kam2718 Posted October 14, 2011 #1 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I bought some drink coupons off the carnival site and I was wondering if there was a way to view those purchases if I logged into my reservation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meyer2 Posted October 14, 2011 #2 Share Posted October 14, 2011 No, there isn't. I always just print my email to have as proof just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusinpsychRN Posted October 14, 2011 #5 Share Posted October 14, 2011 You can use the coupons to get the $8+ drinks but you'll have to sign for the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starshine74 Posted October 14, 2011 #7 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I am also very careful with my cash lol I buy the drink coupons to take the edge off the price of the drinks for myself. I know I am still paying 8.00 but it looks so much better to only have about 2.00 on your SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtdlmc Posted October 14, 2011 #9 Share Posted October 14, 2011 So really no benifit to buying them eary for yourself? Darn Im a tightwad thought i could save some cash...lol You save the 15% gratuity on the face value of the coupon - so about 82 cents if face value is $5.50. Will have to pay the price difference and 15% gratuity on the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinchem Posted October 14, 2011 #13 Share Posted October 14, 2011 OK, what are drink coupons and is there any benefit to buying them? Thanks. They are prepaid and include the 15% gratuities that would be additional otherwise. Most importantly they give you a reason to try the absolutely delicious Red Frog Beer!!

deborahjo Posted October 14, 2011 #15 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I love the Drink Coupons. You can have that foo foo drink put in the smaller hurricane glass for the cost of one coupon and no extra cost. Have done many times and no problem. Yes they are smaller but prepaid for.

zenful6219 Posted October 14, 2011 #16 Share Posted October 14, 2011 OK, what are drink coupons and is there any benefit to buying them? Thanks. You can also save about $0.80 per drink depending on the final cost because the 15% gratuity is already built-in to each coupon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.Oceanlover Posted October 14, 2011 #17 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Hey John how is that red frog beer? does it taste moe like a ale? anything has to be better than canned beer... Yes "thirsty frog beer" is a heavier darker beer. I had like 5 of them watching the football game in the sports bar. Knocked me for a loop but I am not a big drinker. I thought it was pretty good.

Blurgh Posted October 14, 2011 #18 Share Posted October 14, 2011 99.9% sure that Thirsty Frog Red is Bud American Ale. And it would make sense for both companies. So it's not particularly strong or heavy, they probably just give you a big 'ol portion of it. Actually wanted to see what the Bud American Ale tasted like, so this would be a good opportunity.

Meyer2 Posted October 14, 2011 #19 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I like them for the fact I can buy them ahead & I don't feel like we have a major S&S bill at the end of the cruise. I know not everyone likes messing with them, but for us, it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they are smaller but prepaid for. was that with the new bar menu since the end of 2010? I used to use the drink coupons--for that reason you stated. But since the prices went up they are no longer worth it for me. Too much math calculations to do to make sure I am not being ripped off. Those drinks are now 6.75 plus 15% 7.25 is the fancy frozen drinks-- those are the ones I used to get for 4.95 2 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amcjeep4life Posted October 15, 2011 #23 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Wouldn't it just be easier to put the money on your S&S before you sail? why go thru all the hassle of having to remember to take the coupons with you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
