cccer Posted October 20, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 20, 2016 They will be more than glad to take your money for your drinks. Grab a drink before you head on over so you can get at least one on Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHilla619 Posted October 20, 2016 #3 Share Posted October 20, 2016 You pay for drinks on Half Moon Cay, a la carte using your sign and sail card, regardless of whether you or not you have Cheers. Kind of stinks because your paying $50 for drinks on board, but while on the island they make you purchase them drink by drink and they do not get covered/reversed by Cheers.

Luke gs Daddy Posted October 21, 2016 #10 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I am getting cheers and plan on stocking up on some unopened beers and or getting LIIT and do away with the soda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc4125 Posted October 21, 2016 #11 Share Posted October 21, 2016 You might want to bring on a Yetti (or better yet the cheap Walmart version which works just as well) and order a few drinks every 5 minutes before leaving the ship - pour them in to the cup & you should be good to go. They really do keep cold for a long time even in the hot sun, and the larger ones hold a lot (especially if you only use the ice from one of the three drinks).

Unfortunately, this is the correct answer. You have to purchase your own drinks at all the other ports. Carnival does not make a distinction between their private island and anywhere else. I don't know what you want people to say other than this. Do what you do at every other port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janf Posted October 21, 2016 Author #15 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I was simply asking for information since this is my first cruise and I'm tying to decide if its worthwhile. The info on carnivals site says it can't be used in half moon Cay. Doesn't say anything about the other 2 ports. I had assumed you could use it there Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksmcdonald Posted October 21, 2016 #16 Share Posted October 21, 2016 FYI, Royal Carribean's beach day in Labadee, if you purchased a drink package, drinks are included on the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had assumed you could use it there Sent from my iPhone using Forums You assumed you could use Cheers at the port or on the ship while the ship was in port? When the ship is ported at HMC, you can still get drinks onboard with Cheers! You just cannot get them on the island, even though it is owned by Carnival. But you can't have thought you'd be able to get drinks at other ports with your Cheers! so I'm confused by that statement and maybe you're thinking you can't get them on the whole day, even on the ship?

sternfanla Posted October 22, 2016 #19 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Can you use Cheers for coffee or any drinks the day you disembark the ship or 6 AM is the cut off time? I thought i had read they let you use it on the day you disembark. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean0151 Posted October 22, 2016 #20 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Pre paid for drink package. Out of New York you will must pay for drinks for the first day of cruise. Even if you buy on board first day.... drinks must be paid for until 6 pm that night. Guess that is a New YOrk city law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n6uqqq Posted October 22, 2016 #21 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) Stock up a few unopened beers and put then in your 12x12x12 cooler. Carnival's assertion that they cannot properly keep track of your drink total on the island in this day and age is ridiculous. Four Foster's will give you the same as 8 twelve ounce beers and keep you busy for a while ;) Edited October 22, 2016 by n6uqqq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coevan Posted October 22, 2016 #23 Share Posted October 22, 2016 not true, when you buy a bucket, the beers are not open, except the one you were drinking. If I kept 5 beers open for several hours, it would lose all the carbonation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like CC's rule that people are not to copy and paste block text from other websites, yet gazillions of people here do it anyways.
