Happy hour specials- buckets of beer

[smitty2013]

Hello, we are on the Eclipse Feb 19, 2017 14 night cruise and have inside cabin so no drink package included. Does anyone know if there are any happy hour specials at any of the bars? If so what bars and prices of drinks?

 

Also can you purchase bucket of beer at pool bar and if so anyone know price and details?

 

Thanks

I haven't seen buckets of beer on offer now for nearly two years. The price varied according to what beer was on offer but was in the $5 -6 range per bottle.This is probably because nearly 90% of passengers have a drinks package of sorts and thus there is no need to provide this incentive. Happy hours differ from ship to ship but once on board check the Community notice board beside Guest Relations, it is often posted there, if not check the Passport Bar on S class ships where they always have a happy hour. Not sure the best place to check on M Class ships

Sometimes, but, it is not publicized. Where you will find Happy Hour details is in the front of the blue drink book in the lounges. There are certain hours, usually 5-6, and 10-11. We will be on the Eclipse Jan 2-8, and I will check for you. We find them on some ships, and not on others.

Thanks I appreciate anything you can find out. If you have a chance ask bartender at pool bar if they sell buckets of beer and if so how many and how much.

The only time we have seen buckets of beer on =X= was 6 beers for the price of...6 beers.

 

Haven't seen the Happy Hour specials in over a year, but like someone said, may vary on ship/sailing.

There were some specials on our TA. The one I remember was at the Martini Bar later in the evening when they had a buy one get 1 half price. There were some late afternoon specials also. Didn't see any buckets of beer at the pool.

There were some specials on our recent Infinity cruise. It was 6 beers for the price of 5.

[jayoldschool]

I think there's been 6 beer for price of 5 on all of my X cruises. I used to buy them...

Look on the back page of the daily it will have the drink specials of the day. The buckets are normally at the pool bar. As said buy 5 get 6.

I saw no happy hours in the blue drink menus that I previously saw on the M class ships. There is a drink of the day, but, I do not know if it was a lower price. I am sorry I am not much help.

In my experience, I would buy bucket, drink 1-2 then, take back rest to cabin. Next day, swap 1-2 unopened warm bottles at same bar for chilled.

Even if not advertised, ask at pool bar if 6-for-5 available.

 

The Rendevous bar, maybe others, had a drink menu that indicated 'discount drinks period'. At Rendevous, daily 4-6, they had 3-4 choices about $2-3 lower. I can recommend "Loss of Words' made with Don Julio tequila cocktail :D- tell server if you like it on sweeter-sour side.

 

I have not seen reduced prices for the 'drink of day' - just an attention-getter.

 

Watch out for servers offering drinks in fancy logo glasses - you'll pay extra for the souvenir. Those unaware leave their 'souvenir' glasses laying among discards.:eek: HAPPY CRUISING

With approx. 90% of people onboard X ships these days with some form of drinks package either purchased or received as an incentive there isn't really a need to offer bucket of beer specials anymore
