I'm booked on the first cruise for Carnival Luminosa ex Brisbane on 6 November and, as a guide, would like to know what the current drinks and wine package prices are for the Carnival Splendor.  According to what I have found out so far, the Cheers drinks packages is currently Au$119 per person per day.  Yes Au$119!!  Is that correct? I don't want to pay that so want to know what I can expect to pay for drinks and wine packages on board.

I'm on the first Luminosa cruise too, so I have been following a lot of posts over at FB. Not sure about wine packages but the cocktails are around $16 and $17 each. Some bottles of wine for under $40.

You will find most drink prices within here. Posted yesterday, so definitely current.

$ 16 or $17 😮 that was the price of a 1L sprits last time i was in Vila.... but can go without a $17:50 kabab....***** ....

$12:50 greasy chips Cairns 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for the responses.  Yesterday I found the link below which details the current October 2022 Australian drinks prices on the Carnival Splendor. Beers mostly $8.50-$9.50 and cocktails mostly $16-$17.  Only one photo including wine prices  - from $33 a bottle for an Australian Chardonnay.  Can't find anything yet on the 'Cruise the Vineyards' wine package.

Does Carnival add a service charge to drinks?

Service charge? 

In Australia, no.

Thanks arxcards, great news!

Also thank you for the link to the drink prices video.  Rather reasonable prices really.

I was wondering as the drinks were so expensive, maybe the service charge is included. 

34 minutes ago, Zoedutt said: I was wondering as the drinks were so expensive, maybe the service charge is included. 

Would be rolled into the price for sure.  I thought the prices were average for run of the mill cruise lines.  What you would pay in a decent restaurant...eg $8 or $9 a beer, $10 to $12 a glass of vino.

Drink Packages for Australian Cruises

Deciding which Cruise to take usually involves weighing up all the optional extras included in your package. One of the most frequently asked questions by travellers is the prices and inclusions of the Drinks Package onboard. Considering whether you take out the drinks package or not can be a costly decision or a real money saver than buying at full price onboard. Some of the questions you should ask yourself when deciding to buy a drink package or not should include:

• How many drinks do you think you will consume onboard?
• What is your drink budget per day?
• Will you be drinking alot of alcoholic beverages or are you a non-drinker?
• Will you be drinking throughout the day or just in the evenings?
• Do you go for the fully inclusive option including Beers, Wines and Soft drinks or just a non-alcoholic option?
• Will the whole family be drinking? Just the kids or just the adults?

Luckily, we’ve created a comprehensive list of all the available packages and options available for both Adults and Children onboard vessels departing from Australia. So what is the best drinks package for you? Below we take a look at all the beverage options for Australian Cruises.

P&O Cruises Australia

P&O have recently included drinks packages on all P&O Cruise ships. The Premium Beverage Package which includes Alocholic drinks however is only currently available on crusies of 7 nights or more. For shorter cruises the Soft Drinks package is available and can be upgraded to include in room Bottled Water.

The  P&O Premium Beverage Package  includes soft drinks, wine, beer, selected spirits, cocktails, coffee and small bottles of water. Priced at $79 AUD per person / per day this can be a great value for money  and a real saving if you like to drink more than just a few beverages per day. Only available to those aged 18 years and over the package must be purchased for the entire trip and includes any individual beverage up to the value of $12 AUD. Items above $12 AUD are not included in the P&O Premium Package. Beverages are served one drink per order per eligible guest.

Including the Premium Drinks package on your cruise would be worth it if you think you'll drink a range of cocktails, wine, beer and spirits throughout the day and with your meals. Having for example 3 cocktails by the pool, some water, a coke for lunch, a beer, wine and coffee with your evening meal and you'll definately hit the $79 mark anyway if you didn't include the package prior to departure.

The  P&O Soft Drink package  is priced at $7 AUD per person / per day and includes unlimited Coca Cola, Diet Coke, Sprite, Lift, Fanta, Tonic Water, Soda Water and Ginger. The package does not include bottled water (still or sparkling) and juice, or energy drinks such as Red Bull. The package does not include orders made from your cabin. Again, the package must be purchased for the entire duration of your trip.

As an upgrade you may want to also include the  In Room Bottled Water package  is priced at $15 per package and includes 6 large bottles of water for the price of 3 delivered to you cabin oboard.

Princess Cruises in Australia have recently included the Premier Beverage Package which includes both alcoholic an non-alcoholic drinks.

Priced at $59.99 USD per person per day plus an 18% service charge (Total $70.79 USD) this package is slightly better priced than the P&O Premium Drinks package. This package is only available on cruises of 8 nights or more and only includes drinks up to the value of $16 AUD. As an added incentive to take up this offer, passengers who purchase the deal also receive a 40% discount on bottles of wine under $100 AUD.

How this couple saved $600 by crunching the numbers on their drinks package

The eternal debate of whether to purchase a drinks package for your cruise has been given a methodical new angle by a royal caribbean couple who carefully mapped their drink spending on a spreadsheet..

