maryhou Posted March 17, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) Just hopped online to order cheers package. It won't let me just order and pay when we get onboard, is this normal? I've bought it in the past and paid with my S&S card I thought. I have one aarp gift card and just ordered another today to cover it...... it will be here hopefully before we leave on 3/28. I was planning to use those to pay so I called Carnival and he said it's prepay only. hmmmmmmm Edited March 17, 2019 by maryhou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted March 17, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I am pretty sure we ordered at home for the discount and still had to go to the Lido Deck and get our cards. They had a Cheers sign up in the lobby but it was packed. They had all our info in the computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaxsMama Posted March 18, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 18, 2019 You pay when you order. If you wait until you get onboard you will pay the higher price. Hopefully your card gets here soon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNJCruisers Posted March 18, 2019 #4 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Whether you booked through a TA or a Carnival PVP, give them your discounted card information and prepay it that way. I prepaid using cards for my August of 2018 as well as my August of 2019 cruises back before the last price increase in Cheers at the end of 2017.

schazzy Posted March 18, 2019 #5 Share Posted March 18, 2019 To get it before the cruise and save around $6 or $7 per person per day, you have to pay for it when you pre-purchase it. You can buy it on the ship at any bar and it will be charged to your S&S account. From Carnival: The cost to pre-purchase CHEERS! prior to your cruise is $51.95 USD per person, per day plus 18% gratuity.

chipperberg Posted March 18, 2019 #6 Share Posted March 18, 2019 You can use that gift card to pay online. That’s what we do and that saves a bit as well. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they don't have time to enter the numbers and the pin associated so you have to do it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jnew2176 Posted March 18, 2019 #10 Share Posted March 18, 2019 As far as the DotD you get the alcohol for free but pay for the cup correct? After you buy the cup will they refill that for you? DW enjoys the different drinks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any drink served in a special glass/container is not covered by Cheers - it would be an extra charge, the whole drink price. If you want the DotD served in a regular glass (regular serving size), Cheers covers it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray98 Posted March 20, 2019 #12 Share Posted March 20, 2019 If you want to pre-purchase Cheers it is paid for at that time, not on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot to mention, but I see it was mentioned elsewhere - if you want the DotD souvenir glass/container, I believe you can buy it separately, sans alcoholic drink, for a lower price than the DotD would be if served in it. Someone else posted $6, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
