Rare skittl1321 Posted May 29, 2015 #1501 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I don't know if this has been asked, but as a single Man, can you purchase a Lady a drink and not use your CHEERS 15? You can't buy a drink for someone else on the cheers card. You would just use your sign and sail card and charge it like a normal purchase.

mrak Posted May 29, 2015 #1502 Share Posted May 29, 2015 You can't buy a drink for someone else on the cheers card. You would just use your sign and sail card and charge it like a normal purchase. To be more clear...you only have one card; your sign n sail card. They just put a sticker on your card and also the computer knows you are on cheers. If you have someone at the bar with you and want to buy them a drink, they will just charge you regular price for that drink and it will not count against your limit of 15. However, on my most recent cruise, there were instances where a bartender knew me from several days on the boat and would ask me if I'd like to charge it against my Cheers limit. They aren't technically supposed to do this but it happened a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you try to purchase 2 drink at the same time you will have to pay full price for one of them (this happen to me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie S. Posted May 29, 2015 #1504 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Slight correction, you can buy a drink every 5 minutes, not 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

absolutonrox Posted June 1, 2015 #1506 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I'm booked on Pride in August and I'm debating getting the Cheers program for my wife and I. I think we may come up just short of making it "worth it" but it will probably be close. I'm considering it for the ease of knowing I don't "have" to watch how much we're drinking per day and the "sticker shock" of the tab at the end of the cruise. My sticking point is Half Moon Cay. The first post of this thread says you can use the Cheers program on HMC, but my PVP said you can't. I found that odd because RCI and NCL both allow beverage packages to be used on private islands (not sure about other lines though). So can someone who's had the Cheers package on Half Moon Cay recently tell me how their experience with it was? Were you able to use it or not? Thanks!

brendashepard Posted September 27, 2015 #1512 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I was just wondering if anyone knows how much shots are and if you have the cheers package does a shot count towards your 15 per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harborfamily Posted September 27, 2015 #1513 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I was just wondering if anyone knows how much shots are and if you have the cheers package does a shot count towards your 15 per day. I purchased Cheers on our last cruise. Shots of Patron Silver were $9.95 & each (no double-shots) counted towards the 15/day limit. Hoping there hasn't been a price increase since we're going again in January & Patron is all I drink [emoji6] Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog1958 Posted September 27, 2015 #1514 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Yes, but youll have to pay taxes if you pre order it Not true, no tax on it even if pre-ordered... when it was first rolled out they had a system issue with it, and was charging tax in error...

BalzacBill Posted September 27, 2015 #1515 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Just got of the Miracle, and had pre-purchased the Cheers package. Didn't have the sticker when we picked up our S&S card, had to get it from one of the bars that were selling the program. Won't order it again because we didn't reach our break even every day, just didn't get off our balcony and drink enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisin 4 Ever Posted October 4, 2015 #1518 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I'm not a big drinker but my husband likes beer so we got the package in November. It was great. I tried all different fancy cocktails, martinis etc and we knew it would work out well for my husband and it did. I would definitely get it again.

GrannyFlamingo Posted October 5, 2015 #1520 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Can you buy cheers on the second day if you're leaving from Jacksonville or Charleston? Or is that just for Galveston? I think more than three drinks the first day will just put me to sleep after the excitement of waiting for vacation to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were at HMC in August and had the CHEERS! program. We were not able to use it anywhere but on the ship. Unless they have changed a policy in the last month and a half, you cannot use CHEERS! on HMC or Nassau, only on the ship itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
