Hello there,

Next year, I'll be going on a cruise for the first time with my wife and my brother and his wife.

We'll be on Carnival Ecstasy. Just have a few questions. I also asked the First Time Cruiser page, but they say you guys here might be more knowledgeable on the subject and when I asked Carnival directly, they were a bit vague.

They'll be making a stop on Half Moon Cay.

So when looking up shore excursions on Half Moon Cay, i saw that they have a walking trail.

But noticed that we have to pay for it. Do we really have to pay just to go on their walking trail? Or is paying for it, is just to include the tour guide?

And for their drinking package, I know that if one person in a room gets it, then everybody in the room have to gets it. But my brother's wife and I drink, but my wife and my brother don't drink. So can I list my brother's wife and me staying in one room, so we both can get it, while the other two don't have to pay it, and just get extra room keys for each other. Or since we're booking as one group, do we all have to get the drink package? And follow up, what about connecting rooms? If we get a connecting room, do we all have to get the drink package?

thank you both so much

Hey there, I'll be cruising for the first time next year on Carnival Ecstasy, so I just have a few questions, since the cruise lines themselves were a bit vague when I asked them about it.

So It'll be me and my wife with my brother and his wife and we'll be booking together for a connecting room. I do know that if one person gets the drink package, then everybody has to get it. The problem is that only me and brother's wife drinks, while my brother and my wife don't. So I'm wondering can only one room gets it the other don't have to get it? or is it like an additional card that they give you or is it attached to your sign in card? Cause if its the former, then we'll just set it up as me and my sister-in-law staying in one room, while the non drinkers stay in the other, so that we can only have to buy just for two people.

Or since we booked it as one big group, do everybody have to get it regardless.

2nd question is, when looking up shore excursions, I see that you have to pay to go on their little trail on Half Moon Cay. Do we really have to pay just to be able to walk, or is the payment of it includes the tour guide?