The couple anonymously posted their results onto a popular Royal Caribbean Facebook page, dissecting all their alcohol consumption on a 12-night cruise to New Zealand. They are 61 and 59 and travelled in a party of eight.

As seen in the tables below, the couple paid $1409.85 each for the drinks package, with the husband downing $2131.74 and the wife polishing off $1288.11 worth of drinks. This came out to a nearly $600 net profit.

The couple had a total of 195 alcohol drinks over the 13-day cruise, which equals seven-and-a-half drinks per day each.

Is your package worth it?

Every cruise line has different-priced drinks and different-priced drinks packages. Cruise Passenger has taken the amount this couple drank on their Royal Caribbean cruise, and applied the same variables.

We give our verdict on whether purchasing a drinks package on other lines, would be worth the cost if our couple drank the same amount on hypothetical cruises. We have calculated all prices in Australian dollars.

Carnival Cruise Line Australia

The Carnival Cheers package starts at $111 per day, and based on an average of some of their drinks menus, drinking at the same pace as the Royal Caribbean couple, the package would not be worth the value. Cruise Passenger found that due to the price of individual drinks onboard Carnival, it would be more cost-effective for the couple to purchase the drinks individually.

Overall the couple would be spending $2886 on drinks packages, but only receiving $2640.50 worth of drinks, leaving them $225.50 out of pocket.

Princess Cruises

There are a few key considerations before purchasing a Princess drinks package.

The first is that the line offers its guests two drinks packages- the Plus Beverage Package priced at US$65 (AU$97) or the Premier Beverage Package for US$85 (AU$127).

Guests who purchase the Plus Beverage Package have cocktails, wine, beer and spirits up to the value of US$15 (AU$23). Specialty coffee, soft drinks and juices are also included in the package.

The Premier Beverage Package offers guests the options as the Plus Beverage Package, but drinks of up to US$19 (AU$28) are available to the purchaser.

But the cruise line also offers a bundled package called Princess Plus which includes the Plus Beverage Package options as well as WiFi for one guest, two fitness classes, premium desserts, and unlimited access to the juice bar. This bundle is priced at US$65 (AU$97).

The Princess Premier Package, priced at US$95 (AU$142) includes the Premier Beverage Package as well as unlimited desserts and fitness classes, unlimited access to the juice bar, Medallion Accessory, reserved theatre seating, WiFi for four devices, two specialty dining meals per guest and a photo package.

Cruise Passenger found, comparative to Royal Caribbean, that while the beverages are more affordable, the beverage package costs more. If the hypothetical couple drank the same amount as the couple on Royal Caribbean, they would spend an additional $617.25 more than required .

However, the Princess Plus package, priced at the same amount as the beverage package, has amenities worth more than $617.25. Our verdict is that purchasing the Princess Plus Package provides the best value for money.

P&O Cruises

P&O Cruises Australia offers a Premium Beverage Package for $99 per day or The Lot! Beverage Package. The Premium Beverage Package will cover all your alcoholic drinks up to $16, as well as soft drinks, mocktails, specialty coffee, juice blend and bottled water.

The Lot! will cover drinks up to $19 and covers soft drinks, mocktails, specialty coffee, juice blend, bottled water and energy drinks.

Based on the Premium Beverage Package, Cruise Passenger’s hypothetical couple come out having drank $75.50 worth of alcohol above what they paid for with the package. Our verdict is that the beverage packages are worth paying for.

Cunard’s Beer, Wine and Spirits package is priced US$70 (AU$105). It offers guests alcoholic beverages up to US$13 (AU$19), which includes a range of cocktails, as well as soft drinks, bottled water, juices, specialty hot drinks and mocktails.

In Cruise Passenger’s example, the beverage proves to save the couple just a few dollars. Our hypothetical couple spent $3 more than what they would pay for if they bought individual drinks. 

Celebrity Cruises

Celebrity’s Classic Drinks package starts from US$89 (AU$133), which includes any drinks up to US$10 (AU$14.93). However, there is a Premium Package, which starts from US$109 (AU$162), where guests can order beverages valued up to US$17 (AU$25).

If the same variables were applied to the hypothetical couple, the couple’s beverage would cost $1364 more on a Premium Package, than they would if they were to purchase the drinks individually.

Norwegian Cruise Line

The Free Beverage Package is US$109 (AU$163), which earns you all alcoholic beverages up to US$15 (AU$22), as well as unlimited soft drinks and juice and 20% off bottles of champagne. 

There is also the Premium Plus Beverage Package for US$138 (AU$206) per day, which gets you all alcoholic beverages, unlimited soft drinks, unlimited bottled water, all Starbucks coffees and specialty drinks, energy drinks, and choices of premium wine and champagne to have with dinner. 

However, at the moment NCL is running its Free At Sea promotion, which is eligible for every scheduled Australia sailing and includes a beverage package. These beverage packages are included in the cruise fare, along with WiFi, shore excursion credit, specialty dining package, third and fourth-guest travel at a reduced rate, and up to 35% off all other cruises. 

