Group cruise and "alcohol packages" question

[retiredAF]

Does anyone know if Carnival offers any kind of alcohol packages for group cruises? A friend had gone on a group cruise on another line a few years ago and they had a deal that if a minimum number of folks in the group signed up for an "alcohol package" (cost was $250 per person at the time), they had a similar arrangement to the bar as at an all inclusive resort.

Thanks!!

I believe they might have one. If I remember correct, at least 30 people and everyone must pay even if they do not drink

Thanks! We already have the group started with a t/a so we just need to convince her to offer this option. Thanks for confirming Carnival offers it!

That works out to be something like 9-11 drinks a day just to break even on the deal. Now, myself and a couple of buddies could probably do some serious damage, but 30 people? I have a hard time believing a group of 30 people can justify a $11,550 bar tab on beer and well liquors.

well, all ya need to do is observe the activities on my upcoming splendor cruise...you will be convinced it can be done. our bar tab will be cut in at least half if we drink any where near what we drank on the same cruise last year. quite a few of us order doubles all day, so that only works out to like five drinks each per day. we can do that before we finish breakfast.....lol

Tiffany,

 

Please send the info to: dkelly@nysrs.com

 

I wish we could get one of these going for either the Miracle or Pride (so no flying to port), but we're willing to look at all!!!

 

Thanks,
