Splendor my awesome bar package

[ManyMore]

about $700 just for booze for a week!! Wow. I sure don't want to be near a group of people who are having the 15th drinks that day. I would think this program would make most people drink more to get the most for the money attitude. Or maybe after day two they are to hung over to come out of the cabin! That is a lot of booze and a lot of cash. Now if you have friends in another cabin-I could share that package and make it worth it. People will find a way to share this. If you can break a rule-Carnival people will find a way!

I'll see later this month how it goes on our cruise.

Relax and enjoy.

 

You really think only Carnival people would break a rule like this or any other rule????? :rolleyes:

From what I understand- if one person buys it in a cabin- everyone needs to buy it in the cabin. So for me-3 adults in our cabin it cost about $900 extra for drinks for 7 days. Now if your buddies are in another cabin- you could share. That would be 7 1/2 drinks each per day. It is just like the soda card. Order one drink- give to friend- go to bar or wait for next waiter and get another drink. There is always a way to break the rules.

Relax and enjoy

technically, that would be called stealing, not merely breaking a rule. Kind of like going to an all you can eat restaurant and eating off someones plate, stealing. A rum Runner is breaking a rule.

Totally agree - $50 spread over 5 days or 7 days seems to work cheaper and with the soda card you also get unlimited mixers and juices. So that brings my bill to about $100 - and i can still enjoy my mimosa :D

 

my fiancee and myself spent $160 on 3 bottles of liquor from bon voyage then brought the 24 20 oz sealed drinks (all used as mixers) that two people were allowed to bring. Much much cheaper and stronger drinks too! :D

Maybe cheaper and stronger, but fewer options.

Some people like a wider variety of drinks that can be made from just 3 bottles.

Wines, beers,cocktails..etc.

 

Thats the great thing about this new program, its not for everyone, but it works great for some.

Still wondering how they will enforce this.

 

Any ideas?

 

I did the AI drinks package on Celebrity (DH didn't, as he is not much of a drinker anyway and was on Dr's orders to avoid it at the time) and found it to be a good deal.

 

I might be interested on Carnival, but my friend who cruises with my sister and me every year barely drinks and would never pay for a drinks package.

 

If my sister and I purchase the program, are they going to forcibly charge my friend's Sail & Sign for the program also?

(I haven't read all three pages of this thread, so I hope I am not missing some new information (specifically regarding bottled water) compared to the info that was disclosed when the package was first introduced on Victory....)

 

I really wish the package included the small bottles of water. The open-bar card cruises we have been on included the small bottles of water with the card - that was nice. I like to enjoy a variety of alcoholic drinks on our vacations, and personally I like the bar package option, but I drink as much water as I do alcoholic beverages. Shame it doesn't include that also.

[Wolfie48]

Sheesh, that's a shipload of alcohol for one person (15 drinks). :eek: I have avoided the 3 and 4 night 'booze cruises' for years, am I gonna find them now on the 7 night cruises? :confused:

 

Drink responsibly!

 

WOW so many prudes here :eek:

[deborahjo]

The reason why Carnival will not include water and speciality coffees because it takes revenue away from them. That will not change.

[dramaqueenjan]

Does that include room service?

[CWcruisers]

Does that include room service?

 

 

No. No room service or the little bottles in you cabin fridge.

All they have to do is check their computer to see who you share your cabin with and you'd have to both go and buy it at the same time.

Lighten up Francis!! Nobody said you had to drink 15 a day. Sheesh!

[stormynow]

While Celebrity inc water & Special coffee's, believe we paid $59.95 per day. Best deal is not having to sign the tickets. Really loved it.

[jules815]

6.5 drinks a day minimum to make it worth it. And so many people say they couldn't drink enough to make it worth it but if you drink:

(1) mimosa at breakfast

(1) drink at lunch

(2) drinks while laying out reading on deck

(1) glass of wine with dinner

And (2) drinks after dinner in the bar, casino, comedy club, or my personal favorite- the piano bar

There's your 7 (6.5) drinks {based on tropical/ froo froo drinks at about $7.50}

 

As long as service is timely and the drinks still taste the same, this sounds like a great deal to me!

 

And we always meet our friends at the Atrium bar for a drink before dinner. And if I had two glasses of wine with dinner, that's not excessive.

 

As you said, if it's brought in a timely manner and the drinks seem the same, it seems like a good deal.

 

We would probably skip the wine package and do wine by the glass in the MDR.

 

We probably wouldn't benefit from this package if we were doing a port intensive week with our kids, but for our upcoming 7-day eastern, 3 port days, plus not getting off the ship in Nassau, and maybe not even St. Thomas this time, and we're sailing with 2 other couples who are our "fun friends," this would be a good thing for us.

 

Now if they would just go fleet wide so we can take advantage of it next month on Dream! :)

According to Carnival via a phone conversation 10 minutes ago this is not available yet on the splendor ??;)

[erinpdx]

Someone who was on the Splendor this past week posted from the ship on the first day stating that she bought the package. Perhaps the customer service reps aren't aware that it is available on this ship????

From a CCL social network page...

 

"I have been in contact with the VP of Bars, the wonderful and vibrant Eddie A and he has told me that the program on the Carnival Victory was a big success and that the guests were “ very excited” about the program. It will continue on the Carnival Victory and on Sunday we started it on the Carnival Splendor this past Sunday and as we put it across the fleet I will let you know."

Oh PLEASE let it be on Dream by 10/20! :D

[rellersi]

Based on the drinks my DW and I have, we would have to have 10 drinks a day to make it worth it. Discounting the first day, which does not really start til mid afternoon, unless we are at sea all day, we probably would not drink that much every day. So unless I see differently on my next cruise, we will probably pass on the package and stick to buying a bottle from Bon Voyage, that gives me somewhere in the neighborhood of 45 drinks for the cost of the bottle and the soda card, ~ $100 per person

[DEBnGAB]

Oh PLEASE let it be on Dream by 10/20! :D

 

Fingers crossed for you!

[TOgirl47]

FLEET WIDE FLEET WIDE!!! Pretty please :):)

[stormynow]

FLEET WIDE FLEET WIDE!!! Pretty please :):)

Carnival are you listening!!!!!

[CruiseDuo12]

I am just concerned that I am going to plan on being able to have this program and then get on board and they don't offer it! I have contacted Carnival twice now and two different people have told me the same thing that it is only offered on the Victory right now!

[thinkpink4]

Please be on the Legend 9/23!!! I like it for the convience factor.... and I know what Im paying upfront so I have time to Save for it!!!

 

Carnival make it fleet wide!!!
