So as you may or may not know, Carnival Cruise Lines is testing an all-you-can-drink program on many of their Fun Ships called Cheers! (formerly My Awesome Bar Program). A program that was rolled out last August, guests can opt to purchase an all-inclusive beverage package for $42.95 (plus gratuities) per person, per day. Everyone over 21 in the cabin must purchase the package, we assume to avoid sharing.

While the unlimited beverage package may be old news, using it ashore is not. If you purchase the beverage program on a Caribbean sailing you’ll now be able to take it ashore to Carnival’s private island, Half Moon Cay. Originally the plan only allowed guest to use the beverage package on board but as Senior Cruise Director John Heald posted on Facebook, “… it can be used on our private island Half Moon Cay. Originally we had not allowed this but as many of you requested for it we now allow the program to be used while ashore there.”

Thirteen total Fun Ships have the Cheers! all you can drink program, including:  Carnival Victory, Carnival Splendor, Carnival Breeze, Carnival Dream, Carnival Conquest, Carnival Legend, Carnival Miracle, Carnival Glory, Carnival Pride, Carnival Valor, Carnival Freedom, Carnival Magic and Carnival Liberty.

The beverage program is available to drinks under $10, up to 15 beverages per person, per day.
