FTLCruiseGal Posted April 11, 2015 #26 Share Posted April 11, 2015 There was a thread on here last week that said most of the top shelf drinks have gone from the $9.75 to $10.25. Puts them out of the Cheers program range. Sorry but I don't remember the title. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2193834 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruisegirl6 Posted April 11, 2015 #27 Share Posted April 11, 2015 There goes my top shelf margarita.....between them raising wine/drink prices to bring drinks off the Cheers program list and the 15 drink maximum limit (not that I want more but its the principle of what other cruise lines offer/competition) don't think I be choosing Carnival anytime in the future unless I get another premier cruise offer. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAHMto5 Posted April 12, 2015 #28 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Is the Pirate punch new? since last November. It looks like a drink I would like, but don't recall ever seeing it on a menu last November. A new one to look forward to trying in October:D I don't recall the Pirate Punch either. Looks great!

A new one to look forward to trying in October:D Yes I think it is new, because I don't recall seeing it before either, but then had it on my cruise last month. It was good! But then, all the drinks are good! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferfoodle Posted April 12, 2015 #31 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I was on the Pride Repo 3/15-29/15 and the standard frozen fru-fru's (daiquiris, Kiss on the Lips, Pina Coladas, etc.) have gone up 70 cents to $7.95 each. With the 15% gratuity, they come to $9.14 each. I can't remember the cocktails such as Sex on the Beach, but they too increased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ready2cruzagain Posted April 12, 2015 #33 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Just compared the menus ykgorbie posted with the ones from late last year and yep, looks like everything went up. Beer went up anywhere from 25 Cents to 50 Cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ready2cruzagain Posted April 12, 2015 #34 Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) I am confused....the posted menu shows the ultimate margarita is $8.95. Well under the Cheers limit. The margarita is $8.95 but note under the description....Upgrade to Patron Silver for just $2.00 more. That would make it $10.95 and not eligible for the Cheers program. :eek::eek:Better be a really good Margarita!!!

deborahjo Posted April 12, 2015 #35 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Carnival has found a way to beat their Cheers program in their favor. Drinker beware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splintz Posted April 12, 2015 #38 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Thanks for posting. By any chance do you have the menus with the price of premium brands? Kettle One was always $9.75. I'm assuming it's higher now. the new bar menus do not have liquor prices anymore. that page is gone. just their specialty drinks, beer and wine are on the menu.

DallasGuy75219 Posted April 12, 2015 #44 Share Posted April 12, 2015 the pirate punch is new, but at the same time they dropped the long island iced tea. Could still get a Long Island for the same price on the Splendor last month. My guess is they just took it off the menu because it was such a good deal. Given how strong they are (especially if the bartender is heavy-handed), I personally have nurse them more slowly than anything else. They'd obviously prefer to advertise a drink that is cheaper to make and that people have to buy more of to get the same effect as a Long Island.

Constipated Cruiser Posted April 12, 2015 #45 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Does this also mean that the $5 match play is no longer offered with the classic cocktails? I believe this still varies by ship. Not sure why it is not consistent fleet-wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird - although someone did post in that thread that JH said on 3/3 that Match Play would be back. Maybe it was on some ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
