oz5 Posted March 20, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Just noticed you can pre-purchase 4 drink vouchers for $21.24 so that means $5.31 per drink, does anyone know what you can use these on??? Can you buy a vodka & coke for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Queen Posted March 20, 2011 #2 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I would love to know as well.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachh2o Posted March 20, 2011 #3 Share Posted March 20, 2011 We always ask for the house Vodka or Bourban etc., because if you don't and the booze/drink is more explensive than the value of the ticket then you are billed for the extra amount. Some bartenders will tell you this and others don't seem to "think about it." It is a good value and when, if you care to, have wine in the dining room you can use the tics for a bottle of wine. The waiter or bar server will let you know the price and the number of tics needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrdtail Posted March 20, 2011 #4 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I like the Idea. I'm to 5 4packs for my cruise in a few weeks...takes the ease off of the bar bill at the end.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haup9 Posted March 20, 2011 #5 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Each drink voucher states "Good for one drink not exceeding $5.75". We used them to purchase any alcholic drink we wanted and the difference was put on our S & S card. There are also soft drink vouchers available. There was no additional charge when we used those.

3 MO sisters Posted March 20, 2011 #6 Share Posted March 20, 2011 You can use them toward any beverage you want, if it's more than the voucher amount, then they will charge the remainder to your S&S card. Our parents bought bar coupons for our cruise as a gift from Bon Voyage, and we used them like this with no problems. A bartender did try to tell one sister that she needed to use two toward a DOD to cover the extra, but she vetoed that promptly! Our coupons were $23.00 ($5.75 x 4).

oz5 Posted March 21, 2011 Author #7 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Sounds like a good idea to get some of these. Thanks for all the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjiRodney Posted March 21, 2011 #8 Share Posted March 21, 2011 They made me whatever drink I wanted for the price of the coupoun. Or I could have paid more for a DOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jensing317 Posted March 21, 2011 #9 Share Posted March 21, 2011 We just got off of the Conquest this morning and I had purchased drink coupons for all of the adults on our trip. We had the worst time using them!! A lot of times they wouldn't even take them and when they would take them, they let you know that it was inconvenient for them to do so. There are very few drinks (a couple of beers and a couple of wine selections) that are under $5.75 so you still end up having to pay and when you get your receipt, they have added another 15% gratuity along with the 15% that the coupon says has already been added. :rolleyes: I don't mind tipping but when I have to insist that they take these coupons, then 15% is enough!

girlscruise2011 Posted March 21, 2011 #10 Share Posted March 21, 2011 $21.24? When I look they say $23. $21.24 is definately a better price. On another note, these coupons include the tip so that helps save somewhat. I bought some for my cruise in November 2010 and used them for buckets of beer. I had no problem using them and didn't notice any additional charges on my S&S account for any difference. I think it depends on the server. We always seemed to get the same server. I am sailing again in October on the Destiny and I definately plan on buying some to use again. I thought it was convenient and should cover my bucket of beers. Even if you have to pay the difference, the additional 15% should only be on that additional amount, not the total sale amount. Wish I could get them for $21.24 though. Wonder why the different prices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauren0309 Posted March 21, 2011 #11 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Where do you purchase these drink coupons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlscruise2011 Posted March 21, 2011 #12 Share Posted March 21, 2011 go into carnival.com and search bon voyage and the bon voyage link should come up. They have 4 adult drink coupons and 4 soda coupons so make sure you purchase the right one. The coupons are delivered to your dinner table on night 1 so don't expect them upon arrival. Those 1st drinks will have to be bought on your S&S card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder why the different prices? see, thats too much work for me- all that math. and Drinks are sometimes close to 9.00 which they will put that additional amount onto your sign and sail card. NOW i buy a 25.00 gift certificate and not have to think about what I am paying for a drink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oz5 Posted March 23, 2011 Author #15 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I just bought a pack of 4 to try them out. They said you can use them for house spirits or wine as well, so we will see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumorgan Posted March 23, 2011 #16 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I used $200 worth of drink coupons on the Glory last June. Not a problem anywhere on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
