nitro2448 Posted March 29, 2014 #1101 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Phew. I was getting seriously worried over hear. ;) You know, because a little more than 24 hours away from sail away there is nothing else to worry about at all (getting to the airport, plane being on time, getting our luggage all in one piece, kids being left behind with grandpa... LOL) I gotta focus on the little things or the big ones will overwhelm me! Lol, I guess alcohol drinks are like food, taste is subjective. Don't forget your passports, or birth certificate. My brother did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHHHH!!! I'd be soooo bummed. Yeah, Passports and all boarding information and confirmations are tucked into a BRIGHT green pocket folder so that I can't avoid seeing it. I really do think I have enough things squared away that I should be able to focus on the drinking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwood0612 Posted March 29, 2014 #1103 Share Posted March 29, 2014 The other days what ever we had left at the end of the night we would get unopened beers. During port days we would take the unopened beers with us, in a collapsible cooler into port. Saved us some money while in port! Sent from my iPad using Forums This is exactly what I intend to do!!

THL1313 Posted March 29, 2014 #1105 Share Posted March 29, 2014 We took advantage of the cheers program on the Dream in mar 2013. It was perfect for my partner and I. I hit the 15 max 1 day on the 7day cruise. The other days what ever we had left at the end of the night we would get unopened beers. During port days we would take the unopened beers with us, in a collapsible cooler into port. Saved us some money while in port! We plan to do the cheers package again when we go on the fantasy in April. BTW I loved the long islands and that will be my first drink, while I'm signing up for the program as soon as we get on the ship! Sent from my iPad using Forums loved the cheers package.......... me and DH used it on thanksgiving cruise on dream.............. will use it again on thanksgiving cruise on sunshine...... it you like long islands............... try the tokoyo tea!!! we only hit our limit once as well...........but did get unopened beers for the frig in our room......... wish room service would deliver bloody Mary's for sunrise!

bdtmoult Posted March 30, 2014 #1108 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Hard to search such a large thread. Has it been confirmed on the Sunshine at Shake spot, are the alcoholic shakes covered under cheers? Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybandfamily Posted March 30, 2014 #1109 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Ok So I've search all 50 something pages and it seems that cheers is a good value. We are gonna grab a quick cruise a 3 dayer next month. If I am right we should be able to do cheers on the ecstasy? Also I would like to know some peoples strategy for getting the best value out of the program. Yes I see you can get 15 long islands.... My view is they prob make them with well liquor and all that will get you is one large headache and possibly a techno color yawn. Not my bag o tea. I believe life is too short to drink cheap booze so we will look at martini's, margarita's, and highballs and look to upgrade them. Is that acceptable under the program? I also like a rum and coke so do they have premium rum like 10 cane, captain Morgan private or pirat ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goduckies05 Posted March 31, 2014 #1110 Share Posted March 31, 2014 You can get a grey goose martini on cheers but sadly you have to have at least a five day cruise to get cheers. Doh! Sent from my SPH-L710 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybandfamily Posted March 31, 2014 #1111 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Aw man we got a 5 day on the victory in August. Was hoping to test drive it on a quickie last min cruise. Well I think we will still be going next month but will have to wait to get our drink on til later in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to tell you this....but they do NOT do cheers on the 3 night ecstasy which has us holding off on it as of now for labor day, that being said....the boat does stay overnight in Nassau so you'd be spending money there....comparing with a Royal Cruise and they also don't do it on anything shorter than 4 days. Also...with your drinks if you are smart for example here is the difference between myself and someone who doesn't utilize it right. I drink white russians...they put Sky or whatever in it.... I ask when I order for GREY GOOSE white Russians...pushing the 10 dollar limit.....same with any other drink...get top shelf. Instead of getting a CC and Coke...I get a CROWN and Ginger. ya see? Cheers mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sag1804 Posted April 3, 2014 #1123 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Anyone have a clear cut answer why the cheers is never offered on the 3 night cruises? Was looking to do the ecstasy over labor day weekend but... just wondering =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrBit Posted April 3, 2014 #1124 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I don't mind the 15 drink limit for Carnival but just coming off my first cruise with RCL, they changed the policy to allow individuals vs everyone over 21 in the stateroom to buy their beverage program. Carnival, PLEASE FOLLOW SUIT!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monza Posted April 4, 2014 #1125 Share Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) I don't mind the 15 drink limit for Carnival but just coming off my first cruise with RCL, they changed the policy to allow individuals vs everyone over 21 in the stateroom to buy their beverage program. Carnival, PLEASE FOLLOW SUIT!!!! ditto, IMO, Carnival's Cheers package is the worst drink package offered by any of the cruise lines. They really need to adjust and catch up. Recently had the RCI premium drink package, costs less than Cheers, is unlimited, and despite both of us buying at the time, it is now available individually and both passengers in a cabin don't have to purchase. DW doesn't drink much so individual choice is now a much better offering. Despite neither of us being serious consumers with RCI premium it was good to have a fixed budget, no worries about over spending, and discretion to order what we wanted, whenever. BTW never saw anyone drunk or abusing themselves or the program all week. Next cruise is a 14 day Carnival Pride, and Cheers is a limited package, only available if purchase for the entire cruise and both of us have to pay. Cheers way too much cost vs convenience, esp. on a 14 day cruise. Cheers cost is prohibitive. Will not be purchasing. But next time we sail RCI we will purchase their premium package! Carnival needs to at least match RCI!!!! Edited April 4, 2014 by monza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
