First-Time Carnival Cruiser Tips: Cheers Package Must Knows

[@sherryllmitchell5671]

1…..Mimosas for breakfast, tequila shots and margaritas with top shelf tequila and champagne just because. I am drinker🎉

[@colletterevels-kp6yd]

Never bought the drink package until I went with my brother. He made sure to fill his Yeti B4 we got off the ship on port days 😂😂😂

[@jwyoungy]

I am not a heavy drinker but I get the drink package and it's very worth it. I probably average between 8-12 drinks on a sea day and 4-8 drinks on a port day. But I also get about 20 bottles of water during a 7 day cruise and maybe even a milkshake or two. With the alcoholic drinks alone it would be close to not being worth it for me but when you add on the water and any other non alcoholic drinks then it's more than worth it.

[@shanellreese7462]

We hit 15 a day baby!!! Now I must say we didn't drink them all. We gifted most to family on board. It was about 25 or so of us on the trip so it was fairly easy.

[@reneedominguez3633]

I don't drink but my cabin mates do They chipped in to pay for 1/2 of my package. So, I will be a milkshake, energy drinking, non alcoholic cocktail, specialty coffee drinking somebody!

[@LifeWithUsTV]

You can get the non alcoholic euphoric cocktails from the alchemist at the alchemy bar

[@tperry8148]

1. So worth it!!! Purchasing for everyone in your cabin over 21 is the only thing I don't agree with. It worked out for us because we were on a family cruise so on paper we put the drinkers in the room together and the ones that's not really drinkers in the room together.

[@spierceco]

Bout to go on my first cruise in January…really been on the fence about this package. My brother is coming with me and he doesn’t drink. Can’t wait to watch all your videos before my cruise. They help a lot

[@thomasbradley1254]

I found yall about a week ago and I'm absolutely lovin yall! I pray for the day where I can catch a live! 😊

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Welcome!!

[@remirez2k3]

my first cruse me and my husband got the drink package and i will get it each cruise simply for peace of mind, my big thing is i am a medium to heavy drinker 4-6 drinks day but i get coffees, sodas, water bottles and such a day

[@82habit]

I think it’s definitely worth it,I may not drink 15,but I’ll drink 10 or more a day so it’s worth it to me

[@tianah203]

Going on Carnival Panorama with family in June. My husband and I have added the drink packages on our last 3 cruise trips. Once you have it, it's hard to not add it to your vacation IMO

[@ellamatthews9349]

Always get drink package - drink around 4ish alcoholic drinks a day BUT I drink LOT of gaderade, energy drinks, water, shakes and coffee so I think it is worth it PLUS don't have to worry about a bill at end.

[@matthill2957]

Except for all the gratuitys lol

[@ginareyes4530]

@Matt Hill If you prepay it online, the gratuity is included.

[@HappyHands16]

That’s what I was wondering. My husband and I drink a lot of non alcoholic beverages and maybe about 3-4 alcoholic ones.

[@Tina-zt8dk]

So is it 59.95 flat or 59.95 a day?

[@keishas.7324]

@@Tina-zt8dka day!

[@denisemoore-walton6448]

We start our cruise February 25th out of Miami when we booked it the drink packet was included so I waiting to try different drinks I've never had

[@brittanygracey6238]

I’m bringing a 40oz tumbler to throw drinks into prior to going into port.

[@anshelton100]

This was very informative…it’s always been worth it for us we have a family of four so me and hubby get the drink package . We are able to get our drinks (and yes I do have at least 4 😅 a day or more) at breakfast I preferred a mimosas and probably a cocktail or two at dinner . Then hanging around the pool or at the bar. What’s makes it worth it for me is yes we share it with our kids 🤫 we get them non alcoholic drinks , milkshakes, soda etc

[@randMcnally16]

Was there any restrictions to sharing the non alcoholic drinks with the kids on carnivals cheers package?

[@jasminebanks7462]

@@randMcnally16 It is against the rules. Just be discreet when sharing with your children.

[@punkintravels]

I got the pkg. I dont wanna be trying to figure out the math with what im spending on my on (:

[@benton59]

Not heavy drinkers, but we always budget for everything. We always think about it.

[@JTsview]

We just got back from a 6 day! We purchased the cheers and did excursions everyday offered. We are drinkers and bourbons are my go to. Searched out the bars with the top shelf liquors. I don’t believe we hit the 15 each day but we were up there. In total we ended up getting 100 drinks over the duration. The misses definitely made sure after excursion days that was the mission to get it in 🍸🥃 lol after the cruise we calculated if it was worth it or not and given we drink the cheers pays for itself for our situation.

[@krystaleve10]

Im cruising in August on the Valor porting out of New Orleans! I am getting the Cheers package. When I went on my first cruise we didnt get the cheers we got the bubbles one and bought drinks along the way. We spent way too much money. Drink package all the way this second cruise! I also prepaid for everything including gratuties! I looooove your channel yall are awesome! I love to hear yall talk about VA! Yall give such wonderful tips! I am an alumini of Virginia Union University class of 98!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@You-are-THEONE]

In Virginia the ABC license has that rule also. You have to open the can or bottle.

[@MarkyMarkyMarkk]

I had the drink package and it was definitely worth it for me , I’m not a big drinker but I spent the money so ima take advantage

[@meme-pf6xh]

I'm so happy I found yall!!!😂😂😂 going on my first cruise 4 days with my 2 little ones, but I plan on getting the cheer package cause Mama needs a drink, and I've been saving some of your videos, so I can have a great first time thankbyou so much!!!!

