Cheers Package Question

[pdilme92]

Hello all!

 

I'm fairly certain I know the answer to this it's just so different I want to make sure!

 

In the past on the cheers package when I got it (2016) it included drinks up to $10 menu price. No bottled water (if I remember right), energy drinks or coffee.

 

Now i'm reading it covers any drink up to $50 dollars?! Also including specialty coffee, energy drinks and bottled water too? If thats the case i'm drinking top shelf liquor and my wife could get some niiiice wine on this trip!

 

 

Like I said i'm pretty sure i'm reading this right but it is just such a big change I want to be sure!

 

Thanks!

Yes, it's true. But don't let your wife get too excited about the wine. Very few selections of wine are offered by the glass. They run from about $9 to $13 a glass. They're alright but the really good ones are only offered by the bottle, which are not included (but you can buy them at a 20% discount with the package.)

Im staring to wonder the same thing! From what I can tell the most expensive you can get is around $15-$20 so I wonder where they get $50 from? Maybe it just looks good and get people like me excited :'):beer-toast:

I've read they have a 40.00 glass of champagne you can get in the Steakhouse.

[watermelonqueen99]

Yep. Cheers is the best value on the ship. Drink up, and have a great cruise. Lol :D

[cruise_everywhere]

Yeah $40 in the steakhouse bar is the most expensive - you can also get top-shelf liquor (Grey Goose XO, etc.) in your drinks at the Alchemy. I hear the Red Frog Bar also has a decently expensive rum but haven't tried for that yet - not $50 but around $20 for a pour.

8 year sing barrel Bacardi was $18 glad to see that it is now included!

I asked for top shelf on most of our drinks. Much better plan than in the past. Between drinks I fit in several milkshakes. Next cruise I'm heading to the steakhouse bar just to see what they offer in the $40+ range.

Do you know if you can just go up to the bar in the steakhouse or do you have to have a dinner reservation?

[poz222]

You can go to the steakhouse bar without dining.

Me thinks, Me is headed to the Steakhouse for a $40 glass of Champs!!

[coevan]

champs?

[pdilme92]

champs?

 

champagne, earlier someone commented that there is a $40ish dollar glass of champagne only at the steakhouse.

[JaxsMama]

That $40 glass of champs just made me extra excited for my steak dinner!

Bummer. The only reason I purchased for my cruise Sunday is to get better wine [emoji32]

Was on the Sunshine last week and had a $60 shot of Hennessey from the Steakhouse. So had to pay the $10 extra.

 

Also had a $50 glass of Remy Martin on the Pride back in April, again from the Steakhouse.

[EmeraldCoastCruisers]

Anyone know if they have Johnny Walker Blue on the ship???

Don't worry too much about the wine. It will be acceptable. And FYI I don't think any of the cruise lines offer "great" wines in their packages. We think Carnival's included choices are as good as the other lines.

 

Have a great cruise.

[cruisiebear]

So, you can go to the Steakhouse Bar without having dinner reservations if all you want is a drink ? Cool, I didn't know that.

The wine on the ship is not good. They tend to push the Layer Cake which is horrid... They have some decent Pino Grigio if she likes that.

Agree, I like the Ecco Domani Pinot Grigio.
