Colive18 Posted October 2, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I just received an email saying Cheers pricing is going up October 9 on 5 days and less sailings. Looks like it’s going up $10 per person per day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmarts Posted October 2, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Makes sense. Especially since alcohol is the lone category that hasn't been affected by inflation but let's go ahead and charge us more just because they can. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VentureMan_2000 Posted October 2, 2023 #4 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Cruises that are 5 days or less of fondly referred to as Booze Cruises... so makes sense for Carnival to increase the price on these sailings. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RD64 Posted October 3, 2023 #18 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Economics 101 - this purchase is considered to be inelastic because people will continue to buy despite a price increase. Similar to govts and excise taxes - governments will increase the percentage of the excise tax on products that consumers will continue to buy despite the increase - cigarettes, alcohol, gasoline, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailor75 Posted October 3, 2023 #19 Share Posted October 3, 2023 I've been on almost 50 Carnival cruises and never purchased the Cheers package, it's way overpriced (and I like to drink). I was just looking at the pricing before it goes up, $707 for 5 days, not a good deal; that's more than I spent on the cruise. I prefer the Vineyards package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent $340 for a 5 day a month ago. Was well worth it with everything you get outside of just the booze. Had a handful of $19 shots and would have spent over $1000 easily without Cheers. 15 Drinks X @$12 an alcoholic drink would be $900. So it is a good deal...

I like doing the Math... Assuming two people in the stateroom... $59.95 x 2 = $119.90 $119.90 x 0.18 = $21.58 ( Gratuity ) $119.90 + 21.58 = $141.48 $141.48 x 5 = $707.40 Edited October 3, 2023 by VentureMan_2000 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pellaz Posted October 3, 2023 #25 Share Posted October 3, 2023 As I read Carnival's press release, the price was increasing by $5 per day, not $10. It was confusingly written, so I could well be reading too much, or too little, into it. Either way, lock in those drink packages sooooon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
