me and DH get it! works for us! love trying all different type drinks......... have hit limit before on seadays, not hard to do....... bloody Mary's in morning, beers afternoon, pre-dinner cocktails, special shot in dining room, special coffee, drinks in show or piano bar, drinks in casino.............

[ASchaff]

We do not get it. It is WAY too expensive, and there is no way we would drink enough to feel it was worth it.

[evandbob]

I'm getting free drinks in the casino on my next cruise, but all that means is some diet cokes and maybe a virgin Mango Madness......been over 3 decades since I've had booze.

[kdawg954]

Just seems like you pay for a cruise . . . . one set cost . . . lets say $1500 for a 7 day Caribbean cruise.

 

Once you factor in Cheers, gratuities, port excursions . . . you've spent that same cost. Just too much for me and DW.

[cruising maniac]

I'll take the free drink package on Celebrity or Norwegian but I am not paying that much money for that little amount of liquor. So, that would be a no for us.

[singbluesilver1]

Our upcoming cruise was free so we don't mind splurging for booze

I know when John Heald does his "quickfire questions" on facebook every sunday - there is a person, with John's approval, that does a survey with all the questions. It would be great if the cheers question was asked and also another one asking "how many would purchase cheers if there was a "shared" or "light" option available. Personally, I believe there are many, many people who do not buy cheers because of the "everyone" in the room has to buy policy. But if you could offer a smaller package - I believe the bottom line would definitely go up.:rolleyes:

[GUT2407]

Not sure anyone here knows the answer.

We did Cheers once and thought that it was too restrictive because of the types of drinks that I prefer (I like frozen drinks with floater shots, and also had trouble getting single pours in a doubles glass), so I swore we wouldn't do it again. We always have "Drinks on Us" in the Casino, and DH told me to get it this time. So many people have free drinks in the casino by day 2 at this point, you can spend $100 waiting for a drink sitting at a machine. I'd rather get up and get a drink at the bar, plus this time we're sailing on the Magic instead of the Fantasy so there are more specialty bars.

I know another thread on Cheers but was wondering if anyone knew the percentage of non- cheer users and Cheers users. Would be interesting to know

 

Carnival certainly knows.

 

Number of Cheers-buying passengers divided by number of non-Cheers-buying passengers.

[Tree Hugger]

We generally get cheers, but won't on this cruise because I'm pregnant. :)

 

 

Sounds like one might have begat the other:D

We bought it our 1 st Carnival cruise I drank different drinks and drank at least 8-10 drinks per day. This time (end of December) I am buying Baileys/Tia Maria? for room . I am also bringing 2 bottles of wine . Last time I parked the car and my husband checked the suitcase with 2 bottles of champagne. I got a nice letter that said you can not put in checked luggage . This time I am carrying on

I just purchased The Cheers for our upcoming cruise.

(Our 3rd time buying Cheers.) Out of Galveston.

 

Only charged for 6 days of 7 day cruise. If anyone is wondering. Cheers not available the first day I guess.

 

I love trying different drinks that I otherwise would not. White Russian after dinner is YUM. And the Chocolate Martini and many more.:p

 

10 more days.

[BoBandy]

Cheers all the way!

[emod20]

If I am doing my math right 9 beers at $5.95 is the $50 price of cheers so 9 or more a day you break even or ahead . that's not hard to do on vacation. Plan on doing it in nov

[momdaughterondestiny]

Last May there were 14 of us and we all did cheers and we all had at least enough to drink to justify the price and some had all 15 of their drinks lol I like not having to worry about a huge bar bill at the end of a cruise so I will do cheers package from now on.

[tphitman]

We do most of our drinking in the casino and they give it to us for free. No Cheers for us.

[Bob NC]

While purchasing Cheers on our last cruise in January, I asked the bartender what percentage of passengers purchase.

 

He told me about 300 per cruise purchase Cheers.

[cls624]

This really isn't worth it for most people.

You have to have a lot of drinks every day to make it worth while!

There's no way we would have that many drinks on the island days.

I kind of wouldn't say for "most" people. What's worth it for some may not be worth it to others! I think it depends on port days vs. sea days. 5-6 drinks in an entire day isn't much IMO

[txgranny]

We loved it saved me lots of money and i tried new drinks but the most i hit was 11 in a day and was not wasted as it was from 9am to 11pm with lots of food in between

[nursey000]

My 23 year old daughter and I are thinking of trying it. We are doing a graduation trip in May. I graduated May 2015, she will in May of 2016. We are only planning short jaunts off the ship as it is just the two of us. We like are fruity drinks, not sure if we will break even but I don't want to worry about costs and its her trip of dreams!

[Bsbllmom]

On a short 3 or 4 day cruise yes but not on a longer cruise.

I know another thread on Cheers but was wondering if anyone knew the percentage of non- cheer users and Cheers users. Would be interesting to know

 

 

Do you consider a non-cheers user to be anyone who does not purchase a Cheers program? Or someone who purchases alcohol but does not use Cheers for it? If it is anyone without a Cheers card, that includes kids, and that doesn't seem to useful. Or people like me who didn't buy Cheers but also didn't buy a single alcoholic (or non-alcoholic, actually) drink on their cruise. Which information are you looking to collect?

 

So, to add to your informal data collection. The group of 4 I just traveled with on a 7-day cruise:

1 purchased 3-5 drinks daily and did not get Cheers.

1 purchased 6-10 beers daily, plus a Bon Voyage whiskey, and did not get Cheers.

1 purchased 2 beers and did not get Cheers.

1 did not purchase any drink during the cruise, and did not get Cheers.
