Purchasing water with Cheers Package

[heffa72]

So looking at the fine print of the Cheers package it appears I need to walk up to certain bars to get water if I want it for free. And if I want to get it at the store, I would have to pay.

 

Are they that strict that you have to go to the bar to get water/energy drinks and you can't go to the store? Makes no sense to me why they'd split hairs, so I thought I'd ask.

You can get the regular-size water bottles at any bar or lounge. It's just the large-format water (ie pellegrino) that you will not be able to get at the bars. You can get as many of the regular water bottles as you want in a day from any bar.

Yes it's true.

[heffa72]

I'm not sure. The stores on deck 5 (where the souviner shops are)...I'm guessing that's the only other place they're referring to when they say "outside the main dining room and specialty restaurants".

 

But I guess looking closer it says the 500ml bottles are at any bar so I guess I won't have a problem. I'm just making sure I can grab a lifewater or whatever and a bottle water for the room before heading to bed. But I guess it sounds like I can get one at any bar.

You are correct. CHEERS would not cover anything that is offered at the Fun Shops.

You do realize there's almost always a bar within spitting distance of the store/shop, don't you?

It wouldn't be a message board if I didn't see a snarky comment at least once in a thread. :rolleyes:

Silly question....but if you get 'Cheers'....and if you get a water does that count as 'one' of your drinks??

no it doesn't cover purchases from fun shops. but the bars are everywhere, and will probably always be more convenient anyway. i wouldn't worry about it.

 

if you are mostly concerned with a supply in the room, you can get a 12 pack for 3.99 delivered to your room before you even get there - or during the cruise...

I don't read it as 'certain' bars. It simply says the 500ml served in bars. Sounds to me like any bar will have them. And there are plenty of those!

 

You can also get the 1 and 1.5 liter bottles in the main dining room and specialty restaurants. I will be grabbing one of those for the room at night.

 

I can bet that most of the time, personally, I would be closer to a bar than to the store. :p I am assuming you mean the one that sells sundries and snacks?

Reminder that you can get speciality coffees and milkshakes now too...from coffee shop with CHEERS!!

 

If you milkshake as an added "kick" it will count toward your 15/day max. [emoji6]

[coevan]

even with the Cheers I would pop for the $3.99, nice to have water in the fridge for early morning or water on the night stand at night.

[hftmrock]

also know you can only get one every 5 minutes. this includes soda and water

[lele100]

I saw the coffee shop menu and it had 1 liter waters and pelligrino water wonder if that is included

Is the coffee at the coffee shop unlimited with the cheers program? I'm talking regular coffee not spiked. Thanks!

Do you know if you have to eat in the MDR or specialty to get the larger bottles or can you just stop by and ask the hostess for one?

No, but the bigger bottles are not included in cheers, they can be purchased at 25% off with the cheers package. You will have a bottle in your room when you get there, but if you open it you buy it.

[blondestickchick]

If I'm reading correctly, the 1 and 1.5 liter bottles in the MDR are actually included with Cheers. The below is from Carnival's website.

You are reading it right.

I have already bought the Cheers package for my husband and I. Does Carnival allow passengers to bring on Soda. It is my first Carnival cruise and I like having a diet pepsi in the morning in my room.

Yes, we brought a 12 pack of unopened cans of pop each (2 in total) and had no issues, they may just open to the package to confirm they are all soda.

It must be in cans, not bottles. One 12 pack per person. You do know that the Cheers package includes soda though, right. You could always get one at night and take back to your cabin....if they would give you a can as opposed to a glass w/ice? You could always ask for the can.

[SMSACE6]

and if you get a soda, it does not count as part of your 15 alcohol drink limit, correct?
