Stupid question but here goes.  How much is Cheers! when I purchase once on board?  I have $600 on board credit ($300 for me & $300 for hubby) and want to use it towards Cheers!

Cheers is 5 dollars more per person per day on board(64.95 pp per day). The good news is you can now use that 600 dollars in advance to purchase cheers at the better preboarding price. When you add cheers to your cart and check out it will advise you of the ability to use your OBC.

Ask yourself this: if you are getting tons of bookings and are a publicly traded company with $30B in mounting debt, would you offer a discount on it?

If lowering price increases sales of cheers resulting in more revenue.... then yes

I really doubt it. I know Carnival is still struggling post pandemic to turn a profit and I feel like alcohol is probably the one thing they make the most money off of.

This is why the no more full bottles in the room, more money by the ounce.

Increased sales has nothing to do with it. From an Economics 101 standpoint, it is necessary to compare the Marginal Revenue to the Marginal Cost. Lower price, higher revenue is not always what it is cracked up to be.

Yes.... except the markup is so much on drinks that in the price range we are talking about, higher revenue is a suitable surrogate endpoint for profit. 

 

The only caveat is they need to keep the price of cheers above the level where, on average, customers pay more for cheers than they would if they had to pay out of pocket for drinks.

Empty cabins are by far the worst case.  Many cruise ship costs are fixed.  Staff, fuel, the mortgage on the ship.  Except for actual drinks poured are 100% variable, and maybe frozen steaks thawed and cooked.    Several of us are baffled by the RU1 promotion.  Is the idea to fill an empty cabin, or convert a guest to a regular Cheers buyer?  Or both?  Cheers is a lovely revenue stream I'm sure.

With the way things are going today Carnival will probably raise the price again on Cheers.

Its like $65 Per a day so depending on the length of the cruise its like $500 PP for the cruise.
