delmar60 Posted July 15, 2013 #1 Share Posted July 15, 2013 My wife and I are on the Liberty in August and I was just wondering if anyone who has been on Carnival lately knows the following prices: What does a bucket of beer cost for the 16oz bottles of beers? What does a bucket of beer cost for the 12oz cans of beer? Also reviews on the Red Frog Ale would be great as well. Thanks in advance:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonV1 Posted July 15, 2013 #2 Share Posted July 15, 2013 For 16oz alum bottles, you save $2 total when getting a bucket. Price depends on beer chosen of course. On occasion they do a special and take another $1 off. Cans are likely the same discount, although this is just a guess on my part. Red Frog ale was ok, although the hint of lemon/lime/citrus taste isn't for everyone. I saw a keg being moved to a bar; looks like Anheuser-Busch bottles it for Carnival interestingly enough as it was an AB keg.

Buckets are two dollars off regardless of the type bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwalk03 Posted July 15, 2013 #4 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I really enoy the Thristy Frog Ale or whatever the heck its called, lol. Its very similar to Rickard's Red if you have ever had that, another one of my personal favorite beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as food facilities making different brands using the brands own recipes. FWIW the Red Frog Ale is very drinkable. It is a very good red. Much better than any lawnmower beer onboard.

Thanks in advance:) Buckets of domestic beer (4/bucket) w/cost you approximately $25 per plus 15% gratuity (Carnival is now selling 16 oz. beer)...not sure what premium foreign stuff w/cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Geegitz Posted July 16, 2013 #10 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Red Frog is nothing like Blue Moon. 2 totally different brews. I also go for the Fosters. Best deal on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n6uqqq Posted July 16, 2013 #12 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Red Frog is nothing like Blue Moon. 2 totally different brews.I also go for the Fosters. Best deal on the ship. I agree. Fosters for a bucket of 4 is $28.75 " out the door " including gratuity. That is the equivalent of 8 twelve ounce beers. They are so big they actually come in 2 buckets :D for the 4 drinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
