Yes, Cheers starts on day 2, so any purchases on day 1 are charged to your card

 Yeah, that's what I thought.  

Does this 1st day restriction apply to non-alcoholic drinks as well using the Cheers! program?

Datapoint

I have a 2/19/2022 7 Night on Carnival Vista

12/3 - emailed request

12/10 - approved for $100 OBC

I am in a Havana Aft Balcony (made the booking over a year ago 9/2020) 

I just came off a 6 night on the Freedom.  There were two elegant nights, and there was lobster in the MDR one night.  We went to Princess Cays (another private island) and Cheers! was a not available there.

Another thing, you must allow at least 15 minutes in between drinks. 

I just got off the Freedom a week ago and I had the Cheers! package.  The wait between drinks is 5 minutes.

I tried to get a second drink at a different bar and he had to run my card 3 times until the 5 minutes had elapsed and it would allow it to scan.

I have a Scenic Ocean View on the Freedom November 14, 2021. I made the reservation on 12/9/2020 and it was the only one available. I chose this particular ship and date because it was the only one with that cabin available.

I am also booked on the Breeze November 1st.

Even if the Breeze sails, the ports may not be open.

I do have a question about what the OBC can be used for and how it would be itemized since money is fungible. I have a promotional OBC in addition to the CCL OBC.  According to the T&C, the CCL OBC cannot be used for gratuities.

This benefit is not transferable, cannot be exchanged for cash and, cannot be used for casino
credits/charges and gratuities charged to your onboard account.

However it qualifies this as "charged to you onboard account" so these gratuities may be different than the gratuities which Carnival charges each passenger (I generally do not pre-pay these gratuities).

Just curious if the CCL OBC could be used for the per-passenger gratuities at the end of the cruise.

It may be wishful thinking, but I am booked

Nov 1, 2020 on the Breeze

Jan 30, 2021 on the Magic

I had a Jan 31, 2021 cancelled when Carnival took the Fascination out of rotation.

Good to know.

Yeah, they are not the coldest, I agree.

When I read the room details and watch videos, all of the balcony cabins have a mini-bar set up in the fridge.  I always bring a 12 pack of Coke on board and fill the fridge.  With the fridge already full (or maybe half full) with mini-bar stuff, could I just empty all the mini-bar contents to a drawer until after the cruise?

Going on the Breeze 11/1/2020. 

What happens to the deck chairs?  Do they get lashed down?