Cruise Passenger  found that it is necessary to take up the line’s Free At Sea promotion, which includes the beverage package. If the hypothetical couple were to purchase the NCL’s Free Beverage Package, they would pay an additional $1,707.50 compared to if they purchase the drinks individually.

Our verdict is if you can purchase the line’s Free At Sea promotion, then the package is worth it with the additional offerings. But if a guest was to just purchase the beverage package, it would be more economical to buy individual beverages. 

Key considerations

Number of sea days.

The couple drank much more on sea days, rather than port days. This particular cruise had seven days at sea and six days in port, making a drinks package more attractive.

If your cruise has a higher ratio of port days, it’s worth keeping in my mind you won’t be likely to drink during the day if you’re out exploring a port, and you also purchase additional alcoholic drinks at the port.

Are you both big drinkers?

Every major cruise line makes it so everyone in your cabin has to purchase the drinks package. If you are travelling in a couple or small group and some are heavy drinkers and some are light drinkers, it might be beneficial not to purchase the drinks package as the light drinkers will not be using the value.

Are you travelling in a group?

The Royal Caribbean couple was travelling with a group of friends, which they say made them drink more.

“Being part of a group definitely increases your opportunity to socialise (and drink) more. We’ve been on other cruises on our own and never drank nearly as much.”

Price of drinks versus drinks packages

A key consideration is how the cruise line prices its drinks and drinks packages. For example, Royal Caribbean has comparatively expensive drinks to other Australian family lines, but competitively priced drinks packages.

Whereas, as you can see below, a cruise line such as Carnival has a similarly priced drinks package, but cheaper drinks onboard. Meaning you’ll actually have to drink more to get your money’s worth.

Exchange rate

If you are travelling on a cruise line such as Royal Caribbean that operates in USD, a strong Aussie dollar will make a drinks package more affordable for you.

Carnival Cruise Line Drink Packages: The Ultimate Guide (2023)

By: Author Carrie Ann Karstunen

Posted on Published: July 3, 2020  - Last updated: August 15, 2023

Mainstream cruise lines, including Carnival , don’t offer many complimentary drink options on the ship. So for many cruisers, the bar bill ends up being a large portion of their vacation budget. If you’re cruising on Carnival, a Carnival Cruise Line drink package lets you pre-plan your drink budget so you’re not hit with a huge bar tab at the end of your cruise!

Carnival offers drink packages for all ages, at various price points. But is a Carnival beverage package worth it? I’ll help you decide if you should buy one and which drink package is right for you .

Carnival last updated its beverage package pricing in May 2022, and also made some small changes to the program in 2023. I’ll explain what each package currently includes and how much it will cost for your cruise.

Carnival Cruise Line drink packages available for 2023 and beyond

Although Carnival offers a small selection of complimentary beverages around the clock (tap water, non-specialty coffee, hot tea, hot chocolate, lemonade or juice drinks, and iced tea), you might want to expand your drink options without having to pay each time you order.

Unlike some cruise lines that offer a wide range of drink packages, Carnival makes their prepaid beverage packages simple. There are only two options: one for soft drinks only, and one for both alcohol and soft drinks.

Carnival’s Bottomless Bubbles

Bottomless Bubbles is Carnival’s prepaid soda package, available for both children and adults. This option includes all-you-can-drink fountain soda, sparkling water, and fruit juices.

The cost for Bottomless Bubbles is $6.95 per day for children under 18, and $9.50 per day for adults age 18 and up. An 18% gratuity is added to the price at the time of package purchase.

Back in January 2020, Carnival began the switch from serving Coke products to Pepsi products. Today, all of Carnival’s fleet exclusively serves Pepsi products.

Tip: If you’re a die-hard Coke fan, you can always carry on a limited amount of your favorite Coke products in cans. Learn more in How to Bring Your Own Drinks on a Cruise .

Carnival’s Pepsi lineup is as follows:

• Pepsi Zero Sugar
• Caffeine Free Pepsi
• Diet Pepsi Caffeine Free
• Sierra Mist
• Sierra Mist Zero Sugar
• Mug Root Beer
• Mountain Dew
• Diet Mountain Dew
• Bubly Sparkling Water (Lime, Grapefruit, or Orange)

Dr. Pepper and Diet Dr. Pepper are also usually added to the list for cruises departing the ports of Galveston and New Orleans.

Tip: You can also buy a reusable Carnival soft drink tumbler for $5.95 with Bottomless Bubbles ($9.95 without the program). Consider waiting to buy your soft drink tumbler once the ship is in international waters to avoid paying sales tax at the embarkation port.

Fruit juice options include:

• Orange Juice
• Cranberry Juice
• Tomato Juice
• Pineapple Juice
• Grapefruit Juice

For a 7-day cruise, Carnival’s Bottomless Bubbles drink package would cost $57.41 for a child and $78.47 for an adult, including gratuities.

Note: Bottomless Bubbles is not always available on European itineraries.

