Drinks up to $15 are included without any additional charges (gratuity up to that amount is included in your package). If you buy a drink that costs $18 you pay the difference plus the gratuity. For me, paying in USD, it would be: $3 plus .54 (not sure if they bill you in $$$ or your home currency, but you get the idea on the pricing!)

Thanks for the clarification:) much appreciated. I think i just got confused reading through this post, i've only cruised with carnival before and just paid for my package upfront and signed reciepts with zero balance so its all new:)

Just booked up in the UK and got the free UBP which includes gratuities.I understand this is an old post but have a couple of questions:

1. Does the upto $15 mean drinks up to $15 including gratuties or are they additionally added on?
   
2. Does anyone have an updated drinks price list?
   

Thank you to anyone who can offer advice:)
