Add a Floater/Cheers Question

[jlindemer]

There are drinks at the Blue Iguana that are $7.50 (Refreshing frozens). It says you can add a floater shot for $2.00. This would make the drink $9.50...still under $10. Is this possible under Cheers? Or, would it count as two drinks and I would need to wait 5 minutes before getting the shot?

No, floaters are not allowed under the cheers program. Carnival has them listed as excluded from the program

Thanks. I had missed the word "floater" when I was looking before. I just saw it now.

Are you able to purchase it for the $2 when getting the drink with the Cheers program?

Good question, don't know, probably depends on the server, bartender.

No. The only way around adding a floater to a drink you describe, is to wait 5 minutes and order the floater as a separate shot yourself. The shot goes against your 15/day limit.

Bingo. I've had it 3 times on 3 different ships and all had different rules.

It may depend on the bartender, however I have on several occasions added a floater to my drink, they charged me for the floater. Also the rules for Cheers, now state that you may purchase a round of drinks for friends one drink will go on Cheers the others are a regular purchase.

I think as some have said it depends on the bartender. They can easily give you the first drink and hold off on running the floater as a second drink. A little chatting and extra tipping goes a long way and once I got to know a few of the bartenders on my last cruise they were pretty good about giving a second drink before 5 minutes and just holding your card and running it after 5 minutes.

If what they described isn't possible, I don't understand how some people advise you to, circumvent, if you will, your 15 a day drink limit with Cheers by buying your drinks once you hit 14 and using the 15th and final Cheers drink of the day as your last? :confused::confused::confused:

So two questions....

 

Shots are included then as part of cheers?

 

Can we upgrade to premium liquors if the drink remains under $10?

Yes to both. On the Dream last week they demanded that we not use Skyy vodka. :p

I was actually pondering this same dilemma. So can I order my drink on my Cheers program and then pay for my floater and get it 25% off?? If I were to add a floater to my drinks under the Cheers program I could ring up my 15 drinks pretty quickly.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!
