15 limit for all passengers cheers or no cheers.   sometimes they will allow you to go over if you are buying a round for friends.  5 minute wait between drinks on cheers.

Interestingly, I just reviewed Carnival's FAQ, and there is no indication of the 15 drink limit on the beverage policy.  It does make mention of it in the Cheers Program details...

 

Can anyone provide sourcing to where it is documented that it limited to 15 without Cheers?

pretty sure the 15 (alcoholic) drink limit is whether you have the cheers package or not. They don't want you stupidly drunk whether you are buying it with or without the drink package.

Thats what I thought too

Do you consider John Heald to be an official source? Because according to an article in TheStreet,com, he answered that specific question on his Facebook page. Here's a link to that article, which includes John's verbatim response that the limit does in fact apply to all passengers, whether on a Cheers package or not.

I do like John Heald, but he has been known to not always be accurate.  I would prefer to see this in policy somewhere.

 

Edited to add:

 

The Cheers FAQ very clearly states:

 

• Program allows for up to 15 alcoholic drinks, per 24-hour period (6:00am - 6:00am). Once the limit is reached, the guest will not be served ANY additional alcoholic drinks 

 

So I do find it odd nothing about 15 drinks is listed under the Beverage Policy.

I’m not sure about Magic, but they offer brewery tours on Celebration and Mardi Gras. By the way Butterbean 1000, did I meet you in Maryville TN at a mutual friends barbecue a couple of years ago?

Magic does not have a brewery onboard.

I also find it odd since I know i've read trip reports with people saying if you thought you were going to go over your 15 drinks on cheers then be sure to say you want to pay for you drink before you get to number 14. 

 

I also don't see how they can essentially limit someone to buying 15 drinks without cheers, because what if you're traveling with a group of friends and your buying rounds? Lets say you go with a group of 6 people and you buy 3 rounds, you're then over your 15 drink "limit" and they won't serve you anymore for the day even though you only had 3 drinks for yourself? That doesn't make much sense to me.
