Cheers and Cruise Cash bar are 2 totally different things.  Cheers is the package you purchase for alcohol/drinks and tips are included in that purchase.

 

Cruise Cash Bar is purchased in smaller denominations (up to $500 per cabin) and can only be used for bar purchases.  Use it or lose it.  Bar tips can be used from that.

 

On board credit can be used for just about anything that you would charge to your sign and sail, including extra bar tips.

 

Are you sure you bought Cheers and not Cruise cash bar?   It's a big difference.

 

I'm 100% sure we have Cheers. The OBC we have will basically spent the moment we get on the ship on 8 or 9 bottles of White Hennesey. And I understand that a gratuity is already included when purchasing drinks, but I still give an extra $1 with each drink. I'm planing to tip that extra $1 from the Cruise Cash Bar credit.

I'm basically trying to not have any changes on my credit card

Can the Cruise Cash Bar be used for tips?

Long story short, my brother's and I are going on a cruise and we purchased the Cheers Program for ourselves. When we booked our cruise, we received $500 on board credit.

I normally tip and extra $1 with each drink I get. When I tip that extra $1, will the money come out of the Cruise Cash Bar (Credit) or will it be taken from the on board credit?

This, Sept 2019, will be my first cruise to Cuba. I want to bring back a few Cuban cigars. I know I can buy them in Cuba, but does the ship (Carnival Paradise) also sell Cuban cigars?

Nice - we booked with Blexie's group. They were great!

How did you book with Blexie?

Did you pay before the trip?

Does it comply with current U.S. regulations need to participate in People-to-People activities totaling at least 7-8 hours?

 

Be sure to wave if you see any officers by the windows, and you will!

 

 

I was just thinking, If I had that walkway/balcony I'd sneak me some chairs and a table some the Lido deck and put them out there.... I don't know how much the Officers would like that though.

Awesome review, keep it coming..
