A Carnival drink package allows you to indulge in a fixed number of alcoholic beverages per day of your cruise for a set price, so you do not have to worry about purchasing each drink á la carte.
They are one of the most popular cruise add-ons for a reason! Of course, if you are not a big drinker, you may not get your money's worth. Maybe you would rather splurge on some once-in-a-lifetime shore excursions or a nicer stateroom.
Here are 15 tips that will help you decide whether or not a Carnival drink package is worth the investment or not.

Hi this was helpful. We bought the package because I like the special coffees and I can grab water at just about any place selling drinks on board. I love the mock tails and I can drink 15 drinks on a ship easily when you add coffees, waters, mocktails and juices.

My husband and I don’t drink like that but we get it. You can get the specialty drinks, bottle water, and you can get a shot and a soda that’s how it would be worth it however, there’s a drink cost on the internet that adds it up for you to see if it’s worth getting and I like fruity drinks, mimosas and this adds up. Plus if you have more sea days than port days it’s worth it. Only if you drink.

That's just baloney that a couple can't share a drink package. I mean, how many people want 15 drinks a day anyway? So if they allow up to that, why can't a couple share it? Or for couples maybe have a little extra charge so they can share it, but why does each one have to pay full price when practically no one who is a moderate drinker will have 15 a day.

It’s such a ripoff

@jaytpharaoh8411 6 ай бұрын

What I would advise if you could as a couple is to buy the bubbles package, bring two bottles of high prof wine, and buy two bottles to be delivered to your room. It will be 60-70% verses drink package

I agree. It's ridiculous ‼️ I drink moderately. My partner doesn't drink at all‼️ Why should we pay that ridiculous price⁉️

@HLTrds 5 ай бұрын

5 or 6 drinks cost 50 plus per day, especially if you drink mixed drink

@ryanestrada5289 4 ай бұрын

I buy it and drink 15 throughout the day. It’s worth it if you’re a drinker.

What does the bottomless bubbles package include, that's not already included with the cruise, besides soda?

@elliotaustin6251 4 ай бұрын

The drink packages seem to include charges or # of drinks on a per day basis. Do these charges include the first day of embarkation which might be as late as 3pm and the last day of disembarkation which may be as early as 8am??? It doesn't seem fair as it doesn't seem like you'd be able to utilize these packages on these days to the fullest enjoyment. Thank you.

I have a question,if you take your own 12 cans of Coke’s on the ship and you have a Bacardi rum and Coke will that still be added to your drink package or will that be individual charge on your on-board expense???

It's crazy you can't use the drink package on Carnivals private island, Half Moon Cay.

It's only the alcohol that counts. Nonalcoholic stuff is unlimited.

I'm NOT a big drinker of alcohol. Still, I would like to try at least a couple drinks. Wondering if I could get the drink package for like one or 2 days instead of the entire trip? Also do they offer a cheaper drink package with fewer drinks per day? Thought about sharing with my mom. No way I can drink 15 a day of anything LOL. If it costs too much which it mostly likely will then I will just buy a couple of drinks on their own & forget the package deal. Also don't want to fill up on drinks & not be able to enjoy the great food I love.

@enriqueburke7637 2 ай бұрын

It has to be for the duration of the cruise. Don’t get it unless you’re going to drink 6 or 7 drinks each day

Question if I get the cheers package would shots count as one drink or is it a limit of shots you can get?

@candaceshaw6695 4 ай бұрын

Shots count as drink. But you can get drinks that have more than one shot in it

@heidij70 Ай бұрын

I just read the rules from Carnival website. A drink with double shot is considered 2 drinks.

Can you bring mini apple juice if you dont drink soda?

all drinks you bring onboard apparently have to be in cans NOT bottles. Seems like a dumb rule, but I think they do sell apple juice in cans.

It honestly sucks ass that you have to purchase drink package for everyone of drinking age considering my wife literally can’t drink because she takes prescription medication it makes no sense to gouge people like that Iknow people cheat the rules and share packages anyway but why take that out on everyone else on the boat Carnival should really do something about it!

@enriqueburke7637 2 ай бұрын

Don’t purchase it

@heidij70 Ай бұрын

Exactly, so I just did the math. It won't work for us because my husband doesn't drink alcohol. The drink package for 5 day cruise right now with their 18% gratuity would be $840! Because we both would have to get the package. If I just purchased 4 drinks per day with gratuity, at $14/drink, it comes to around $330 over 5 days. (Without the package of course) I know I won't even drink that much. So it's a no brainer. No way would I spend $1000 for drinks on a cruise. Hecks no!

@YourFutureEx 5 ай бұрын

This is NEVER worth the money. We went on an 8 day (two of us) cruise with three ports and did our research beforehand. What a ripoff this would’ve been. We got the wine package (5 bottles for about $125) and that worked great. Had a cocktail or coffee here or there but never EVER got anywhere near the cost of the package. Alcoholic groups might find it worth it but your time could be better spent.

@enriqueburke7637 2 ай бұрын

It’s not hard to figure out. If the adults drink 6 or more drinks a day it’s worth it. If not, don’t buy it