[@realtalk-hopeilhutchinson4627]

Hello from The Bahamas. Watching your videos and love them thank you for the info. We will contact you for a cruise for next year May or June. We have a huge family. Thank you so much for these helpful videos.

[@mzkeetra]

In Texas, you can still buy alcohol on the first day in port, they just write down your portfolio # and you’ll see the charges on the 2nd day.

[@LifeWithUsTV]

With cheers? If so…. That’s real illegal 👀

[@mzkeetra]

@@LifeWithUsTV No, they charge you by the drink. You guys were right, the package starts at 6am on the 2nd day. I was saying all the drinks you buy on the 1st day won’t show up on your account until the 2nd day. That’s how it has been on my cruises and I always buy Cheers

[@erins2544]

@@mzkeetra you can't buy all the drinks. It's a specific selection. For example Red Frog Pub only had about half the menu when the cruise starts due to Texas laws.

[@mzkeetra]

@@erins2544 Not sure about the whole menu but all the drinks I usually drink be available

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Oooo ✔️

I be taking my 1st cruise October 30 it’s 2 day after my birthday I will try the drink package carnival out of Jacksonville I like all info and pointers me being a truck driver I love to travel

[@shawnsVlogLifestyleAndMore]

Thanks for the information! My spouse and I just disembarked the Carnival Magic after an 8 day cruise. We had Cheers! They never opened our Gatorade or sodas. I was waiting for this and had planned to politely ask them not to touch the top of my drink or open it! This was our first Carnival Cruise since before the pandemic. I remember them doing that, but not this time. I'm glad because it was wrong on so many levels!!

[@LifeWithUsTV]

It’s actually the rules but the staff don’t get paid enough to fight with people over it so I don’t blame em honestly. The juice ain’t worth the squeeze.

[@bernicafreeman7722]

Hey yall I'm so happy I found your page. I searched on KZbin for first time carnival 1st time cruiser. Your page stood out, thank you for all the jems you drop. I will sailing to the Bahamas in April on the Liberty. I know what to do and what not to do because of you two. ❤❤

[@barbarahernandez4713]

Most people see 15 drink limit and use that to say they won't drink 15 drinks so the package is not worth it. A regular drink will cost you about 15 including gratuity. That along with a glass of wine, coffee, energy drinks, Gatorade, sparkling water, regular water, milkshakes etc. This msjes the package worth it if you even if you don't drink.

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Yes if the person drinks those it’s worth it but many do not

[@dyishaeddings7532]

1..... I don't ever make it to 15 but I definitely have more than 3 a day. On my first cruise I didn't get it and I regretted it cause we spent about the same much if not more.

[@syhmiralashae4173]

Our cruise is in November… super excited because this is our first cruise and our first cruise with our toddlers

[@tlcason10]

So manyyy good tips ive watched a few of yalls vids and gained so much knowledge for my first cruise. i wish we were going on same one bc yall seem like good company to party with

hi guys! i’m cruising may 15th from new orleans! thanks so much for all the tips

[@Ransome2501]

Just got off a carnival cruise with the cheers package. for me I don’t think I’ll get it next time. the first couple of days at sea it was probably worth it but the three days at port, the embarkation day and the last fun day at sea didn’t nearly drink as much. Plus having to stand at a bar just to get a soda or a bottle of water is a pain in the rear. Every time we go to get something to eat we would have to find a bar to get a cold drink. There should be a few stations with just soda and water so you wouldn’t have to go to a bar to get a cold drink or a bottle water. I will definitely brink a 12 pack of soda next time. Even if I had to go back to my room to get a soda, it would be easier than standing in line at a bar.

[@NatashaT76]

[@analisamv]

It would be nice if they added an in between package. My son is 19. Obviously he is too you forth Cheers, but he would definitely enjoy limited/unlimited specialty coffee, milkshakes and thevnice bottle water. He would even like an energy drink from time to time. We are cruising on the Sunshine over July 4th. I have already purchased the endless bubbles for him. I may get the Cheers for myself. I'm on the fence. The coffee and milkshakes are VERY tempting for me.😊

[@LifeWithUsTV]

I sooooo agree!

[@jasharley2820]

What's the endless bubble package and how much is it

[@santaortega2198]

What are the top shelf liquor options? Trying to find out if the cheer package is good idea

[@amandablack9026]

You definitely have to remember, if you get the package, anyone in your cabin over 21 has to get that drink package too. And as they noted, this does not include drinks at port. Even their private islands.

[@kingqueenleonardadventures5034]

1 - My King and I almost maxed out everyday on our 8day cruise last year. lmbo I said hey I can do 5 - Breakfast, 5-Lunch, and 5-Dinner and it worked. Drink then eat, drink then eat, drink then eat. Im a drinker so it worked out great for us. My King can drink so it worked out for him to cuz when i wanted more and he was done and i ran out then i would drink his lmbo

It’s 68.95 right now (Sept 2024) to pre-pay prior to my cruise per person. Is there a time you can’t get drinks? I know a few years back someone was complaining about that…

Meaning? Texas and New York can’t participate until day 2.

Has anyone tried sharing with someone else you're on the cruise with? Like just get the drink and pass it to your friend? Example if 2 Cabins and 4 pp. 1 cabin buy the package then split the cost between 4 people?

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Of course but don’t get caught

[@hollypotter6989]

If 2 adults in your cabin both have to buy the pkg. So if you do share with the other cabin don't get caught doing it.

Hey Fam! yes if you order alcohol drinks it will count toward your 15

When is a good time to pay for the Internet package?

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Anytime up to 48 before the cruise

Technically no but...