Carnival’s CHEERS! Beverage Program

CHEERS! is Carnival Cruise Line’s all-inclusive beverage package. Available for guests age 21 and over, CHEERS! includes a wide selection of alcoholic beverages, mocktails, and an expanded range of non-alcoholic drinks compared to Bottomless Bubbles.

The cost for CHEERS! when you pre-purchase before your cruise is $59.95 per person, per day, plus an 18% gratuity.

If you purchase CHEERS! on board, the cost is $64.95 per person, per day, plus an 18% gratuity.

Carnival’s CHEERS! package includes:

• All cocktails, spirits, and beer and wine by the glass with a menu price of $20.00 or lower
• Soda, mocktails, energy drinks, specialty coffees and teas, 500ml bottled water, and other non-alcoholic bottled beverages
• Self-service beer stations
• Large bottles of water in the dining rooms and specialty restaurants

CHEERS! also includes all soft drinks in the Bottomless Bubbles package plus:

• Pure Leaf Unsweetened Black Tea
• Pure Leaf Sweet Tea
• Gatorade (Lemon-Lime or Fruit Punch)
• Propel (Berry, Grape, or Kiwi Strawberry)
• Starbucks Frappuccino
• Starbucks Double Shot Espresso

Guests with the CHEERS! package also are eligible for a 25% discount off spirits or wine by the glass above $20.00, wine and champagne by the bottle, and beverage seminars and classes.

FAQ about Carnival Cruise Line drink packages

If you’ve never cruised with Carnival before, or it’s been a while since your last cruise, you probably have some general questions about how the Carnival Cruise Line drink packages work.

I’ll answer the most common ones here. If you have a question that I haven’t answered, just drop it in the comments and I’ll be happy to answer it.

Do you need to tip for drinks purchased with a Carnival beverage package?

All Carnival drink packages have an extra 18% gratuity on top of the list price. So, you won’t need to tip your bartender or server each time you order a drink with your beverage package – you’ve already pre-paid your tips.

However, you can always add an extra tip for your favorite bartenders, if you choose.

Do you need to pay tax on your drinks?

When you’re out at sea in international waters, you don’t need to worry about paying tax on any of your drinks. But when you’re in port, some local authorities require cruise lines to collect tax on the menu price of any beverages you buy.

Taxes will be charged to your on board account if you buy drinks one-by-one or use a beverage package.

The tax percentage varies by port, but it’s never a huge amount—generally somewhere between 5-10% of the cost of each drink. If a jurisdiction charges tax, it will be charged on each drink when the ship is in port and in its territorial waters.

Do Carnival drink packages work on their private islands?

Carnival’s Bottomless Bubbles and CHEERS! packages can’t be used to order beverages on the private islands of Half Moon Cay and Princess Cays .

How old do you have to be to buy an alcoholic beverage package on Carnival?

You must be age 21 or over to purchase or use the CHEERS! package on all Carnival cruises, regardless of the legal drinking age at any ports you might visit.

For those turning 21 during the cruise, you’ll be able to purchase alcohol à la carte with a valid ID starting on your birthday. You won’t be able to purchase a CHEERS! package in the middle of the cruise.

Can you share your Carnival beverage package with another guest?

Carnival issues a sticker for each guest that purchases a beverage package, and the sticker goes on your Sail & Sign card. Only one beverage per sticker will be served at a time.

Carnival (like most other cruise lines today) requires that if one person buys the CHEERS! package, every person 21 and older in the same stateroom must also purchase the package. Cruise lines have implemented this policy to crack down on beverage package sharing.

Many cruise lines will waive this requirement if you don’t drink because of pregnancy, a medical condition, religious beliefs, or if you’re in recovery from substance use disorder. However, Carnival is known to be very strict with this policy. You can try reaching out to Carnival to ask for an exemption, but it’s not very likely that they’ll budge.

How do you buy a Carnival Cruise Line drink package?

Before your cruise, you can pre-purchase Bottomless Bubbles or CHEERS! online at www.carnival.com/Funshops or by calling (800) 522-7648. The cut-off time for online pre-purchase is 11:59 PM EST the day before embarkation. The call center closes at 9:00 PM EST, so their cut-off time is a bit earlier.

Both packages will also be available for purchase on the ship on embarkation day and the first full cruise day. You can get Bottomless Bubbles at the lobby, casino, and pool bars.

Tables will be set up around the ship on embarkation day and the next day where you can buy the CHEERS! package.

Can you buy a Carnival drink package for certain days of the cruise?

It would be nice to pick and choose which days you have a drink package (like sea days only, please!), but once you buy a package you need to buy it for each remaining day of your cruise. Take this into consideration if you have a lot of longer shore excursions when you won’t be on the ship to use the package.

In order to minimize your costs, consider waiting until the second day of your cruise to buy a beverage package. You’ll just need to pay for any drinks you consume on embarkation day.

But, remember that you save 10% if you pre-order the CHEERS! package before your cruise. Do the math to see which option saves more money for your situation.

