Rare mamiamjo Posted September 21, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 21, 2023 We're sailing out of Galveston and will have Cheers but since it doesn't go into effect until day 2 can we get a fishbowl on Embarkation Day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartzcrew Posted September 21, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) Couple things, the fishbowl is not part of cheers(to my knowledge), its like a $40 purchase. But yes, you can get if when you get on board day 1. We are bringing ours with us for a refills!! Edited September 21, 2023 by bartzcrew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted September 21, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) In December 2021 on Vista I was able to purchase them which was significant because Cheers doesn't start day 1 out of Galveston. I'm pretty sure people have posted this year they no longer have that special on day 1 out of Galveston. I'm not saying they do or don't. I'm just saying I'd wait to hear from someone with recent experience out of Galveston before counting on it.

cruizinisthebest Posted September 21, 2023 #4 Share Posted September 21, 2023 What does Cheers have to do with it? Either you can get it on day one or not? You don't need Cheers to drink and it's not covered in the package anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmack9076 Posted September 21, 2023 #5 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Yes you can. Also if you go back with it on the last day of the cruise, they may also give you a box to put it in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my mind, in regards to Cheers, is BECAUSE Cheers doesn't begin on Embarkation Day, then THAT would be the opportune time to purchase a fish bowl since you have to pay for ANY drink anyways. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So day 1 you have to buy your own drinks and that special was a good value. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Despegue Posted September 21, 2023 #8 Share Posted September 21, 2023 But I suppose that Cheers prices out of Galveston are reduced and based on the amount of days that it is actually valid right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they adjust the price of Cheers to account for the days you can't use it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not to say it doesn't happen, but that is what Carnival says. So, Cheers is a valid player in the game, because if Cheers doesn't apply on the first day, can someone still purchase a fishbowl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there are drinks that are excluded where you would just use your S&S funds for. I'm thinking if you can't use Cheers, you would just pay that way. Thanks.

It isn't "you can't purchase a fishbowl if you have Cheers" it is you can't purchase a fishbowl WITH Cheers. That's 36.95 coming out of your pocket. Doesn't matter if it is Day 1 because you can't use your Cheers to purchase it. The only way I would think it would matter would be if you try to get refills. Maybe refills could be purchased with Cheers but obviously not on Day 1. Seems like there might have been a deal to get a discount if you had Cheers seeing some of the replies on this thread but that wouldn't work on Day 1 out of Galveston (Or NY).

I don't see that policy on the website. I don't know where you copied your info from but I got this from their FAQ just now. And as for "sharing drinks," I know people who have Cheers have gotten the buckets of beer (of course not covered under Cheers but according to your image, not allowed) and I haven't seen anyone say such a thing.

PayneAS Posted September 22, 2023 #23 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Well they need to get their ducks in a row then because they have posted conflicting information. It even says in the Cheers link that I posted that the bucket of beer will charge one beer to your cheers and the other five you pay for out of pocket. I will say it seems absolutely ridiculous that if you have Cheers you can't buy souvenir stuff. And personally I've had cheers and had no problem buying the souvenir cups. They are sitting on top of my cabinets right now in fact. I don't know if I'm remembering correctly but I thought I just had to pay the difference between what the drink & cup cost minus the $20 Cheers allowance. Why wouldn't they want to make MORE money by selling souvenir cups to people? Oh sorry, I can't sell you the fish head, you have Cheers. If it is actually something that is against the rules, it doesn't seem like something they enforce. I have no desire to buy the fishbowl but if I did I would totally test it out on my Vista sailing on the 21st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babygrljaz Posted September 23, 2023 #24 Share Posted September 23, 2023 I've gotten 3 fish bowls sailing out of Galveston on embarkation day. And yes i purchase Cheers. Haven't tried the refill on Cheers though. Might try it on my next one 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafsnation Posted September 23, 2023 #25 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Why cant you use cheers day one outta Galveston?? Other cruises can use it day one. Can you use the soda package day one? My wife has cheers for her only on a casino deal. I wonder if host will comp me and look at my sea pass card? bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
