kbh2 Posted March 2, 2016 #201 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I will be sailing on the Glory March 5 and have pre purchased the Cheers. I will do my best to take some drink menu pictures if they have changed and let everyone know how it goes. I am very curious what if any drinks they have over the $15 range.

Cruisin 4 Ever Posted March 2, 2016 #203 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I just got off the Splendor and Breeze from side by side cruises. We purchased cheers. I was very surprised when the bartenders told us uptake is VERY low on the program. On the Breeze which had 4500 passengers they average only 200 passengers who purchase cheers per sailing .

elli0314 Posted March 3, 2016 #205 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Does anyone know if you buy a bucket of beer or a bottle of wine with the discount, does it count against your 15 drink limit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haynes0428 Posted March 8, 2016 #210 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I know when you purchase the cheers program you can't use it until the second day for drinks containing alcohol but can you get non alcohol drinks on the first day with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommabear2Five Posted March 8, 2016 #214 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Bummer, I just got really excited, but the two main problems with the program, the 15 a day limit and the requirement that all in the stateroom over 21 purchase, are still there. I like additions, and don't really mind the small price increase, but it drives me bananas that I have to purchase it for DH, too. It's the only thing that keeps me looking at RCI cruises...they have the best drink package options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc4125 Posted March 8, 2016 #215 Share Posted March 8, 2016 So, I've pre-purchased the CHEERS packagek for my March 26th cruise. My question is where (if anywhere) would it show on my documents that I've purchased this? I can't find it anywhere, plus when I went online to my booking and acted like I was going to order it (again) it was going to let me. Should I be worried??

Hribal Posted March 8, 2016 #216 Share Posted March 8, 2016 its still $50 a day. you gotta drink A LOT each day to make it worth while. for me and the amount i drink whether it be soda, iced coffees, beer or mixers it is still A LOT cheaper for me to buy the drinks individually each day. Now if you drink a lot and have a drink of some sort in you hands all day long its worth it. Not to mention if you are off the ship doing excursions each day. We aren't drinkers but we like our coffee and the occasional drink. I think almost 60.00 per day is extreme for us light drinkers who want to drink coffee and an occasional beer. Does anyone know where the most up to date drink/coffee list prices with gratuity prices are? I would like to break it down to see which is the better deal. I am thinking it would be cheaper just to add money to our S&S card because we have 2.5 days of excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folsom Posted March 8, 2016 #217 Share Posted March 8, 2016 If they would only "enhance" the package to do a "staggered" liquor package like they've done in the ports with check-ins, I would consider cheers. I don't drink heavily enough to make the package as it is worth it. Set a $20 package with 5 alcoholic drinks a day... or better yet a total of 5 per day times the number of days you are on your cruise. Example: $20 per day for a 5 day cruise would give you a total of 25 drinks to consume for the cruise... only 3 drinks on a port day? Have 7 on a sea day! Have all 25 drinks your first three days? Pay for the rest of the drinks you want the last two days... Almost too simple to make sense, right? No. My wife would insist on me getting one of those "baby packages". Not worth the fight. -F- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RICKnVICK Posted March 8, 2016 #220 Share Posted March 8, 2016 does anyone know if you pre purchase the drink card, if you sail out of Galveston, are you allowed to use it the first day? The website is somewhat confusing. Thank you for your help! Vicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizzoufinal4 Posted March 8, 2016 #221 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Carnival does not charge you for the first day out of Galveston therefore YOU are responsible for ANYTHING you drink on that first day! example on a 7 night cruise you are only paying for 6 nights of cheers.

Virgincruiser510 Posted March 9, 2016 #222 Share Posted March 9, 2016 OK, so I haven't ever been on a cruise before and I'm confused about all this with the Cheers package. I'll be sailing out of New York in July on Carnival Sunshine. Does it mean that, if I want to buy the cheers package and I'm rooming with two other people, they have to buy the package as well? That would mean that each of us would have to pay $328.95 plus gratuities for our 8 day cruise (7 days of allowable Cheers usage) in order to have 15 drinks each per day. Have I got that right? What if we opt out of the Cheers package? Can we buy drinks anyway and if so, what approximately would the drinks cost? Thanks for your help.

Rare splash_in_the_water Posted March 9, 2016 #223 Share Posted March 9, 2016 yes. if one gets it, you all must get it...if none of you get it, you certainly can pay per drink otherwise.... If you think you'll do all 15, it's probably worth it, plus you get soda, waters, etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where your math went wrong, but Cheers for 7 days is $402.10 (49.95 per day x 7 days plus 15% gratuity). $349.65 without the gratuity.

Virgincruiser510 Posted March 9, 2016 #225 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Maggie, thanks. I never was very good at math. Splash, thanks for your response. Wow, seems pretty presumptive to think that if one person can afford that package, the others will have to as well otherwise no one gets it. Geez. I'm bummed.
