As you might expect, there is a long list of restrictions that apply. From age requirement to sharing your drinks, it's all here:

CHEERS! Restrictions

• You must be 21 years or older to purchase the drink package and agree not to give to minors.
• Each adult assigned to the same stateroom must purchase the program. This applies even if your stateroom-mate doesn't drink. Both must purchase it.
• CHEERS! is non-transferable. To use the program, a sticker is placed on your Sail & Sign card, that you show when ordering your drink. Sharing is not permitted.
• The program isn't offered on a per day basis. You must purchase it for the entire cruise.
• CHEERS! is non-refundable. If you purchased the package before the cruise, you have up to 10:00pm ET before embarkation day to cancel.
• Carnival has the right to raise (or lower!) prices on sailing day. Another reason to purchase before you leave home.
• Only one drink at a time may be ordered. And again, sharing is not permitted.
• If you order a double-shot, this is considered two drinks and you can't order two drinks at once.
• Soft drinks and juices are included in the beverage program, but you still can order only one drink at a time. And still no sharing.
• You have to wait five minutes between drink orders. It's all recorded on the computers, so moving to another bar won't change a thing.
• With CHEERS! you can order up to 15 alcoholic drinks per 24 hour period (6:00am-6:00am). Forget about that 16th drink…it won't happen.
• Program only applicable for onboard purchases.
• You can't take it with you…all bottles and cans will be served opened.
• If you or anyone else is so totally blitzed, Carnival reserves the right to refuse service for any reason.

Where and when you can't use CHEERS!

Any drinks purchased on the first day will be charged to your Sail & Sign card. You won't be charged the full price if purchasing onboard on the second day and the cost of the first day will be deducted.
