geoburm Posted September 17, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 17, 2014 We are going on the Sunshine in November and are planning on getting the Cheers program and was wondering if anybody had any good tips/tricks/secrets they would not mind sharing on how to get the most out of the Cheers program, whether it be financially, drinkwise or whatever. I have read most of the threads for the Cheers program, but, really have not seen that many with tips/tricks/secrets for the Cheers program. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

gardengirl2011 Posted September 17, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 17, 2014 If you get a classic cocktail you can take your receipt to the casino and get a $5 match play. In a day that's a lot of free money they are giving back to you. You do have to make a $5 bet with the match play . Good at any table game.

If you are having a light night you and whoever else is on the program grab a beer every 5 mins till you max out and put them in the fridge so if you have a day your limit is reached you have back up... Its been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tutontow Posted September 17, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Stay hydrated and avoid acetaminophen (Excedrin and Tylenol) at all cost. If you really want to protect your liver take milk thistle and alpha lipoic acid every day. I am the voice of experience. I love beer and bourbon. That is great advice about the $5.00 match play and the classic cocktails. I am here to tell you "The Cruizer" is mmm mmm good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d-lite-n-cruisin Posted September 17, 2014 #8 Share Posted September 17, 2014 $5 match play is the way to go!! On our 7 day on the Dream in December 2013, my wife and I accumulated 43 of them. That is $215 in match play. I pulled out the matching money in chips and played all 43 of them. When I was done, I had 24 wins for a profit of $120. Which was promptly spent on a watch for the wife:eek::rolleyes: I LOVE this Carnival promotion!! I imagine if your really tried, you could almost pay for the Cheers program if the cards were right and you only drank the qualifying drinks.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been done. I like this idea. Even in an ice bucket if you don't have a fridge, it would be good to have some beers in the room when I am there instead of going up to get one. Now if it wasn't illegal to smoke outside on a balcony.... sheesh. That would be perfect.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikester Posted September 17, 2014 #10 Share Posted September 17, 2014 If you are close to your limit, ask to purchase drinks or buy a bottle of wine. Once you hit the 15 you won't be able to buy any drinks. Really, the best tip is to drink enough so you break even. You don't have to have 15 daily.

stuart2val Posted September 18, 2014 #12 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Totally love the idea of unopened beer. Has anyone really done this? Yes, I did it one night on our cruise in December. This time I'm going to do it every night I have drinks left. I took 2 beers and an angry orchard back to the cabin :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlb76 Posted September 18, 2014 #13 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Im thinking HMC and Grand Turk might be nice places to walk off unopened beer. Just need a cooler and ice and we would be set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomarvin Posted September 18, 2014 #16 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) great idea about taking them to HMC. My kids bought the cheers program but it is NOT good on HMC. They paid around 30+ for a bucket of beer. Next time i will tell them to put a couple away each day and take them with us.

mzlinda Posted September 19, 2014 #17 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Besides beer, what else can I take back to my room unopened? I don't drink beer at all but I like to have a drink in my room when getting ready for dinner and I really like the idea of carrying something off the ship to drink at Half Moon Cay. Do they have wine coolers or mike's hard lemonade or something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKF97 Posted September 19, 2014 #18 Share Posted September 19, 2014 They have Mike's and hard cider Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzlinda Posted September 19, 2014 #19 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Fantastic. Thanks for the quick response. I've been on the fence about whether to get the cheers program. I can't imagine that I'll drink more than 5 or 6 drinks most days but I usually get the soda card anyway and if I can set aside a few Mike's for the island too, then it seems worth it.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums You can also ask them for an unopened can of Coke, Sprite etc. some might not give it to you, but some will. Also, with the match play. I am thinking even if you dont want to drink anymore/dont want an extra canned or bottled drink, you could order some extras just to get the coupon. Won't cost you anything more to request an extra cocktail and you have $5 to use for an increased bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracyelln Posted September 19, 2014 #23 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I was under the impression that the classic cocktails for match play had to be purchased at the casino bar. Is that correct? Can any classic cocktail purchase receipt from any of the bars be used for match play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utkikr21 Posted September 19, 2014 #24 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Buy the pre-cruise cooler with beer, cups, koozies, and a bottle opener and find a bartender who is willing to hold yoru card for 25 mintues and fill your cooler with 5 unopened beers!!

I took 2 beers and an angry orchard back to the cabin :) Great. I was going to ask about angry orchard or some other type of cider beer, which is the only kind I drink. So I can order them throughout the day, unopened and store them?? Can you get buckets of cider using Cheers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
