EMBFlyer Posted July 21, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Quick question about Cheers and Galveston. I know you can't purchase alcohol on the first day due to TABC laws, but does the rest of the program work on Day 1 (i.e. sodas and other non-alcoholic beverages)? I'm inclined to think "no" because you're only paying for 6 days. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The selection is a little limited and sales tax will be added to the price. You can also purchase non-alcoholic drinks the first day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe817 Posted July 21, 2019 #5 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Waiddaminit. If I understand this right, an adult(over 21) can get a scotch & soda at the local bar 2 blocks from the port, an hour before boarding, that they cannot order a drink soon after boarding? 😡 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only the Cheers program that starts on day two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Buck Posted July 21, 2019 #8 Share Posted July 21, 2019 We are from Texas & cruise out of Galveston often. Yes the Cheers card does not go into effect until day 2, but we have not had to wait until 6pm. I don't remember what time it was, but got it at the Casino bar, when it opened. Think that is around 11am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaded Lady Posted July 21, 2019 #9 Share Posted July 21, 2019 You will be greeted as you board a cruiseship in Galveston by a smiling young server offering to let you buy the Funship Special! You have barely even boarded when they're plying you with alcoholic beverages! As others have said, you can't use Cheers (nor do you pay for it) on day 1, but you can definitely get alcohol! As for non-alcoholic beverages, you can get them day 1 before Cheers but like the alcoholic drinks, you have to pay for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only get a unicorn now since Carnival could not find enough nationally certified therapy ponies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
