10 Drink Card

[angiei812]

Good morning, we went on a Carnival cruise to Canada about 2 or 3 years ago (on the Sunshine). We did the Cheers package and struggled to get our money's worth. Now, honestly that was in October and going to Canada is not the hot blazing sun, sitting around the pool type of trip.

 

Anyway, while on the cruise, they offered a 10 Drink Card. I don't remember the cost but we felt it was a good idea and wished we knew about it, and that would have suited us much better. Has anyone ever heard of this? I've been trying to search for more information but can't find anything on it.

 

Maybe it was offered because it was late October and it was not a crazy drinking crowd, so they were trying to drum up some business.

 

Thanks!!!

Never heard of this, but I would like it!

Perhaps it was on a different cruise line. I have never heard of Carnival offering this on any of their ships, and the last Alaska cruise of the season is usually early in September.

RC does this on some cruises, never seen it on my seven Carnival cruises. I have not been on the Sunshine though.

I was on the Empress of the Seas in February and they offered the drink card. It was a 5 night cruise and I think they offered it on the second to last day or the last day, I don't remember. We ended up not getting it after calculating the cost. Can't remember how much it was. Sorry this isn't that helpful, but RC has in fact offered it recently.

We did a Canada cruise on Sunshine last October and didn’t see this offered. I wish it had been!

Carnival used to have this...like 11 years ago. I remember my mom getting them when I was in high school and they were such a great value, but they seem to have stopped doing it.

Up until Cheers and cruise cash started to be offered fleet wide you used to be able to pre-purchase drink coupons/tickets. A strip of 5 used to be about $26 and you would use a coupon to get $5.75 off your bar order. The great thing on this, beyond the about $0.45 per ticket savings was the auto-grat was calculated only on the overage.

Haven't heard about this on CCL, but we sailed Norwegian years ago and they did have some sort of "Drink Card/Coupons".

 

You didn't have to buy an entire weeks worth of drinks.

Been cruising Carnival since 2007 and never seen this. I did read a post awhile back about RCL having it. Been on Sunshine as recently as Jan and they did not have this option

The specialty coffee places on the Carnival ships we’ve been on have some kind of a punch card for purchases. We have never filled up a card but think it was like buy 10 get one free. Could that have been the card they were talking about?