Does Carnival ever offer a free drink package?

Outside of comped cruises through the casino, I’ve never seen Carnival offer a free beverage package as a perk for booking a cruise. That’s not to say it will never happen, but it’s pretty unlikely. Carnival’s business model is to keep prices low, and for guests to pay for any extras on an à la carte basis.

If you’re looking for a low-priced cruise line that offers free drink packages very consistently, Norwegian is your best bet. Or, if your budget is a bit higher, consider an all-inclusive cruise.

How much are drinks on a Carnival cruise if you buy them individually?

If you’re considering buying a drink package for your first Carnival cruise, you’re probably wondering what the menu prices are if you buy drinks individually.

Here are typical menu prices for a variety of drinks on Carnival:

• Beer: $6 – $8 per glass
• Wine $8 – $14 per glass
• Mixed drinks: $7 – $20
• Soft drinks: $2.50
• Specialty soft drinks: $2 – $5
• Bottled water: $1.25 – $5

Is there a limit to how many drinks you can get per day with a Carnival beverage package?

You’re allowed to drink an unlimited amount of non-alcoholic drinks with both Bottomless Bubbles and the CHEERS! package. (You do need to wait five minutes between drink orders, except if you’re ordering bottled water along with your drink.)

However, you can only have 15 alcoholic drinks per day. That sounds like a lot, but lots of cruisers can (and do!) reach that cap. Bartenders and servers track drink orders on their POS system, so you can always ask how many drinks you’re up to if you lose track!

Once you hit the 15 drinks, you’re not allowed to order more alcohol, even if you try to pay out of pocket. The 24-hour period resets every morning at 6 AM.

Are there any restrictions on where you can use a Carnival drink package?

You can use your Carnival drink package for onboard purchases only. When you’re in port, you can’t use the package off the ship, even on a Carnival-sponsored shore excursion.

Carnival Cruise Line drink packages also don’t apply to drinks ordered through room service or the Interactive TV system, or for beverages from your stateroom’s minibar.

The CHEERS! package also can’t be used for the following alcoholic drinks:

• Drinks in souvenir glasses (but you can ask for the same drink in a regular glass)
• Bottles of liquor
• Drinks offered at the gangway
• Cocktails meant for sharing
• Floaters, pitchers, tubes, or buckets
• Wines from the enomatic wine machines

If your cruise departs from Galveston or New York, the CHEERS! package doesn’t go into effect until 6 AM on the second day of the sailing.

Is it worth it to get a drink package on a Carnival cruise?

When deciding if it’s worth it to buy a drink package on Carnival, it all depends on how much you think you’ll be drinking. If you’re sure you’ll only have a couple of drinks each day, it’s a far better deal to just pay as you go.

For the average cruiser, five alcoholic drinks per day is about where the break-even point is for the CHEERS! package. If you like to drink higher-end wines or spirits, your break-even point could be lower. Remember, the package includes drinks that normally cost up to $20 each!

Your soft drinks, bottled water, and specialty coffees are also included, so factor those costs into your decision as well. Those little purchases can add up over the length of your cruise.

But if you have a cabin-mate who doesn’t drink much, it might not be worth having to buy an expensive package for someone who won’t get their money’s worth.

If you’re a soda drinker, Bottomless Bubbles can be a money-saver. Know you’ll have at least three soft drinks each day? Then it really makes sense to buy this package.

Cruising with an adult special needs grandchild who will not drink alcohol. Want to purchase Cheers package for me and my son. Doesn't sound like they will grant a waiver for my grandchild? Should I get a letter from her doctor?

Monday 11th of April 2022

Hi Karen, Carnival holds very firm to their drink package policy, and very rarely makes exceptions. Your best bet is to reach out to Guest Access at 1-800-438-6744 x 70025 and explain the situation. Hope this helps!

Do you know if I am in a room by myself (I pay double occupancy price) do I have to purchase 2 cheers packages or just 1

Wednesday 19th of May 2021

Hi Tammy, great question! Beverage packages are charged to individual passengers, so you won't be forced to pay a double charge if you're a solo traveler in a double-occupancy stateroom. You'll only need to pay for a single CHEERS! package. Happy sailing!

Wednesday 2nd of September 2020

Thank you for a very informative article. Just wondering how Cheers compares to pre-purchasing and having a liter (or two) delivered to the cabin. Also, where could I find a list of higher end spirits available?

Friday 4th of September 2020

Hi Sean, great question! It's definitely cheaper to pre-purchase a bottle, especially if you're drinking basic mixed drinks with one shot and a mixer. If a liter of liquor has 22 shots, and it costs $50-100 per bottle, you can definitely save money. I've never gone this route myself, because I don't spend much time in the stateroom and it's way more convenient to grab a drink from a bar. (You could make yourself a drink in your room and walk around the ship with it, but you'd have to go back to the room each time.) For a list of spirits that Carnival offers, go to https://www.carnival.com/in-room-food-beverages and click on "liquor" on the left. Happy cruising!

