My husband and I got Cheers last week and we can both drink. I added our receipts and we did NOT end up drinking the amount we paid (despite hitting close to 15 Twilight Zones each one day at $7.25 per drink ... ) We had two port days where we were off the ship from 7am-5pm and 11am-7pm)

 

We mostly had those TZs, but also Bud Limes, Crown and Gingers, Malibu and Diets, Red's Remedys, Mango Swirls and then tried a ton of other drinks ... we would not get the program again. It was nice not to worry about what we were spending, but especially with tipping beyond what's included with the program, we didn't feel it was worth it financially. We drank more BECAUSE of it, we would have saved money had we paid out of pocket and just drank "normally"

Thanks for sharing your experience! I have been debating whether my boyfriend and I should get the Cheers program. It felt like each day my opinion had changed. But ultimately it was the thought that the days in port, I wouldn't drink as much on the ship. So it's nice to hear that you actually experienced this as well.

@pdmlynek Thank you for that very thorough review. It was extremely helpful. I've been stuck on the decision of which site I want to visit, and after reading your post, I'm siding with Xunantunich.

Thanks for taking the time to post that!

Has anyone bought the new Carnival Cheers Beverage Program? I'm going on a cruise in 2 weeks, and trying to figure out if it's worth it (I can't find the price at the moment, but thought it came out to about $40 a person per day). It feels like a great deal on At Sea days, but maybe not a great deal on Port days. Any advice is welcome!
