Does Carnival offer this drink package fro HMC? If so, where and when do we purchase it?

Is there still a way to make a steakhouse and chefs table reservation without having to pay before you sail? I want to use our OBC to pay for them.

They will be gold on day 1, if you look at your paperwork for the cruise it should say gold vifp member up top.

I'm in the same situation once they let us cruise, keep having to reschedule.

It does say gold in my documents!! How exciting!! 🤩

Yes, you will.  Although it's been my experience that the pin and coupon are delivered later in the cruise versus day 1.

Thank you for the info!!

We were supposed to sail at the end of April and we were cancelled too! This one is a reschedule. Good luck!

Will we also get the pin and free drink coupon? 

So, my husband and I booked an 8 day cruise on the Dream in June 2021 for our 5th wedding anniversary. We have 17 days sailing on Carnival, which means we only need 8 more days to be gold. My question is, when we receive our sail and sign cards on day 1 of the cruise will they be gold already? Or will we have to wait until the next cruise for them to be gold? 

You can cancel cheers anytime and get refunded  

Did you try a different web browser? I have noticed different glitches in different web browsers.

When we were on the Pride in September, we asked our Steakhouse serve if we could order 2 apps instead of salad and app. I have salad every night in the MDR. I was allowed to do that.

We did this same thing on the Vista October 2018 and had no problems. We plan to do this again in April on the Dream.

Hi everyone! I ended up messaging John Heald on FB and he was able to accommodate our request. He was able to switch us to YTD. We did not find out until we got our sign and sail cards though. I was planning to go visit the Maitre'd on embarkation day, like everyone had suggested, but there was no need! 

We had a great Christmas Cruise and our dining experience was perfect. Thank you for all your help!

The doors will open around 8:15 and while people do show up and line up there is no need to do so, once the doors open everyone goes to their table fairly quickly.

Thank you! 

How does traditional late dining work? Do I show up at 8:15? Do I need to show up early? Thanks in advanced! I have always had YTD.

If you are in the time frame of printing out your board pas you are able to pay for your Specialty restaurant at that time. prior to that. You can reserve but not pay. Once you pay it will show up.

I have a cruise in April of 2020 and I can not print my boarding pass yet, but I can pay for a Steakhouse reservation. The old way is not available there either.

I had to prepay for a cruise in January.    Have not received an email   but when i go to the cruise planner and pull down that one day-- its listed

 

Also go into BOOKING and Order details  it lists everything I booked and purchased 

 

Yeah, I see it there. It just seems odd that all dates and times are available on a fully booked Christmas cruise. 

Has anyone used the new steakhouse reservation and already gone on the cruise? Now you have to pay for it when you make the reservation. I have not received an email with a confirmation. Will I? Is there a chance I have paid for this at the time and date I would prefer, but they are already booked up and we wont be able to have that reservation date and time? This is for a cruise that is next week and I feel like every date and time should not be available. 

Again, this is for the new reservation function. Not the old way where you had to get a confirmation email. 

That is GREAT info!! Thank you!! 

Thank you all for the info! Now for a dumb question.... Where can I find the maitre'd? I have never needed to talk to them before. 😸

We have always had your time dining, and for the Christmas cruise on the Dream we booked in 2 weeks we could only get late dining. Is it possible to request a private table for my husband and I for dinner or are they all only large shared tables? 

34 DAYS!!!!!

John Heald will post discount codes for excursions and the spa, but I have never really seen a great sale for booking. And as Jerseygirl1416 said, they have never put Cheers on sale ever. 

So, I have noticed they have changed the website for the funshops and I can no longer find the option to purchase the Cheers! package. 

Is anyone else having this issue?? 

You can buy more than 1 package BTW

I was on the Vista last year for Halloween and the winners got a bottle of champagne. They had 3 contests group/couple costume, women's, and men's.