Monday 24th of August 2020

Hi Great article and some really good tips but I did read somewhere drinks packages are not available in Europe - Is that correct?

Hi Ally, I'm so glad you liked the tips! I reached out to Carnival just to make sure that nothing has changed. They told me that yes, the Cheers! package is available on European itineraries. I believe that at one point the package couldn't be sold in Europe, so you may have read an article somewhere with that older information. Happy cruising!

I had never heard of this drink package. Sounds like a great deal to chill and relax with a cocktail on hand!!!

Saturday 1st of August 2020

Jen, it definitely is! Most cruise lines also sell a similar package (Disney Cruise Line is one of the majors that doesn't). Also, many luxury cruise lines include cocktails, wine and beer in the cruise fare. (My post Which Cruise Lines Are All-Inclusive? covers which luxury lines do and don't include alcohol.) Packages are a great way to save some money and remove the stress of a bar bill at the end of your vacation.

So, in this Complete Guide to Drink Packages on Carnival, we detail all the plans, drink prices, and FAQs to help you decide if a Carnival drink package is right for your next cruise.

Carnival Drink Package Basics

There are a few basic things you need to know about the drink packages on Carnival before we dive into the details of each option.

• All drink packages on Carnival are priced as per person, per day.
• You must purchase a Carnival drink package for the entire length of the cruise. You cannot purchase just select days.
• The stated prices do not include the additional 18% service charge which is added when purchasing the package. Additionally, applicable state and local taxes will be applied to purchases made in U.S. waters once onboard the ship.
• Pre-purchased beverage packages are non-refundable and non-transferable after 9 pm ET the evening before departure.
• Drink packages on Carnival are not offered on 2 day cruises or charter cruises.
• You can use these packages almost everywhere on the ship. This includes the bars and lounges, complimentary dining venues, and specialty restaurants.
• However, they do not work at the cruise line’s private island Half Moon Cay or private destination Princess Cays in the Bahamas.

What drinks do you get for free on Carnival?

Some beverages are included in the price of your Carnival cruise fare and are available 24 hours a day in the Lido Marketplace. They are also free while dining in the main dining rooms. These options are non-bottled water, lemonade, iced tea, hot chocolate, and non-specialty coffee and tea. There are also complimentary juices available in the morning such as apple, orange, and cranberry.

How do you purchase drink packages on Carnival?

You can purchase drink packages on Carnival online pre-cruise or once onboard the ship. Purchasing your beverage package pre-cruise will save you 10% off the onboard prices.

The cut-off for pre-purchase is 11:59 PM the day before embarkation.

If you pre-purchased a Carnival drink package, it will be activated upon boarding the ship. You should head to a bar once onboard the ship for a sticker which will be placed on your Sail & Sign card.

Due to state laws, the Cheers package cannot be sold on the first day of the cruise on departures from Texas, New York, or Virginia. If you have pre-purchased a package, it will only be activated at 6 AM on the second day of the cruise. Drinks purchased on the first day of the cruise will be charged to the guest’s Sail & Sign card in the usual manner.

Can one person get a drink package on Carnival?

Of course, it is never mandatory to buy a drink package. The drink packages on Carnival are add-ons to your cruise vacation. However, there is no sharing of the package or using your package to order drinks for other cruisers.

So, if one guest in the stateroom wishes to purchase a beverage package, each adult in the cabin that’s old enough needs to purchase one as well. Cruisers must be 21 years of age or older to purchase the Cheers program (alcoholic beverage package).

What are the drink packages on Carnival cruises?

Carnival Cruise Line offers two drink packages. There is the alcoholic drink package, also known as the Cheers! Beverage Program. There is also the unlimited soda program, called the Bottomless Bubbles package.

How much is the drink package on Carnival?

• Cheers Package: Starting at $59.95 per person, per day
• Bottomless Bubbles: Starting at $6.95  per child or $9.50 per adult, per day

How do you get the best deal on a Carnival drink package?

You can save 10% on your Carnival drink package by purchasing before you sail. If you wait to get the package once on board, it costs $74.95 per person, per day.

How many drinks do you get with the Carnival drink package?

Soda and other non-alcoholic beverages are unlimited; however, you can not consume more than 15 alcoholic drinks per 24 hour period (6 AM to 6 AM). This does not just apply to the package; even if you want to buy additional drinks a la carte, you will not be permitted to within that 24 hour period.

No matter what package you choose, you can only get one drink at a time with a five minute wait time between orders. There are no double shots as that is considered ordering two drinks at once.

If guests purchase drinks for friends, one drink will count towards the Cheers package and the remaining drinks will be charged to the guest’s Sail and Sign account.

Of course, staff do have the right to refuse you bar service if you are intoxicated. Knowing your limits is just as important on a cruise ship as it is during your regular life!

What drinks are included in the Carnival drink packages?

When it comes to a Carnival drink package, cruisers can select from a number of alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. Below, we detail what is included in the drink packages on Carnival.

