seaotter15 Posted April 14, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Would anyone have info about how much a Bucket of Beer is, or something comparable? If I recollect, there was a soft cooler that would come with a set amount of bottles. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerxspeedy Posted April 14, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) The beer bag is not used on every ship. I bought mine on Oasis for about $13. The cost to fill it was not cheap on Oasis or Allure. You buy 7 beers for $6 each and get a 8th beer "free". With tip it will cost about $50. This worked out well when we had two couples. Some ships may still have specials like "buy 5 get one free" and use a plastic bucket, but they change things all the time to generate revenue. I hope this helps.

jamesr3939 Posted April 14, 2015 #3 Share Posted April 14, 2015 In March on Oasis it was a soft sided foam insulated bag. I don't recall the cost as I had the drink package, but the bag looked pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyin2cruz Posted April 15, 2015 #7 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I like that cooler! I've always just gotten the plastic buckets, but the pool guys would even put 2 or 3 in for me to keep cold. That soft sider looks nice! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jticarruthers Posted April 15, 2015 #8 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Got the softsider for "free" on Indy last year. It was a buy 5 beers get the bag for free deal. I don't think there was any refill discount offered on that cruise it was just a nice to have. Not sure how well the beer buckets work with the packages ... probably depends on the bar staff ?

You can only get one drink (or bottle) at a time, per drink package. In other words, if you present the bar server with two SeaPass cards that have drink package stickers, they will usually get you two drinks.

330searay Posted April 15, 2015 #10 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Yes Bob is Correct. Last October aboard Explorer I had the Package. I also wanted some beers for the room so i splurged and bought one bag of beers. The following day i had intentions of re-filling and they would only get me 2. So i went and found my group at the pool. I took all of their sea-pass cards went back to the bar and had my bag filled!! Several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they open all the bottles seeing that it was technically all for different people or did they leave the caps on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
330searay Posted April 16, 2015 #13 Share Posted April 16, 2015 They would open the first one. By that time I had "established a relationship" with one of the bartenders. They knew exactly what I was doing. I make sure they are taken care of and on the flip side they will do the same. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to remember that for thanksgiving, traveling with a large group so we should have enough cards to refill the bag regularly :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
