Royal Caribbean Cooler Bag

[Xasmar]

So I purchased the cooler bag with the Bud Light.  However it says substitutions can be made. 
 

how would I go about that? Any info? 
What would my choices be?

 

Happy cruising!

I assume you would just need to call to substitute and also to see what the ship has available to switch it with.  I have been eyeing that bag. If you end up getting it (or if anyone else has gotten it), I would love to know if it's worth it.

Perhaps why they're saying substitutions is in case they don't have that specific brand of beer available on your sailing, something comparable will be used in its place. If it turns out to be something you don't like, then maybe you can bring it to guest services and see if something can be done.

I doubt if any beer is any less expensive for RCCL to buy now than Bud Light.

I got the package with Truly. Had 6 cans with 3 flavors. Swapped the cans I didn't like at the pool bar. You could probably do the same thing if you get beers you don't like as long as the price is same.

Just off Anthem this morning. We ordered the bags just with water, as what we wanted were the bags. 

They disappeared from the cruise planner a couple of months before the cruise and I was concerned they might be out of stock but they were waiting in the room when we boarded and they are great. We are really pleased with them.

We got the bags when they first offered them back in january- we ordered them with the water, and were really surprised when we showed up the cooler bag full of ice on the floor, and 6 HUGE GLASS bottles of water. Not sure if that's what they are still doing with the water, but I can say we love the bag- we use it regularly for road trips and attending my sons soccer games. Very nicely made.

We were on Wonder end of June and ordered the bag with water.  The bag was great and we used it at PDCC and Labadee.  The bottled water was 6 regular bottles of water.  We ordered mainly for the bag.

There's some more discussion here:

 

It was available for a short time, then became unavailable due to supply issues, and apparently is now back.

What a gorgeous boy! I had 2 boxers but when I got divorced I was unable to take them with me to my new home so my ex has them. At least I still get to get some sugar every now and then  I was more sad I had to leave the babies than I was the ex!!

I think it would be nice if they gave you the option of when to pick this up. Like they'd keep it some place cold for you until you pick it up. Picking up the bag and 6 Ice Cold beers on the way off the ship onto Coco Cay would be ideal IMO. The "Cooler" in the cabin is only slightly better than room temp.

I just ordered one for our October Allure. Taking a chance we can switch out the bud light. We usually always make friends with a bartender or two so I’m sure hubby will get them switched to a better beer at that same price point 

Even better is I used our $50 shareholder OBC to buy it!

We learned (on this board!) the trick of putting your ice bucket - filled with ice - into the cooler and then putting drinks in around wherever they fit. The ice took 2-3 days to melt completely and made warm water bottles cold (or at least cool approaching cold). We had to rearrange some of the shelving in there to make it fit with the door closed.

P.S. We just kept forgetting to get new ice until it was completely melted. I think if you put fresh ice in there every day, your bottles would become adequately cold. We just didn't care that much with only water, but I wouldn't want my beer to be "cool approaching cold" so I think swapping out for fresh ice would do the trick.
