KathW Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 Can you use your pre purchased drinks package as soon as you embark on ship at your departures port? Or do you have to wait until the ship actually sails to use it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sk8erguy1978 Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 The very first thing I do once on-board is head straight for the Windjammer. The second thing I do (before finding a table) is find the man with the beer cart.

I admit that I'm a beer snob. I like my beers strong and full of flavor. On the topic, the one let down with RCL is their beer selection, fairly generic. But they have to please a larger crowd, so I go with the flow and find the best that I can, usually end up with Blue Moon. At least the Pub has some things to pick from. Given that my upcoming sail is out of Boston, it would be great if they could stock up on some New England based beers like Sam Adams and Harpoon. I've been on one sailing that had Sam Lager. Halfway through the week, I was told that I had made quite a dent in their stock. I'm not sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing. kuruczpa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably but I'm only having one or two then off to pool deck for rum drinks. They honestly might have limes at the cart, I'm a take it or leave it guy with the lime. I'm also not a big Corona drinker but enjoy them in the sun once in a while :). Oh, and last cruise on Anthem last September, they were cans lol.

Corona isn't my go-to beer but do enjoy a few in the sun. When not watching calories or carbs I'm more of a Guinness Draught person. I also enjoy Smithwicks, and other beers in the Guinness line up. I of course enjoy a variety of other beers but not going to list them all lol. I'm not a beer snob but do get snobby with how people incorrectly pour a Draught. I'm too polite and don't call them out, but if it results in a big head I'll not order another. Last few bars I've seen the same thing ... Put class under tap pull handle - eek - once it settles - pull handle again -eek - ... One I saw doing an angle, not perfectly but at least it was an angle. After it settled, she pulled the handle forward instead of pushing it back - ugh! PatsFanBrian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Explorer a bunch of the bars didn't have Guinness Draught and I was going from the Viking Crown to Pub to get one. After my second time doing this round trip I spoke to the bartender. They stocked a few cans in the Viking Crown for me. So, point, doesn't hurt to ask! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cans have made a big comeback, many beer nuts think the beer stays fresher longer. I always go to the draft first, but those options are limited on the ship. But beer should be poured. I'll never drink directly from a can or bottle. sk8erguy1978 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikkoo Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 On our recent cruise from Southampton on the explorer they had strong bow dark fruit. It was so nice on the hot days Do they have that when sailing out of the us? thanks, Nikkoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But perhaps there's a chance that I'll get some Sam or Harpoon since both breweries are within a stone's throw of the pier. A person can hope....

Fairlynew Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Mimosas are available most everywhere, but if you want fresh squeezed orange juice, your options are more limited. I can't remember which places had real orange juice and which didn't but I do recall that some did not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
