Is Cheer's worth it?

Me and my finance are in the same situation. We decided to get it. We both drink some but not heavy. We will each have at least one specialty coffee every day, she will grab one or two of the sparkling water/juices each day, a few drinks by the pool, a drink at dinner, then a few drinks at the bar/comedy/night clubs. So we decided that instead of budgeting the whole time and worrying about what our bill was going to be we went ahead and bought cheers in advance to save the 10% and now we don't have to worry about how many drinks we get and how much the bill is. It was about $750 total for both of us on a 6 day on the Carnival Horizon. Yes, I think we could probably get by without the package and spend $600 or so, but I would rather have it and be able to splurge and try new drinks since it is vacation!

I am sailing on the Horizon and am considering the Cheer's program.  I do not drink alcohol frequently: I may have a glass of wine with dinner and a fruity cocktail poolside.  But on cruises, I only have between 0-2 adult drinks a day.  On land, maybe 1 glass of wine per month.  On the other hand, I DO drink lots of bottled waters (for port days), smoothies, milkshakes, coffees, teas, and juices.  Therefore, I was wondering if Cheer's would be worth it for me.  I know that most of the non-adult drinks I mentioned are included in Cheers, but not Bottomless Bubbles.  To give you an idea, here is a list of the drinks I would consume in 1 day of a cruise:

1-2 specialty coffees or teas (you know..so I'm not a monster in the morning)

1-2 non-included juices (with breakfast)

1-2 smoothie(s) 

1 Milkshake 

1 Cocktail

1 Glass of wine

2 bottled waters (get for port days)

 

Thanks in advance!

 

It could go either way. If you get one of each of the first three items you may be in the $35 range, but if you get 2 of all three then you may be more in the $45 or so range which is close enough to get cheers so you won't have to worry about how much you spend.

We went back and forth about getting it because my wife doesn't normally drink that much. Eventually we did purchase and without it our bar bill would have been around $1,000 for 5 days so I guess it was worth it.  One day at the casino bar we were drinking Grey Goose VX and at $17.50 a drink it adds up fast.
