FloridaCruiseGirl1210 Posted June 25, 2021 #1 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Hello, I was reading an article that said even if you have the drink package with your cruise, you can not use it on Half Moon Cay. Is this true? Thanks in advance for any insight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted June 25, 2021 #2 Share Posted June 25, 2021 This is true. Cheers not honored at HMC or Princess Cay. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProgRockCruiser Posted June 25, 2021 #3 Share Posted June 25, 2021 True. States as much on the Carnival Cheers page. My bold: CHEERS! excludes: > Beverages promoted and sold in souvenir glasses > Bottles of liquor > Beverages offered at the gangway > Beverages offered through room service and/or other in-stateroom beverage programs > Beverages purchased off the ship at any port of call, including Princess Cays and Half Moon Cay > Sharing cocktails, floaters, pitchers, tubes and buckets > Beverages offered through enomatic wine machines > Freshly squeezed orange juice served in the Havana Bar > All other beverage-related programs including merchandise, cigars and cigarettes > Food items Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsSweetie Posted June 26, 2021 #10 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I may or may not have seen people order an extra beer or three on days when they are on the ship and then bring onto HMC in their collapsible cooler. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Wanna_Cruize Posted June 26, 2021 #14 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I would suggest printing that out, and including the web headers on the page, so it shows the date printed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted June 26, 2021 #22 Share Posted June 26, 2021 "Why is the rum always gone?" Half Moon Cay is one of those places so amazing that I don't want to even drink a drop. The casino, on the other hand... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circlt Posted June 26, 2021 #23 Share Posted June 26, 2021 So do you have to have cash or credit to buy food and drinks on the island or will your sail& sign card work over there on HMC? It would be nice just to be able to charge stuff to the ship account. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Sail & Sign card is used for anything else. 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
