Eclipse Gastro Pub Craft Beers

[Want2Cruise 701]

Anyone know if they're covered in the Premium Package? Thanks.

Hi,

Most beers are included but there are some ludicrously priced beer which you can pay the difference if you wish.

Not all craft beers are covered by the premium package --- you'll need to see the price on the particular beer you are interested in to know if it falls under your package price point. There will be a menu you can consult or talk to a bartender there.

I was able to get Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA under the premium package. Once I found that, I didn't look to see what else they might offer :D

Chimay is an upcharge but just about everything else is included.:)

Love that stuff. Will look for it on the Eclipse.

Anyone tried the food offerings they have there?

Sailing on Eclipse in March. Do they have a Gastro pub? If so where is it? Really loved it on the Equinox last year! Thanks.

On the Eclipse this past August, it was 'shared' with the Passport Bar, deck 3 across from Guest Relations. At certain times of the day(I don't remember the times), it 'became' the Gastro Pub.

This was very confusing to me when I was on Eclipse this 11/27-12/11. The Passport Bar has a large beer case on the wall across from the bar, and the daily paper states it has "pub style food" available, but not once did I see any evidence of food. Nor was it ever called the Gastropub. My partner upgraded his package so he could have Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, but yes, there were some beers with prices way above the premium package.

 

Cellar Masters, which I thought was to become a pub, sat completely empty a good 95% of the time. I don't know why they don't do something with it.

They really fudged the Gastrobar idea on Eclipse. It's in the Passport Bar on Sea days with food available from 3pm. Really, who wants a main meal at 3pm, why it's not open at lunchtime I have no idea. Never saw a single person eating here. I am not a marketing expert but they have made a mess of this idea on Eclipse. Even though they have the beer coolers there isn't a price list so you cannot work out which are included in which package, or not, and have to ask. Seems like someone wanted this to fail so came up with this restrictive offering.

 

Sad thing is as Eclipse is U.K. based in the summer, many U.K. Cruisers would enjoy a proper Gastrobar with food, beers and sports and it would probably be busier than Cellar Masters ever is.

Agree that the food part is rather odd and I do not recall seeing anyone eating.

 

I have always had a beer menu on the Eclipse for the beers. The most recent was January 2016. Did you ask about it? I know they had a list because I like to try some of the not so common large bottle beers over the premium limit and I would never order them without seeing the price. One of my favorites in Fuller's Vintage Ale. Celebrity does not always have every beer on the menu in stock from my experience.

 

I will try to remember to post a picture on the Eclipse beer menu next month.

Kevinyork,

 

I found the Gastor Bar Beer list from the Passport Bar on the Eclipse. It looked like this.

we ate in the Gastrobar once on an Eclipse Baltic cruise

 

it was the day we were in Warnemunde and we got back to the ship about 10.45pm ravenous after our trip to Berlin. Rather than go for the themed German food in the buffet we went to the Gastropub

From memory it was about 9 or 10 dollars each and was ok - nothing special

Are all the beers bottled in the Gastro Pub? Are there any on tap?

Are any beers in the gastrobar available with the classic drink package?

Reilly:

 

We have enjoyed the charcuterie tray which was excellent. We have tried the duck fat fries which were also excellent.

The only issue seemed to be timing. The Gastro Pub was new when we were there so hopefully that has been worked out.

There are some beers that fall within the Classic Package price range. But if you really want to try some of the interesting offerings....you would need to Premium Package. On our most recent cruise (Eclipse in December) there were NO beers on tap. As to the Premium Package....the best advice we ever received was from a favorite bar tender on the Eclipse. He suggested that if you are not sure about paying for the Premium Package....simply wait. Once you are on the ship and ordering drinks....if you find that the Classic Package does not meet your needs...then you can simply ask the bar tender (or waiter) to upgrade you to Premium. This is done immediately and charged to your onboard account. For those who are Elite Plus (we are sure about Elite) you will likely have a coupon (waiting in your cabin) that entitles you to 10% off the beverage packages. We have been successful using this coupon when upgrading from Classic to Premium.
