Yes, in my opinion that is best. Some people say it is worth it to just be able to not worry about your drink spending as you have already spent the money, but not me. I would be calculating every drink I had until I reached that $52 a day mark. 

Very doable for us. I promise you she'll want a glass of wine, probably a mixed drink and that's it. So I'll just factor that in and it will be on her card. This is her first cruise (5 days) she'll be ok, but she's not a drinker that would add up to $52 a day. 😀

I have only seen a sale twice that I can remember. I would not sit around waiting for a sale. Never makes sense for me as I would never break even on the deal. 

 

Yea, I think we'll be fine with bringing our own wine (1 or 2 bottles per person?) and breaking down the Cheer's Program is roughly what $52 a day (+/-). I know she won't go over $30 she's not a drinker like that, and I've given up alcohol (one week sober today) so the lemonade will do me just fine!

Yes, everyone over age 21 in the same cabin must purchase it.  Carnival doesn't do exceptions.

She will have a drink minimum...let me go ahead a let her know this NOW. 

what if honestly only one person in your group drinks. my wife drinks, I don't..are two packages still needed? if so than I'll just give her a limit and skip the package...cause I just refuse to pay that much, as I know she won't drink nearly that much 

Nov 17 will be my first cruise ever...and it's on the Carnival Dream.

Thanks for the review, though I have nothing to compare it to. I'm excited!
