Questions about the My Awesome Bar Program

[cruisinJenF]

Sis had to take her receipts to the cashier cage to get her Match Play coupons. Did you? And if so, what did they tell you?

 

On past cruises the drinks that got the Match Play had a red stamp on them saying to take them to the cage for the $5 Match Play card. I saw plenty of people with receipts with the red stamp on this cruise but none of mine were stamped so I did not take them to the Casino.

So the program is 25% off for a bucket of beer or bottle of wine. Does the bucket of beer count as 4 beers out of your 15 and how does the bottle of wine count?

I just want to add i have some friends 6 couples that go on a all inclusive trip every year ( like sandals) i keep trying to get them to try a cruise but always the same answer wont do it because they dont want to pay for there drinks. now they have a good time my close friend got a 64 oz mug for the one this summer and they were more than happy to fill it as it was less trips. he never passed out (was beer in his case) couple days he was TIRED and just drank water most of the day never had trouble there entire group, did they see some people falling down drunk YES but dont you on all cruises. i am just saying i think that that is carnivals way of attracting some of these people. and i have seen there cost for these and lets say it is attractive, i much perfer cruise but they dont (but they have never been on one)

We are sailing on the Splendour in May out of NYC & I assume that drinks purchased on HMC are included?

I have asked this question before, and have seen it asked before on one of these threads, but don't recall seeing the answer by anyone with firsthand experience.

 

I know buckets of beer, souvenier cup drinks, and those awesome beer tubes from the RedFrog pub are NOT included in this program, BUT do these qualify for the 25% discount for purchases over $10???:confused:

My wife and I purchased this program on the Spirit a couple of weeks ago, and no one mentioned any limit of 15 drinks per day. The card they give you explaining the program does not have any limit listed either. We never had an issue with anyone saying we could not have any more drinks. We never went over 30 drinks a day between the two of us, based on our sign and sail statement, but one day we did hit 27, so I would guess I may have going over the 15 by a couple as my wife does not drink as much as I do, so the limit is not official, I think they probably use it as a guide for bartenders to help them stop serving someone who gets a little to drunk. Right now the program is on 4 ships... Have not seen whether it will be rolled out to other ships or not..

According to the Brand Ambassador you assume wrong.

I've been wondering this as well. :confused: Because I know you can't pay for drinks even if you're willing to. Does anyone know? I love my souvenier DOD glasses :D and would be real upset if I couldn't get them!!!! :(

According to the rules from carnival, Beverages promoted and sold in souvenir glasses are excluded from the program

 

Also, Sharing Cocktails, floaters, pitchers, tubes and buckets are excluded from the program.

Who it the Brand Ambassador?

[lbfluffy]

I'm wondering if you can just buy the souviner cup separatly if people want to. I have a ton of them in my cupboard, but hey a few more wouldn't hurt. Of course hubby might not like it. He says they are all the same anyway.

John Heald, Carnival's Senior Cruise Director!!!! :D

[kimmiec]

this program is already on the breeze which we will be sailing on in december.

Can you purchase the "awesome bar package" on certain days? or do you have to purchase it for everyday you are on the cruise?

 

and can you purchase it when you get on the boat or before you cruise?

 

thanks!!!!!!!!!!

You can purchase it any time during the first two days (day one being embarkation) - after that, it's no longer available to buy. You have to buy all days -- if you start on embarkation day and it's a 7 night cruise, you pay all 7 nights - you do not pay for the day you get off the ship (obviously).

[Sea__Shell]

Let's say you have 2 adults in a cabin but one of them has a medical condition and can not and does not drink alcohol. I wonder if Carnival

would except a dr's note to verify the information and just let the one

adult purchase the drink package.

Anyone have any experience like this?

I was wondering about this too. So if I decide to buy it on day two of my cruise then will I only have to pay for the remaining five days?
