I have not had this experience either this was from someone evidently who just got back from a cruise last week and it is something new. I understand that there are different types of drinks that come in different size glasses. They had stated that they were with someone who did not have Cheers and ordered same drink and the Cheers came in smaller glasses. I just wanted to see if anyone else had the same experience.

I am good with smaller amount of mixer as long as the alcohol is the same amount and not trying to start a rumor, trying to get the facts.

I love the Alchemy bar and everything they make me is good. As far as the other bars I really like the Ting Mojito from the Red Frog... It has grapefruit soda in it.

Here is what they said...

Here's a tidbit of news I just found out from another person that had just came off a Carnival ship.... they have purchased the cheers program so the price of the drinks didn't matter to them... " you must ask for a full-size drink compared to a regular size drink" ....... they said a regular sized drink is half the size of a full size drink and counts the same as one drink credit....... that is Carnival's way of being cheap and saving money....... just good advice.... I had no idea I traveled with other people that did not have cheers and they would order a drink, then I would order the exact same drink from the exact same bartender and get a smaller size that cost less, but still counted as one of my drinks. When I asked the bartender about it he acted like it was no big deal, I just needed to ask for the larger size. Which was true, they gave me the larger size if I asked for it, while the non cheers customer got the larger, more expensive size without asking for it. I experienced this at multiple bars across the ship EXCEPT for alchemy.

Has anyone sailed recently with Cheers and gotten smaller drinks when ordering? On our Facebook Group for my upcoming cruise a couple of people said they had heard that they were serving drinks in much smaller cups when ordering with Cheers, surely this is not true.....

Oh that’s weird, we are cruising next week and doing an 8 day to Princess Cay, Grand Turk, Aruba and Curaçao. I guess they are changing it up for March.

I wish the port days were split up a little instead of 4 days in a row..

Does anyone know what days the elegant nights are on the Conquest 8 day? I know it is usually the first sea day and second to last night, however the second to last night is a port day.

Does anyone know what is across the hall from 9201 on the Conquest? It looks like the whole corner is a blank space on the deck plans, just wondered if it is a cleaning closet or something like that..

I do it every night...It may take a little bit to get a glass once you order it in the dining room so I like to bring one in with me.

We are trying to find something to do in San Juan for our next cruise that is either free or very cheap as we are doing excursions at all the other ports. We have been to the forts, walked around old town, etc. We had debated just staying on the ship or maybe getting off just to wonder a bit but wondering if there is a beach close by or something like that to do that we have not thought of.

Thanks for your replies these boards are a wonderful source of information.

We are in grand scenic ocean view in March on the Conquest and I am so excited!

We are in 9201 on the Conquest in March and I cannot wait. I booked it 2 years out to get it, you got lucky snagging that cabin so close to sail date...

I suspect it could get someone in the door earlier than their scheduled check in time though. I know that personally I always sneak in the day before and sleep in the concession area, but that's just me.

:'):'):')

They have fixed it now, mine showed wrong this morning and correct now. I wonder how many people printed them while they showed FTTF and will try to use them.

That would be me....:')Well at least might try to use it to get my luggage faster. I have been trying to buy it since I booked the cruise 1 1/2 years ago. I check twice a day every day and has been sold out.

I too just printed by boarding documents and luggage tags for our March cruise and they say FTTF on one end and Priority on the other end of the luggage tags. I did not purchase it but have been trying and it has been sold out. I am just going to use the tags even if I end up not being able to get it, at least my bags will get to the room faster.... Some kind of glitch. I was really excited when I saw it and was questioning whether I bought it and just forgot about it.

awesome, since they are e-cards do you just read Carnival the numbers on the card?

I don't believe they are e-cards, you have to go to the store to get them.

can you use gift cards to buy Cheers in advance

Yes you can.

Looking through the Kroger 25 Merry Days Digital coupons this morning.

 

On December 15 you can save $10 off Carnival Cruise Lines gift cards. There is no minimum or maximum amount listed. This coupon has to be downloaded to your loyalty card.

 

The details also state an expiration date for the offer of 12/31/2017, but I was under the impression that these "Merry Days" deals are only good on that specific date.

 

Happy shopping! :D

Under the details it does say only one per household. That stinks... I would have bought enough to pay off my cruise otherwise.

Hi I am wondering I have the value wifi plan added to account. Can I also use my texting while connected to the wifi on board or can I only use an app like face book messenger? I have an Iphone. Thanks so much

Imessage works better than the Hub App by far if you have an iPhone don't waste your money on the Hub. I only purchased the social media plan and I was able to use text messaging with both friends on the ship and stay in touch at home, of course only if everyone has an iPhone. Otherwise use facebook messenger.

Oh yes...I see it now! Thank you so much.

 

Does this credit come back to me on my original form of payment then? We were past final payment date so I paid it in full.

We were on the Triumph and got 50% refund which I got back to my debit card within a week of the cruise and that was automatic. Then we got 50% off future cruise which I applied to a cruise I had already booked but had not paid in full. I am not sure how that works if you were paid in full.

I was on one of the sailings on the Fascination that was cancelled. We were offered 25% cruise credit towards any future Carnival Cruise. We rebooked and I submitted the reimbursement form. I guess I'm not sure where this 25% comes back to me? I assumed as OBC on the cruise we booked. Also, how soon does this credit come back or get applied as obc?

I submitted my form and it was applied to my cruise within 24 hours. It does not show up on my booking page as a credit but my total is correct and my fare is reduced by the correct amount.. Not sure why they do it that way. I was amazed at how quick it was processed. Not sure how they do it with it applying as OBC, I would call and ask if it has been awhile.

The wine on the ship is not good. They tend to push the Layer Cake which is horrid... They have some decent Pino Grigio if she likes that.

I got off the Triumph on Monday and I called today to verify which payment source it would be refunded to and she told me I should have it within 2 business days. She also said if it was a debit card it was much faster than a credit card.

I would love to know this as well I am sailing on her next Thursday!
