pearose Redemption of Carnival MasterCard Fun Points for Cheers, bar, or credit?

[Jimmerpro]

Hello.  We are cruising this July.   I have about 20,000 FunPoints.   My wife already paid off the cruise with another credit card.

So I’m am trying to find a way to offset our bar bill with my 20,000 FunPoints.

Does anyone know if using my Carnival card to buys Cheers would work saving $200 by statement credit?

And if we are not sure about buying Cheers and we know we’ll spend $500+ on booze would buying a bunch of $25 bar credits be a good idea?

thanks in advance.
