Robpuffdaddy Posted February 27, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I have one specific question on Cheers and it relates to the morning we get off the ship. Will I be able to go to to the Java Blue coffee shop on the morning before we leave the ship and get our coffee and be covered by Cheers? I am not looking for any alcoholic drinks that morning, just my coffee. What are your recent experiences with Cheers and the coffee bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz-s Posted February 27, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 27, 2023 No, Cheers ends at last call on the night before debarkation. If the coffee shop is open at all on debarkation morning, it will be on a cash basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schoifmom Posted February 27, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Technically, @mz-sis correct in that you cannot use Cheers after 6am. However, YMMV. We have received our morning drinks from Java Blue on our way off the ship and they were counted under Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted February 27, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 27, 2023 As long as you had cheers on day 1, you can get coffee on cheers on debarkation morning. Debarkation morning counts as the part of day 1 before you got on this ship. Ports like Galveston and New York that don’t have cheers on day 1, you can’t get the cheers coffee on debarkation day. Other ports you can. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcearth Posted February 27, 2023 #9 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Just off the Mardi Gras this past weekend. I was able to use Cheers on debarkation morning at JavaBlue. However - note 2 things. 1) They did not permit any alcohol drinks on debarkation morning, only non-alcoholic ones (specialty coffees, Powerade, soda, etc.), and 2) Since we were in a US port, tax was charged on the transaction. Hope this helps! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-train Posted February 28, 2023 #10 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I used Cheers at Java Blue on Horizon out of NYC on debark morning. They even gave me bottled/canned drinks to take with me. So YMMV in every case I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BoozinCroozin Posted February 28, 2023 #12 Share Posted February 28, 2023 There is just no alcoholic drinks on debark morning to my knowledge. Coffee is fine. My wife did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeinaz Posted February 28, 2023 #13 Share Posted February 28, 2023 ah ok. i have to remember that I can get non-alcoholic drinks. I was so disappointed that I had to pay cash for my bloody mary. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlphn501 Posted February 28, 2023 #14 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I have had it go both ways. Most times I was able to use my Cheers at the coffee shop for an iced latte. One time I had to pay cash. Both times I was charged a little extra port taxes (bc we were back in our homeport). I thought maybe the one time I had to pay cash was because it was passed the cutoff for the day (which I think is 6am), and that was one time that were delayed getting off the ship, so likely hanging around longer.

If you can’t use cheers for alcohol day 1 they don’t sell you cheers day 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc31063 Posted March 1, 2023 #18 Share Posted March 1, 2023 NCL allows you to use beverage package on day1 out of NYC. Why not Carnival? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because either NCL flouts the law regarding NY State taxation of the sale of alcohol, or they simply absorb the added costs in their overall cost of operations and pay what they estimate to be the proper stamp taxes (or whatever they are considered).

Although we purchased cheers-- its not good until 6am on day 2 not good at all that first day-- not even once you get to international waters So i would think that last day would be treated like the first 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