Cheers Program

Carnival Cruise Line offers only one alcoholic drink package, known as the Cheers Beverage Program. Many cruisers refer to this as the unlimited drink package, as it includes essentially all alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks for a flat daily rate.

The pricing of this package starts at $59.95 per person, per day (plus gratuity).

This plan covers all alcoholic beverages including beers, wine, and champagne by the glass, as well as cocktails and spirits worth up to $20. This also includes the self-serve beer stations.

Further, this Carnival drink package also includes soda, virgin cocktails, juices, specialty coffees and teas, milkshakes, energy drinks, Powerade and Vitamin Water, and 500 ml bottled water.

The Cheers Program also entitles cruisers to a 25% discount off of any drink costing more than the $20 allotment, wine and champagne by the bottle, and beverage seminars and classes.

However, there are some exclusions to the Cheers Program. This includes beverages sold in souvenir glasses and bottles of liquor. Also, drinks sold at the gangway, through room service, or the mini-bar are also not included in this beverage package. Sharing cocktails, pitchers, tubes, and buckets are not included either.

While there is a limit of 15 alcoholic drinks with this Carnival drink package, soda and other non-alcoholic beverages do not count towards this limit.

Summary of what’s included in the Cheers drink package:

• All spirits, cocktails, beer, and wine by the glass with a $20 or less menu price 
• Sodas, zero-proof frozen cocktails, energy drinks, specialty coffee, hot tea, 500 ml bottled water, and other non-alcoholic bottled beverages
• Packaged water in the main dining room and specialty restaurants
• 25% discount off the menu price for any spirit or wine by the glass above $20
• 25% discount off the menu price for wine and champagne by the bottle
• 25% discount off beverage seminars and classes

Bottomless Bubbles

Bottomless Bubbles is Carnival Cruise Line’s unlimited soda package. For one flat fee, cruisers can enjoy all the fountain soda and juices they want with this package.

The pricing of this package starts at $6.95 per child (17 years of age and younger) or $9.50 per adult (plus 18% gratuity).

Like the alcoholic drink package, you can only order one drink at a time, either a 16 ounce glass of soda or a 10 ounce glass of juice. Soda choices include Pepsi products. For juices, cruisers have the option of orange juice, cranberry juice, tomato juice, pineapple juice, and grapefruit juice.

Again, like the Cheers Program, this package does NOT work off the ship, even at Half Moon Cay or Princess Cays. Bottled water and specialty coffee are also not part of this package. Other exclusions include beverages sold at the gangway and room services orders.

Summary of what’s included in the Bottomless Bubbles drink package:

• Soft Drinks/Soda (Pepsi products)
• Juices: orange juice, cranberry juice, tomato juice, pineapple juice and grapefruit juice

Carnival Drink Prices

Below are a list of the sample drink prices on Carnival Cruise Line. You can also check out our bar menus from a recent Carnival Celebration cruise to determine the cost of your favorite beverages.

• Beer: starting at $6.50
• Wine by the glass: starting at $9.50 
• Mixed Drinks: $7.50 – $20.00
• Specialty Cocktails: starting at $10.50
• Soft Drinks: $2.75 
• Specialty Coffees: $2.50 – $4.25
• Energy Drinks: $4.95 
• Water: $1.50 – $5.00

Is the Carnival Drink Package Worth It?

This brings us back to the original question, are Carnival drink packages a good value? Essentially, the question is whether you will consume enough beverages to make the purchase “worth it.” 

Below are the average costs of the different beverages within each category. Using this chart, you can do the quick math to see if you would routinely hit the daily drink costs of the above packages.

Ultimately, you need to know your own habits to determine if the drink packages on Carnival will be a good value during your cruise.

Other considerations include the length of the cruise and how many ports of call are on the itinerary.

For instance, will you be able to sustain the same drinking pattern over the course of a 10-day or 14-day cruise? If your cruise is port intensive, will you be on the ship enough to make good use of your Carnival drink package?

The drink packages on Carnival certainly do offer convenience, as you never have to worry about the bar tab at the end of the cruise! They also make your cruise feel more all-inclusive.

While we don’t go overboard with alcoholic drinks, we do consume plenty of bottled water, specialty coffee, Vitamin Water/Powerade, and the occasional soda. Combining our alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink purchases, we usually recognize a cost savings with the beverage package.

Other Considerations

Of course, if you wish to forego a beverage package, you can always pay a la carte for your drinks purchased on the ship. You can also purchase items, such as packs of bottled water, pre-cruise via your cruise planner to be delivered to your stateroom.

Further, on embarkation day, guests are allowed to bring onboard a maximum of 12, 12-ounce cans/cartons of non-alcoholic beverages per person in their carry-on luggage. Guests 21 years of age and older may also bring onboard one 750ml bottle of unopened wine or champagne in their carry-on.

Thanks for all of this info. My wife and I will be taking our first cruise on the Carnival Panorama in May.

