Sugaree5335 Posted November 17, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 17, 2016 The website is no longer listing Alabama as a state where you can't get Cheers the first day. And when you add it to the Fun Shop cart, it lists all days of the cruise rather than the one-day-less that it used to charge. The law didn't change, so I wonder if they found a loophole?

tidecat Posted November 18, 2016 #4 Share Posted November 18, 2016 There has been some recent news about ABC (Alabama Beverage Control) cracking down on restaurants about outdoor consumption of alcohol, but basically ABC has left it up to the cities. Obviously Mobile has no incentive to prevent Carnival from selling alcohol, especially with the high sales and restaurant tax rates that Mobile has on the books.

Also increases their revenues for that first day. There are simply restrictions that Carnival did not want to deal with as RCL sells (and makes available the first day) all of their beverage packages in all of the so-called restricted ports. It seems that with Alabama making it easier to deal with Carnival will now offer it in Mobile. Maybe they will follow suit in the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
