Jme4166 Posted November 7, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I thought I read in another post about that someone was able to make payments for the Cheers program. Is this true? If so how do you do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted November 7, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 7, 2019 A credit card is one way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted November 7, 2019 #3 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Carnival does allow a monthly payment for cruises where the total amount has to be paid in full 60-90 days before the cruise, as I recall. If Cheers is being adding to your cruise account at Carnival, then it may be possible to increase the monthly payment to incorporate Cheers. But you need to ask Carnival that question.

JaxsMama Posted November 7, 2019 #4 Share Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) No payment plans for Cheers. You have to pay the entire amount for all adults at the time of purchase. Edited November 7, 2019 by JaxsMama 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyFan33579 Posted November 7, 2019 #5 Share Posted November 7, 2019 We buy Cheers online every cruise. I have never seen an option for a payment plan when buying it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyh9900 Posted November 7, 2019 #7 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Make your own payment plan. The cheers package for my wife and I on our last 5 day cruise was around $600. If I wanted to make a payment plan, I could just buy carnival gift cards whenever I would want to make a payment on the cheers plan, and set it aside until you have enough to pay for cheers. If you do a little work and research, you'll save 10% as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaronm120 Posted November 9, 2019 #10 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Just curious, for those who bought It, did you think it was a good value? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on your habits, it can be *excellent* value. But the only way to know is to do the math. Bear in mind, you get unlimited bottled water, coffee sodes, etc., in addition to up to 15 alcoholic drinks per day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our 8 day cruise a year ago on Vista our final bill was 1,400.00. Cheers cost 900.00 We do enjoy ourselves on cruises. Start the day with 2 (Mimosas or Bailey's and Coffee or spiked coffee) 2-3 around the pool 2 pre-dinner (Achlemy) 1 with dinner 2-3 at night (shows or just walking around) 9-11 drinks over a 12 hour day . Mix in some Non-alcoholic (Water) and you are well ahead of the game. I'm not one that buys into the argument that you are OFF the ship for x amount of hours. Pax are still ON the ship a good 8 hours a day which is a little over averaging 1 drink per hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't buy it on every cruise, but when I do, it's an excellent value. It's all in the math. I not only drink more spirits than normal, but also more coffee, like before my night at the Alchemy Bar. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh this is exactly why I plan to order it next month. I’m not a big drinker but would love to try different ones without the guilt of it showing up on my s&s because more than likely I’m not going to finish it.

Absolutely! You also get the specialty coffee, large mineral waters at dinner, and sodas/juices etc. I often see people mention sneaking alcohol on board to save money but it detracts from the experience IMO. Hanging out at the various bars, particularly at night, is entertaining in itself. You meet lots of different people from all walks of life, have great conversations, and it's convenient not to have to worry about unexpected costs. Going back and forth to your cabin, worrying about mixers and ice, and not being able to enjoy the bars is a huge downside IMO. The social aspect has a lot of value. Also being able to order a few mimosas with breakfast, specialty coffee after breakfast, couple of beers with lunch, couple of power aids throughout the day, couple glasses of wine at dinner, waters at dinner, and evening night caps makes the cruise more enjoyable for my wife and I. For us it was worth it even though we don't hit our 15 drink max. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
