Cost of mixed drinks

[RogBus101]

Hi,everyone, sailing on the Sunshine October and purchased the cheers package. What mixed drinks are 20.00 dollars or less?

Thanks for any replies.

[sanger727]

nearly all mixed drinks are $20 or less.  At that price point you are buying a nice glass of wine or a specific spirit.

Crown and coke included?

Carnival doesn't serve Coke products... so no, definitely not included.

I had a dark and stormy at the Alchemy Bar. I think it was $14. One was enough for the cruise.

I had an Old Fashioned made with Blanton's on Mardi Gras and without Cheers it would have cost $18. One of the more expensive drinks that I saw.

Only spirits that will higher than $20 are single malt Scotches , cognacs VSOP or higher and some higher end bourbons and whiskies

Hmmm....wonder if a Grateful Dead comes in under $20.  Could be my "free first drink" on our next cruise.

I always thought they had a limit on the cost of that drink, did they remove that limitation?

"Free First Drink" has a price limit, too (In my experience on Valor in July. They made my glass of wine "free" and charged us $14.50 for my husband's Manhattan.... though his was the "free drink")

They just changed the maximum to $16, plus gratuity.

Good to know. We were on board the first week of the change and everyone (including the customer service desk people) was confused.

Anyone have a drink menu with prices they could post?

The question I was replying to was about the free first drink, not Cheers.

It should.  I just looked it up.  Is it a sweet drink?

Carnival finally got with the times and changed it so it is now the first drink of the cruise.  Just have to make sure and remember so you don't use it for something small and regret it later on.