I like the drink package but do not agree with the pricing structure. For instance on a five day cruise you are charged for the day you leave the ship and you must leave by 8 A.M. why are you charging for that day? In addition the first day you don’t board until lunch so half that day is gone. I think a 5 day cruise should be based on a 4 day pricing structure, a seven day cruise should be a six day pricing structure, etc.

On a 5day cruise you only use for 4 days, so why do we get charged for 5 days.

Our first cruise (4ngt/5 day) we kept a conservative tab on drink expenditures and did not buy the package. We ended up spending between $80.00 -100.00 more then the unlimited Royal Caribbean Drink Pkg. This trip booked for 21 we have bought the DP for 50% off which means we should be $180.00 ahead-roughly speaking. In our case the UDP is a great bargain.

It’s infuriating to me that Carnival does not have a non-alchoholic refreshment package like Royal Carribean. I would love to not have to pay the more expensive price for a drink package that includes alchohol that I will not be consuming! Royal carribean offers this exact package and I love it. It’s a bit more than the soda package but obviously isnt as much as the packages that include alchohol. It’s about $25 a day and you can actually use it on their private island. Come on Carribean!!

They do. It’s called “Bottomless Bubbles” and its $8.50 a day. “Enjoy ice-cold refreshments during meals, during shows, during, well… anytime you want with Bottomless Bubbles. This unlimited program lets you indulge in all-you-can-drink soda and juice for the full length of your cruise. Sweet! Bottomless Bubbles is available for purchase at the Lobby, Casino and Pool Bars. Restrictions apply.”

But the BB package does not include the mocktails, eg virgin mary. Other cruise lines offer soda, juice and mocktail packages.

oops, sorry. I meant, come on Carnival.

Is carnival “considering” allowing the Cheers package on the private island (Half Moon Cay) for 2021 cruises? We have booked the Christmas Bahamas cruise on the Dream in December 2021. BTW- can’t wait to get back cruising again!!!!

Hey we are on the same cruise . It’s our first time cruising.

Do they have non-alcoholic beer on board? If so, is it included in the Cheers package? I can’t find any info on it and I’ve been on hold for over an hour with Carnival Customer Service.

Yes. They have Buckler and O’Douls.

does carnival offer seltzers (trulys,white claw, high noon, etc…) on board?

Interesting… If I purchase the BB package (for 4nights/5days), I am losing out. I cannot board the first day until after 12pm, I cannot take advantage of my BB purchase on either private island, and the cruise is over at 8am the fifth day. Right?

This info is not correct. if there are more than one person in the cabin that wants the cheers package everyone has to purchase it. Not available for only one person. Unless the person is underage. They do this so no one will share drinks. However we all know it is all about the money.

Why wouldn’t it be “All about the money”? It’s a business, not a charity.

Well on a 5-day cruise you actually only get 4 days use of drink pkg but get charged for 5 days. Doesn’t make sense. We disembark on 5th day.

Carnival Keeps Drink Prices At 2019/2020 Levels

Last Updated on August 1, 2021

Update 8/1/2021: we’ve added menus from some of the new bars on Carnival’s newest ship, Mardi Gras.

On July 3rd, Carnival Cruise Line launched its first passenger sailings in over 15 months. It’s been a rough time for cruise lines, with the COVID shutdown in the US all but closing up shop for these businesses. Cruise lines lost a lot of money; Carnival Corporation (the parent company of Carnival Cruise Lines) posted a loss of $2.1 billion for the second quarter of the year. A big fear was that cruise lines would jack up on-board prices to compensate for the lost income. This week we saw that this is NOT the case with Carnival. 

Increasing drink prices would have been an easy way to get some extra income once sailing resumed. Cruise lines don’t post their drink menus with prices online, and the time between cruises is so usually long, so if you increased the cost of drinks by a bit, almost no one would notice. Also, since Carnival is currently using electronic menus with QR codes, rather than print menus, they could easily change prices without worrying about the cost of printing new menus. Then again, Carnival is more of a budget cruise line, with the most reasonable single drink price we’ve seen. Increasing it could hurt their brand. 

Now with cruises sailing again, we’ve been able to see bar menus with the current prices. Then we compared those to the drink menus that we saw on one of the last cruises before the shutdown, a 7-day on the Carnival Horizon (see the live blog for this cruise ).  The good news is, Carnival’s 2021 drink prices have stayed the same as 2019/2020. 

Carnival 2021 Drink Prices and Bar Menus

Below you’ll find the bar menus we have available so far. We’ll update this post as we get more. Carnival has a pretty robust beverage program and usually has different drinks available at nearly every bar on a ship, so you’ll see a ton of drink options below. For drinks offered at multiple venues, the prices are consistent (i.e., a Coors Light and the Atrium Bar will cost the same as a Coors Light at the Pool Bar). 

If you want to see if the Carnival unlimited drink package (called Cheers) might be good for you. You can learn more about it the Cheers package here.

Atrium Bar Drink Menu

This bar is available on most Carnival cruise ships. While it has different names, this is the menu for the bar that’s in the lobby or atrium of the ship.
