bobjer17 Posted January 11, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2018 We have the Cheers package. We are moderate drinkers in normal life but drink our butts off while cruising. We both have a pretty high tolerance for alcohol so fifteen drinks will be fairly easy. But, if we somehow go over that and appear to reasonably sober and still standing can we then purchase drinks? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinov1970 Posted January 12, 2018 #9 Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) Quick question for those that have used the drink package, my wife likes the daily frozen drinks and mixed drinks. If she has the cheers package are the drinks in smaller bar glasses? She likes the souvenier glasses also so I'm torn if she isn't getting those also. Also I pre-paid for a bottle of champange to be delivered to state room for her birthday, will this be refused if we have drink package added?

You can get a 25% off bottles of wine if you have the Cheers package. Not sure if that applies to Champagne also. No you won't be denied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmichael1279 Posted January 12, 2018 #13 Share Posted January 12, 2018 The bartenders are usually pretty good about warning you once you're approaching 15 - a few times they even suggested I "buy a drink for a friend" - they're usually nice about it, as long as you're not stumbling all over the place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been my experience that we can buy empty souvenir cups for a reduced charge than those with a drink inside. Just ask a bartender for one and they will charge it to your sail and sign card. I hope that is still the case. And if so, you can still get them for your wife even if you have Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBallz38 Posted January 12, 2018 #15 Share Posted January 12, 2018 During our first cruise 2 years ago, my husband and I traveled without our kids so we bought the cheers package. 1 night my dh reached his 15 drink limit. The waitress said he didn’t appear drunk and allowed me to order a beverage which I gave to him. I know this isn’t the policy but honestly he was fine.

d12j28 Posted January 12, 2018 #19 Share Posted January 12, 2018 You can also order booze to have in your room. I always get a couple 4 packs of beer before the cruise and it's in the room when I get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pellaz Posted January 13, 2018 #20 Share Posted January 13, 2018 The bartenders are usually pretty good about warning you once you're approaching 15 - a few times they even suggested I "buy a drink for a friend" - they're usually nice about it, as long as you're not stumbling all over the place Two cruises ago we had Cheers (3 of us in a cabin), and we were routinely dining with friends of ours who did not purchase Cheers. Not only did our MDR waiters ply us with bottled water and sparkling water all night, but they allowed, nay, encouraged us to get drinks for our friends at the table despite the "no sharing" rule. So yeah, they can be really "nice about it." :D :halo: (Needless to say we tipped them handsomely.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
