KnightsofColumbus Posted June 8, 2009 #1 Share Posted June 8, 2009 How do the carnival bar credits work? Online it says they are 21.25, but you can't use the individual coupons to buy a drink more than $5.25 so you actually lose 25 cents if you get them. Is that true or is there something I don't know?

jenng1976 Posted June 8, 2009 #2 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Hi ... the drink coupons include the 15% tip, so they're actually a little bit cheaper than buying them the regular way. If you want a drink that costs more than $5.25, they just bill your S&S for the difference. Jenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojean Posted June 8, 2009 #3 Share Posted June 8, 2009 They work fine if you're ordering foo foo frozen drinks. No additional fee. You know Miami Vice:p or strawberry daiquiri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenng1976 Posted June 8, 2009 #4 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Also - I forgot to mention. If you order the coupons, they're not delivered until the 1st night at dinner. So, if you're buying the coupons for budgeting purposes, remember that you'll be putting the drinks on the 1st day on your S&S account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jks336 Posted June 8, 2009 #5 Share Posted June 8, 2009 hi knights, we also purchased the drink coupons as i like to prepay for most of my vacation prior to going. so if your drink is like mine will be $7. and change, then the 5.25 is subtracted from that and the balance will be put on your s & s. i rather have a 100 bal vs a 300 bal at the end of the cruise. and as the other poster stated, they will deliver first night at dinner if that is what you choose when you buy them. you can also combine the coupons together, ie: bottle of wine.

They don't expire so you can use them on your next cruise. We just kept ours and will be using them in Sept. Along with out new ones. We will also be getting the DOD card when we first get on the ship so we can have a drink at sailaway...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw the wine special they offer on our April cruise - 1st time we've seen that. We are going to take advantage of that when we go on our cruise on the Glory next month. Thanks for the help.

There have been some posts saying they don't have them any more but others saying they still do so if they do you can buy them at any bar. it is a card that buy for around $26 with tax, you get 5 DOD's, the first comes with the Carnival cup, and you can get the others in a regular glass or bring your cup and they give you a new one. For the poster about the coupons, you get those from the gift services, I just send them to myself and they are delieverd at the first nights dinner. I just like to have as much prepaid as possible.
