steveut1979 Posted December 12, 2020 #251 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I know that’s why it was offered to us. Could be other reasons as well. Code Ru2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bstel Posted December 12, 2020 #252 Share Posted December 12, 2020 just did some mock booking comparisons with the RU9 code and it seems the RU9 is now more expensive than just booking the room and buying cheers under a normal booking. crazy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stellarose Posted December 12, 2020 #253 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I just hope that we sail next December so I can use the drink package. we all might need one. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeBrew Posted December 13, 2020 #254 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I got the email about it, but did not pursue it, I am lucky if I drink more than 3 (alcoholic beverages)a cruise anyway. I drank enough for 10 people in the Navy, I like to think I have outgrown it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted December 13, 2020 #255 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Maybe the first offers were just better no matter the code? I saw someone say their offer was only $50 pp more. Haven't seen any that low lately. I think they are testing how high they can go before people dont book the drinks offer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB2VA Posted December 13, 2020 #256 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Even though this is for the Cheers program, it seems to come through the Casino promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomCruise48 Posted December 13, 2020 #257 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Just did a mock booking for 7 day Mardi Gras using my RU1 code. Extra cost for Cheers promotion was $110 total or $55 per person for the entire cruise versus Early Saver. DW and I are not drinkers, so this is of no interest to us. BTW, I have never spent a penny in the casino, so mine was not a casino offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is by far the best cabin I've ever had, including various types of balconies. I'm still irritated that Carnival moved the Freedom away from Galveston. It was the only Scenic View left. It was that or a Cove Balcony on a different ship. The videos of the cabin sold me. It is on the Lido Deck (9). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drsel Posted December 13, 2020 #259 Share Posted December 13, 2020 RU1 is the best offer. A 5 night sailing is only $25 per person more than the lowest early saver price 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MeganGC1983 Posted December 13, 2020 #260 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Our RU3 offers gave us cheers on the Horizon (6 day) for $50 more pp and on the Mardi Gras (7 day) for $70 more pp. We are happy with those deals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drsel Posted December 13, 2020 #262 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Can the RU1 code with free Cheers be booked through any agent or ONLY from the Carnival.com website after logging in? I cant see the FREE Cheers package or RU1 code on any agents website. On 12/11/2020 at 4:37 AM, MeganGC1983 said: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received several emails for Cheers package. Both from Carnival and Players Club. I think they just use the same email databases sometimes.. I’ve never spent a cent in the casino.

On a 10 night cruise, the prices for 2 adults in a cabin are-- Super Saver lowest fare = $2008 Cheers RU1 code (valid till 8 Jan 2021) =$2128 (So it appears to be a great deal, just $120 more @$6 pp per day for Cheers). But wait, guess what--- Best TA offer for the same cabin from the bidding site = $1797 (no Cheers). So the Cheers actually works out to $331 more for 2 adults for 10 days!

We applied the promo onto an already booked cruise but kept the 600 OBC we already had for a cancelled cruise Thanks for sharing this. I contacted our PVP again, reminded her that our OBC was as a result of a cancelled cruise, and she applied the Cheers promo to our booking. In addition, she used some of our OBC for the $180 that was due for the promo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTO-Girl Posted December 15, 2020 #270 Share Posted December 15, 2020 We are Platinum but haven’t sailed with Carnival since 2014. We have never purchased the drink package before. We received the email with the RU1 code and booked the Mardi Gras for August. Our rate is only $140 total ($70pp) more than the early saver rate, so totally worth it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kona_wahine Posted December 15, 2020 #271 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Got RU9. Mock booking for a 7 day out of Long Beach was $440 per person more over a casino rate offer. Ya, thanks a bunch Carnival. 😶 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jevsy Posted December 16, 2020 #272 Share Posted December 16, 2020 We booked Mardi Gras for Oct 2021 almost when first launched. After seeing this post I checked our VIFP club and we were offered RU3 on a new booking. I contacted our travel agent (we live in the UK) to investigate if we could have it applied retrospectively to our booking, or if we could cancel the cruise and rebook with no penalty in order to get the offer. Our agent was unable to get hold of Carnival so sent them an email which they responded to a few days later, with an apology for the struggle we were having getting contact, and the offer of Cheers package for about $80 more than what we've paid for our cruise on an RX1 code! Accepted of course....no brainer 👏 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accepted of course....no brainer 👏 that was what we did. first I am glad we have connecting cabins for the teenagers. phew. so I asked my TA if we could get the drink package for our December 2021 MG cruise. Mind you we booked in March of this year . She said yes but it would add another 200 dollars to our cost of the trip and we would forfeit the refundable deposit-i think we had to up the deposit too. so basically for about 200 to say 300 more dollars to our trip - we got the package that would have cost almost 800 for two people. Im not a big drinker. BUT.... it was too good to pass up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
