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I agree! but I have a question, we've brought soft sided coolers on and had to keep them in the bathroom because they leaked when the ice melted. Anyone have a suggestion of how to keep this from happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had them on the Explorer in April after DH called RCL and was told they were to be fleet wide. He told the rep the Explorer did not have them and we were sailing in a approx 2 weeks. He told her she could email the ship. She called us the next day and said they would have them starting next sailing and they had them when we sailed.

Room Service!

jennmaybe Posted June 28, 2012 #13 Share Posted June 28, 2012 This would be great, but are they still going to limit the choices of beer you can select? That is the only reason DH did not buy a bucket on Oasis last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have a suggestion of how to keep this from happening? DH enjoys having a beer in the room while getting ready for dinner. We put a plastic thrash bag in ours. Had the leaking soft sided cooler on a previous cruise and took the bag with us the next time. OK, what is a beer bag? We will be sailing the Liberty in September. Would love to have something in the room to keep beer cold (fridge does no good) instead of lugging our own. I think that the cruiselines would sell more beer if they could be brought back to the room without having to go out and purchase one each time you wanted a beer.

akcruz Posted June 28, 2012 #16 Share Posted June 28, 2012 They were pushing them on Allure a few weeks ago and many many people were buying them. To those that asked, they are a soft sided cooler that they fill with ice and a set number of beers (6 or 7 I think). You can then get it refilled for a discounted price. We didn't partake so can't help with the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Room Service! Posted June 28, 2012 #19 Share Posted June 28, 2012 no, it leaked too:( That sucks! Was it one of the ziplock bags? The only other suggestion I have is to set the cooler on a folded (for thickness) towel and setting that on something plastic, or a tray. That's all I've got. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmacruiser418 Posted June 28, 2012 #20 Share Posted June 28, 2012 does anyone know if they still offer this on FOS? we sail in Sept. I don't remember seeing them anywhere but Oasis when we sailed on her. we've sailed FOS a few times since then and I don't remember it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onessa Posted June 28, 2012 #22 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I'm disappointed with the description of the "beer bag" -- here I was picturing those little aseptic pouches like they put little kid's juice drinks in (CapriSun et.al). I had this nice picture in my brain of someone pool-side, gripping a beer bag, driving the little plastic straw into the bag, and sipping :) I've not found a good selection of beer on any cruise ship so I'll wait until I'm on shore!

goinmobile68 Posted June 28, 2012 #25 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I agree! but I have a question, we've brought soft sided coolers on and had to keep them in the bathroom because they leaked when the ice melted. Anyone have a suggestion of how to keep this from happening? Zip bags-the freezer type are thicker. I just did a 2 week "styrofoam cooler tour" & never had a problem. They're one of my "don't leave home without them" things! They're also great to transport wet or possibly leaky things, keep things dry & clean, organize small items, and I hear you can also put food in them! More bulky but still useful-I had a large plastic water bottle that I filled with ice & put in the cooler. It kept things cold & as the ice melted you have water to drink.
