Rallo Posted August 25, 2006 #1 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Hi all, just wondering if any recent cruisers on the Star can advise me if they still play beer quoits onboard? I thought with the crackdown on excessive drinking etc they may have canned this game which has cans of beer as prizes. Just wondering if I need to hone my skills or not, ha ha!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet_successes Posted August 25, 2006 #2 Share Posted August 25, 2006 HI Rallo When we cruised on the Star at the end of May/early june they still played beer quiots. Hubby tried his luck a few times but bummed out so just bought his beer!! Rach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinalou Posted August 25, 2006 #3 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I was too embarrassed to ask this all along, but I am going to bite the bullet. Can someone please explain to me what a beer quoit involves exactly? :confused: :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiedisneyfan Posted August 25, 2006 #4 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Do you know what quoits is/are? It is the game that you throw the rope rings onto an upright stick a few metres away. On the ship, usually around 4-5pm, you line up and get a chance to throw two quoits. If you are sucessful you get a can of beer and sometimes they have the rule that if you get both quoits on then you get three cans. This goes on until they have given away a case of beer. You can have your turn and run back to the end of the line for another go. Our American cruise didn't have it for beer :( they seemed to be a bit classier than us drunken yobbos. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Kruzer Posted August 25, 2006 #5 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Beer Quoits is a P&O Australia tradition, and I would not like to see them stop it. Here is a handy hint.......... if you get friendly with the staff at the pool bar they will swap the can you win for a cold one;) ;) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinalou Posted August 25, 2006 #6 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Oooooooh okay, thanks for enlightening me. I cant say I have ever participated in one. It would be far more entertaining to watch people try and throw the rope onto the stick AFTER having a few beers. ;) :p Lol.... Sounds like fun! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kezza Posted August 25, 2006 #7 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Awww come on Tina, give a go, it's a lot of fun. I even tried it for the first time on our last cruise in March/April. Didn't do any good, but DH did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
