helene109 Posted September 28, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2021 So bummed my adult kids room qualify for Cheers and my husband and I don’t! We have sailed more than they have. We all were just on the Mardi Gras in August. Maybe a chance it still might appear. My friends were on a cruise 2 years ago and gambled a lot and they get Cheers and their rate is 1/2 of mine but I know they gambled $3,000! Just bummed my kids get Cheers oh well thinking positive as this one is for May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dallasdan Posted September 28, 2021 #3 Share Posted September 28, 2021 What is their offer code? If it is RU9 it really isn't free cheers as the rates are adjusted to include cheers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crewsweeper Posted September 28, 2021 #8 Share Posted September 28, 2021 You can still buy CHEERS, just not the discount. These offers go out randomly. Unless in the past you've spent over the breakeven point for CHEERS daily rate or total cruise rate, you could be spending more getting CHEERS with the discount than just paying with S&S. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groundloop Posted September 28, 2021 #15 Share Posted September 28, 2021 We see this too, our daughter has only cruised once in the past and she gets far better offers than we do. Carnival knows they don't need to lure us with great deals because we're hooked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheryl and I both have the RU9 (joke) offer for Cheers. Our 29 year old gets either the RU1 or RU2 (can't recall). He might have a couple drinks per cruise. We might have a few a day (still not a large number). Carnival knows this!! Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom No idea how they pick and choose. We always buy Cheers. My daughter got the cheers offer in August too. Hers was RU1. It is so worth it as my husband loves his sugar free energy drinks. This 1is 8days ugh might have to buy some discount carnival gift cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
