Your next visit to Royal Caribbean's private island could have a beer that's been missing for almost six years.
It's been a while, but the cruise line confirmed it's bringing back the Chilla Thrilla beer to Perfect Day at CocoCay.
The cruise line introduced this exclusive brew that was produced in partnership with Funky Buddha Brewery.
Before you throw a few back, here's what's been revealed.
Coming to private destinations and ships
When Royal Caribbean opened Perfect Day at CocoCay, the introduced a lot of firsts, including a branded beer.
Chilla Thrilla was available for just a few months in 2019, as the cruise industry shutdown of 2020 halted distribution.
When cruises restarted in 2021, the beer wasn't brought back because of apparent supply chain issues.
However, that's changing, as Royal Caribbean confirmed Chilla Thrilla is coming back. The cruise line shared on its social media feeds an update:
The Royal Caribbean x Funky Buddha Brewery Chilla Thrilla is a refreshing blonde ale brewed with a splash of mango and guava, perfect for a full day of soaking up the sun.
Grab this Florida-brewed tropical ale at any of our private destinations and ships sailing out of the US.
This marks the first time since early 2020 the beer will be available, and it sounds like as long as your cruise ship sails from the U.S., you'll be able to sample it. Funky Buddha claims the beer is available on any ship sailing to the Caribbean.
In fact, it's already been spotted on Explorer of the Seas.
And yes, the beer is included with Royal Caribbean's popular drink packages.
What does it taste like?
According to the brewer, Chilla Thrilla is a "Blonde Ale with Mango and Guava".
It's a drink meant to evoke a tropical taste, which is why it leans in the fruity direction.
"A crisp body and tropical vibe makes Chilla Thrilla perfect for a day packed full of fun in the sun."
Funky Buddha claims it pairs well with the food you can get at CoocCay, including a Cuban sandwich, mango and habanero wings, carnitas tacos, fresh citrus and stone fruits.
Beer fan site Untappd listed the fan reviews of Chilla Thrilla at 3.5 stars across over 500 reviews.
