Changes to CHEERS Program – Carnival Cruise Lines

Editorial Summary

The creator provides an update regarding changes to the Cheers liquor program offered by Carnival Cruise Lines. The Cheers package is designed for passengers who wish to pre-budget for alcoholic beverages and includes various non-alcoholic options such as specialty sodas, zero proof frozen cocktails, juices, specialty coffees, and energy drinks. It also covers bottled water and certain non-alcoholic beverages served in bars and lounges. Additionally, the package provides a twenty-five percent discount on specific high-end spirit cocktails, wine, champagne, and liquor classes. The primary change discussed is the reduction of the drink coverage limit. Previously, the program covered drinks up to a fifty dollar menu price, but the new limit is set at twenty dollars. The creator notes that this change primarily affects more expensive wines, spirits, and champagnes. The program costs fifty-one dollars and ninety-five cents per day when purchased in advance, though the price increases if bought onboard. A fifteen percent gratuity is automatically added to the purchase. The program is not available on two day cruises, charter cruises, or cruises departing from Australia. For those sailing out of New York, the first day of sailing is not included in the program coverage.
