When did Carnival change the price limit for Cheers?

I ordered Blantons, which is known to be expensive. Even then, it was "only" $15.

This is really hard to believe, and that they actually carry Blantons

I was shocked myself. In the past, I had every once in a while seen it at a steakhouse. On top of the Steakhouse, Alchemy and I think Pig and Anchor had it. Not hidden either. On the shelf for all to see.

As was pointed out above if a drink is over the $20 limit you only get a 25% discount. Sometimes the fine print sucks.

Didn't get a 25% discount either even after discussion

Weird, I would think that is something that would be programmed into the Point of Sale system and would be automatically applied.

I have drank all the higher end scotch on the ships which have much better than other cruislines and have never been charged. 

 

Was this on Carnival? And did you tip well before moving to the higher end pours? I can see a bartender hooking up the good tippers 

[Stick93]

I generally tip if the server engages me. If they don’t I will take my meager pour and move on.

Agree but no such luck

I am probably going to get Cheers for out next Cruise in Jan 2024.

I was looking at the details and the website is showing $20 or lower for drinks
All spirits (including cocktails), as well as beer and wine by the glass with a $20.00 or lower menu price

 

How long has this been at $20?  I seem to remember $15.

Maybe I am confusing the $20 price with the 15 drink limit... who knows... getting old sucks.

Perhaps because costs of high-end liquors have gone up?

more of a scarcity issue vs cost. I haven't noticed an increase in Whiskey prices but because some bottles are rare, the secondary market (shady liquor stores/people selling on Facebook) has spiked
