Is The Carnival Cruise Drink Package A Scam Or A Toast Worthy Plan?

[@mhart94]

My wife and I added up every coffee drink, milkshake, energy drink, and cocktail we got. Non-alcoholic drinks don't count toward the 15 drink limit. We averaged around 5 alcoholic drinks each per day. 2 coffees, 1 shake. Saved $473 by using CHEERS on a 5 day cruise.

[@westindianbaddiexo6560]

I also read that... Gratuities are also included with the Cheers drink package because you'll be paying an 18% service charge on top of the package price. If you're ordering drinks while within U.S. waters at a port or before embarking from your home port, you will still be charged tax. DANGGGGGGGGG

Did you know? That carnival cruise line is one of the only cruise lines that puts a limit to how many drinks you can have with your drink package. Do you think this is fair?

[@ocnsunsets]

All this information is literally on the Carnival website

[@TheBlueWaterClub]

Yes, these things are on the Carnival website most of them are buried in the fine print of the drink package. There are also a lot of people that have a lot of questions around the drink package because they are having a hard time finding the answer on the Carnival website. I want to bring some of these things to light about the drink package that are not well known to most people. So that people that are interested in buying the drink package understand what they are getting for their money. I in fact enjoy the drink package and purchase it myself but there are definitely things that users of the drink package should be aware of. Thank you for the comment and happy cruising

Are bars even open on the last morning?

[@TheBlueWaterClub]

@@eileensittingonarainbow6312 From what I can tell most bars are not open on debarkation day. But you can get a shot in your coffee etc. You also may be able to get drinks in other areas of the ship.

You’re not limited to just beer and wine on the first day out of Galveston. You’re limited to certain brands of all kinds of alcohol that are produced in Texas - or distributed by certain Texas distributors. Also, the benefit of top shelf is that it is of higher quality in taste (usually). Top shelf drinks will give you a hangover the same as any other brands. It’s the amount of alcohol that produces a hangover. Remember to drink water with electrolytes as you are partying.

[@jessicalockett4751]

You also pay for drinks from the restaurant. Ex: sea day brunch if you want a pressed juice your drink package doesn’t cover that.

[@mhart94]

Yes it does.

[@shawnstanford527]

Another way around everyone in the room getting the package is whoever don't want the drink package is a recovering alcoholic. Sounds extreme but it works every time.

[@mhart94]

That doesn't work.

[@shawnstanford527]

@mhart94 worked for me and the others on our ship that used the same line.

[@grayblanchard]

For many people, even people like me who will drink no more than three alcoholic beverages a day, it's better to pay for it out front and not worry about a large bill at the end

[@davekemo9683]

Just got back from a Carnival cruise out of LA and they did not charge us on the last day we got off the ship

[@lorealmontgomery2807]

really which cruise did you go on?

[@no1wolverinefan]

Yeah I was going to say the same thing. It's charged per night. I never got charged for the debarkation day

[@dianec9456]

Thank you - very helpful video!

[@davidbradshaw3593]

You can get more than beer and wine from the bar when sailing out of Galveston.

[@tmich4]

You do not pay for the last day. Think of drink package as number of nights not days.

[@bdeluca03]

Correct, it's 5 minutes in-between per drinks.

[@bdeluca03]

Are you positive Carnival charges on debarkation day between 6 AM and roughly 10 AM at most? I just priced it out on two (2) different cruises even though I get DOU Everywhere and they were only charging for 7 days on a 7 day cruise & not 8 days.

[@Charlie-zj3hw]

We learned to buy DOUBLES way better deal .. The drink package is lame the drinks come in small plastic cups 8oz

[@davidschull]

You're wrong. You are not charged for the day you disembark

[@texquin]

Great video but please do some research. Carnival is lying about a Texas Law. I live 30 minutes from the port in Galveston, and the Royal Caribbean Port is a block away from Carnival. As soon as you step on the Royal Caribbean Ship, your drink package starts. It has to do with state alcohol taxes that Royal Caribbean is covering, and Carnival does not. This is a huge lie!

[@bilnolin5967]

My man in this video sounds like he got all his drinks in for the video. Plus, you are not charged for the last day when you disembark

[@JeniLench]

You are not paying for the drink package on debarkation day!

[@esmoglo]

$420 per person for a six day cruise thats $840 not worth it

[@MrThanhnguye]

If we can’t drink on embarkation day which is around “USA COAST” or the U.S. regulations that we follow … it’s made sense that Not Charge for de-embarkation day…. Win and lose “I guess “

[@chefvld]

It’s doesn’t
