Rare MisterOJ2 Posted July 6, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I went too hard the first couple days and barely felt like drinking the rest of the cruise. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallow Posted July 6, 2022 #5 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Start early in the morning, pace yourself and get Propels, specialty coffees, milkshakes and all the other drinks that are available as well with Cheers. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballarinamom Posted July 6, 2022 #6 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Take advantage of the bottles water that is included. you can take it off the ship for shore excursions. If you dont get your free one before lining up to get off the ship and decide you want one, Be prepared to pay a lot 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Beach Bum Posted July 6, 2022 #8 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Hitting the 15 drink limit too early in the day. Also, not taking advantage of more bottle waters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost Packed Posted July 6, 2022 #11 Share Posted July 6, 2022 paying for it. Trying really hard, I celebrated when I finally hit 10 drinks right before midnight. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eli_6 Posted July 6, 2022 #12 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Don't drink too much the first day...especially if you are out of Galveston and having to pay for the drinks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray98 Posted July 7, 2022 #13 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Not hydrating enough. I don't recover like I once did and a few days of daily drinking will cumulatively catch up to me if I don't drink enough water and PowerAde's. Nothing can ruin a day of relaxed drinking like a persistent dehydration headache. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MississippiMom Posted July 7, 2022 #14 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Biggest mistake - Forgetting that the drink package allowed for a lot of specialty drinks in the morning. (And I'm a morning person.) It took me a couple of days to remember that I could get a fancy coffee (non-spiked or spiked) or a bottled flavored tea or an energy drink. Don't forget the milkshakes, if that is still an option on Carnival. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrqoisWtrs Posted July 7, 2022 #15 Share Posted July 7, 2022 If I'm getting a glass of wine, go to the steakhouse bar where they have the more expensive wines. And I usually order water bottles for the cabin, but have to remind myself not to buy them when I do cheers because you can ask for a bottle with each drink. Had quite the supply going in my cabin lol. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markntara Posted July 7, 2022 #18 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I'm an old school all day drinker, I hit my limit most days and then help my wife with her 15. Pace yourself the first 2 days, start early, finish late. They have plenty of hydration options to help with the pacing. Coco Water is included, order 1 every hour or so when you grab a drink, slam it at the bar. Take Propel to you cabin, drink it before bed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x lindsay x Posted July 8, 2022 #22 Share Posted July 8, 2022 ALWAYS upgrade to the premium liquor. If you get a gin martini make sure its the highest quality one, not the well booze so specify a Bombay Sapphire martini, or the gin/vodka of your choice. We became the Grey Goose screwdriver people at the Red Frog every morning. Getting to know the bartenders and tipping them well leads to heavier pours in some cases, not all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2PinaColadas Posted July 9, 2022 #23 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Yes, be sure to get the premium liquor when ordering. Big difference! Avoid drinks of the day-- they are pre-made with various cheap liquors. Hangover in a cup. Pace yourself. Drink water!! Grab a bottle before turning in at night, especially if you take morning meds. Try something new. Get a Miami Vice made with Grey Goose instead of rum for dessert at least once. 😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read all up on Cheers! but now I'm confused… do bottled waters not count towards your 15 drink limit? Or sodas/teas? Only alcoholic? Last couple of sails have been Royal & Celebrity so I’m not accustomed to the counting (though I don’t think hitting 15 will be a problem… if I paid for it, I’m gonna give it the ole college try!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
