SHOULD I GET THE DRINK PACKAGE???

Are you trying to decide on purchasing a Drink Package for your upcoming Cruise? Is it worth it? There are many factors to consider.

Are you a Heavy Drinker?
Are you going to drink 15 Drinks per day?
Everyone over 21 years old in your cabin must purchase the Drink Package.
Don’t forget to Factor in Non-Alcoholic Drinks you may have during the day. The value of those can add up to $25.00 or more per day.
How many drinks are you going to drink on Port Days?
The Drink Package on Carnival starts at $70.74 per day (Price Includes Service Charge) if purchased before the Cruise and increases by $5.00 per day if you wait to purchase until you are onboard.
Non-alcoholic drinks like Soda, Water and Tea are included in with the drink package, but do not count against the 15 drinks per day maximum.

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN CARNIVAL’S DRINK PACKAGE

Alcoholic beverages are limited to 15 per day, regardless of whether you have purchased Cheers. Coffee, Shakes, Soda and small Water Bottles are unlimited at 5-minute intervals.
You can order one alcoholic drink and one non-alcoholic soda or water simultaneously. You can order another pair in 5 minutes.
You cannot order two non-alcoholic drinks simultaneously. You cannot order a shake or coffee simultaneously with an alcoholic beverage.
You cannot order a double shot or a floater. However, you can order a shot, wait 5 minutes and then order a frozen drink to add to your float. (The Bartenders are normally happy to arrange this for you.)
You can ask the Server or Bartender to use branded or “Top Shelf” Liquor.
Bring your own straws – the Candy Straws they give you are horrible!
If you eat at the Steakhouse, ask them to provide you with a full glass of wine to pair with each course.
If you are traveling with someone else who has Cheers, or Free Drinks, you can take both cards to the bar and order drinks for each of you.
When you buy Cheers, Carnival includes gratuity in the purchase price. Additional tipping is an option, but not expected. If you are sailing on “Drinks on Us in the Casino” or Drinks on Us Everywhere” from the Casino, then tips have not been included, and it is recommended you tip the Bartender or Server for each Drink.
Cheers package includes drinks that are $20.00 or less on the menu.
The most expensive shot you can get is Patron Anejo for $19.50,
