Do we need to purchase Cheers AND Bubbles?

[Mdickey]

Thank you, in advance, for taking the time to read and respond.

 

My husband and I plan to get the Cheers package for ourselves and Bubbles packages for our teenage children. Do my husband and I need to purchase the Bubbles package in addition to Cheers in order for us to be able to have non-alcoholic drinks? If we order a non-alcoholic drink does it count towards our 15 drink limit? I get dehydrated very easy and suffer with dehydration symptoms, for days, if I am not very careful so I know I will be pushing fluids and drinking just as many non-alcoholic drinks as alcoholic.

 

I am getting the drink packages to simplify things. I don't want to worry about unexpected drink charges and I don't want to feel like I am counting drinks/charges for a week. I just want to relax.

 

I've been assuming that spending $400+ on the Cheers package, that Bubbles (or the Bubbles beverages) would be a given or included, but then realized I have no clue where I got that idea!

 

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

The Bubbles package is included with Cheers. You do not have to purchase it separately. Only alcoholic beverages count towards your 15 drink limit.

But you can not share the drink packages. You and your husband EACH must have one on just about all ships!. He cannot buy you a drink or bubbles with his card. Only he can use it. And waiters make sure he doesn't give his drink away. Maybe same for bubbles and your kids. Check this out before you buy. And each of you may bring a 12 pack of sodas as carry-ons when you board. So each kid can bring their soda with them as they board. Don't check soda as you may never see them again, carry them on.

Just a reminder for someone who gets dehydrated easily: Both Alcohol and caffeine are diuretics. As are fruit/fruit juice. Water is your friend. EM

As mentioned earlier ALL adults in a cabin MUST purchase Cheers if one of them does.

 

 

Bubbles can be purchase individually, and kids can get bubbles even if adults do not get any package.
