4bythebeach Posted February 19 #1 Share Posted February 19 It has been quite some time since I last cruised Carnival. My March cruise shows the cheers beverage pkg at $69.95, is it usually the same price onboard? Does it ever go on sale in the planner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sparks1093 Posted February 19 #2 Share Posted February 19 It typically costs less if you order beforehand. I've never seen it go on sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree.critter Posted February 19 #3 Share Posted February 19 It went on sale once, was a 20% discount if I remember right. Pretty sure the year was 2013 as that was the only time I purchased it. Best to purchase prior to the cruise, once you’re on the ship the price is higher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz-s Posted February 19 #4 Share Posted February 19 Odds are much greater that it will increase in price rather than go on sale if you ask me. Carnival has been hiking the price of their add-ons every few months here lately. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgwscruiser Posted February 28 #5 Share Posted February 28 Price is 10% higher when you book on board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdr69 Posted February 28 #6 Share Posted February 28 Yes like everyone mentioned its cheaper to purchase online before your cruise so technically its always on sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserNC Posted February 28 #7 Share Posted February 28 If you are eligible to use the AARP gift cards, it's equivalent to getting 10% off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ober134 Posted February 28 #8 Share Posted February 28 No. No sales on cheers for many years. Your best bet is to purchase in advance using discounted gift cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're always available now and they're E-gift cards now, they're not mailed any longer. You can also find deal to join AARP. Chase often has cashback offers on their cards and check the shopping portals, they usually have offers... I just made $2 on renewing my membership! 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen them not on sale when I needed them, and I've been purchasing them for years. I don't spend a dime on Carnival without using an AARP gift card. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between that and my normal kickback from a TA I can usually save 15% or so on the total cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sparks1093 Posted March 1 #14 Share Posted March 1 Where does AARP hide the gift cards? I searched the site several times with no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to go to the awards site: https://www.aarp.org/rewards/redeem/#sort-by=default Plus this is a great reason to pre-pay tips, you can discount them 10% too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
