I have to bring some to Miami for a pre-cruise party!

Never been much of a beer connoisseur.

Drank domestic swill for years (Molson Canadian & Kokanee), then switched to Sleeman's Honey Brown which, to me, tasted amazing (also, no sugar, no fat, cholesterol or triglycerides haha).

I guess you could say that we will be the ones with simple tastes on the boat. We are too easy to please when it comes to this.

I found a restaurant near my office who sells imported beer.

I had a Erindger last week, and a Oettinger today, both Weiss. It's quite lighter than Erindger, but I liked it.

A long time ago I spent a month in Germany and since then I can't drink most american beers aside from some local stuff. I remember liking Furstenberg, and I'm curious if it's still around?

Otherwise I'll stick to my Irish whiskey, hopefully I can get some Jameson.

by **ShoreSlayer** » Wed Mar 24, 2010 11:16 pm

Have any of you more cultured beer drinkers tried the beer I mentioned above, Sleeman's Honey Brown? I'd be curious to hear how it rates with all the international beers folks are toasting here. My guess is that it would fall somewhere around the middle of the road overall but maybe those from Europe would love it or hate it, I'm be curious to know. Thnx.

Yeah Furstenberg is still brewed.

You have Bohemia in Mexico? Good to know, it's on my top 10 beers here in Brazil. The other I don't know, but will have it once we debark in Cozumel.

I heard they were also selling Brahma in USA. Do you know it?
It's a great Pilsen.

Brahma!!??? That tastes like water with beer!!! (I think it actually IS water with beer =S)
I used to drink that in Lima in parties only, because it was the cheapest one. It's disgusting!! Even for me that I don't know much of beers.
I don't actually like beer THAT much. The only ones I have ever found quite tasty are Dos Equis and Guinness. I also like black beer a lot, but I don't know how you call it in English.
I could be really happy with Dos Equis after (or during) a show. But overall, I probably will be seen around with rum or vodka or orange juice (the sun, man!!)

BTW, Rob, Kokanee is pretty bad, too >.< I'm glad you don't drink that anymore!

I'm a high class metalhead, so I drink wine. Assuming it's properly aerated and decanted of course

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decanter

The only time I was able to drink "almost" and entire beer was because it was: fresh brewed by the local tavern & a wheat beer. So it didn't have any harsh aftertaste.

by **Zeh** » Sat Apr 03, 2010 12:42 pm

Hey Kevin! I can say I divide my relationship with wines as BC / AD
After Decanter, Before Decanter.

by **TOM CRUISE** » Sat Apr 03, 2010 3:09 pm

I enjoy wine with dinner. otherwise I find it girly-ish and it makes you relax and sleepy.

Beer and Liquor get you there quicker!

by **kaluviva** » Sat Apr 03, 2010 11:47 pm

I wonder how pricey would be wine in this ship?? Hey guys, those of you who have been in a cruise before, are the rate of wine and beer similar or it gets more expensive when it comes to wine??

by **bangers** » Sun Apr 04, 2010 3:05 am

wine is only any good when its free.

women on the boat shud get free drinks....to encourage them to get drunk haha

Same thing when you go out to dinner or a bar. It's always cheaper to just buy it at the store. But based on past experience the prices on a cruise are in line with "normal" restaurants (for the most part).

by **TOM CRUISE** » Mon Apr 05, 2010 5:05 pm

since it was 30 for a 6 pack of beer on the cruise i was on, i will guess it will be around 12 to 14 dollars per glass, 30-120 for a bottle

I was curious, so I did some digging.

I found this here:

http://travel.webshots.com/photo/127812 ... 4116HeEKMg

This is a price list from another Royal Caribbean vessel. I guess the prices on the various ships are about the same. So for wine it's $7 to $15 a glass, resp. $30 to $90 a bottle unless you go for champagne and order a bottle of fucking Dom Pérignon for $189.

Champagne Metal!

haha yeh but i want to keep my job lol! Tom cruise wants vegemite!

by **KK Cruiser** » Tue Apr 06, 2010 8:24 pm

You what type of beer I like?

Cold.

My Faves are:

Kronenbourg From France - Boris isn't bad either
Cascade From Australia
Rothaus Germany I am shocked the Aussies knew this
Canada - ...... Hmmmm - I'll get back to you.

Most German beers are good except BECKS. Fuck I hate how corporate Wacken is. Fucking Becks!

If I don't want to reek like booze I drink Cider like Strongbow.

by **Dark Dreams** » Tue Apr 06, 2010 9:50 pm

Who cares as long as it's cold and there is plenty.

by **Schluckspecht666** » Wed Apr 07, 2010 3:22 am

Yeah, I guess they must have tight security at those kind of mines. Do they actually check you every time you leave work?

by **aussiestu** » Wed Apr 07, 2010 3:27 am

As long as the beer has a minimum of 4.7 %(preferably over 5) alcohol then I wont really care. Otherwise if there is only mid strength shit then there will be problems

full strength that is!!!

by **Schluckspecht666** » Wed Apr 07, 2010 3:45 am

How about non-alcoholic beer?

Who actually buys that shit?

I know that in some countries you can not advertise for alcoholic beverages, so every brewery has a non-alcoholic version of their brand which they can advertise. But seriously, who actually buys that crap? If I cannot drink, because I need to drive or whatever, I rather have a soda.

Before I drink a Clausthaler I have a Beck's. Yak!

I thought it was cheap? I wonder if the kitchen can give me a loaf of bread or some crackers and we can have a VEGE party!

Another thing I love that we can get here is Nutella.

Not good on my diet however.

CURSES! There better be some GOOD, no, GREAT beer on board.

by **Deificus254** » Wed Apr 07, 2010 12:02 pm

by **Blastbeatorz** » Wed Apr 07, 2010 2:12 pm

I can bring some Belgian braincell-killing beers (as I am from Belgium, obviou, obvious).

Yeah, I hear ya! Once my boyfriend and I went to a restaurant and ordered some kind of coctail, but because he just had his Army ID (and looked too young) they said they couldn't identify the identification cards and gave him the coctail without the alcohol. %&$&%$#&%& Really|!? He got fruit juice!!! That shit shouldn't even exist!! It's an insult to adults XDDDD (and I think to kids too =S)

I have to admit that Shirley Temples are awesome regardless. (No, I don't go around ordering them haha!) I am a sucker for most anything with Grenadine.

Kind of funny that in some countries one can be in the Military but is not allowed to drink... That's just wrong. IMHO

funny story....

whilst in college, I lived with two friends. We were all broke ass. It was a nice sunny day and I really wanted some beer. So I went to the liquor store on a search for the cheapest beer that could get you the drunkest possible. I found this six pac that was... i think 8 bucks or so. I can't remember the name of it but it was a white lable with red writing. So I was all excited when I got back to my house and started blabbering to my friends about how I got this awesome 6 pac for 8 bucks or whatever it was. And just as I was about to crack one open my friends says "dude I think that shits non alcoholic" and I laughed... until I looked at the label and discovered it contained 0% of the good stuff.

anyways.... i ended up walking back the 20 minutes or so to the liquor store to see if i could return it. walked up to the customer service desk and said "i didnt realise this didnt have any alcohol in it" and the guy looked at me like i was a complete retard and then let me get some real beer.

good times.

Unfortunately, Royal Carribbean's Alcohol Policy states that the minimum drinking age is twenty-one (21) on all International ships.
