What is "extra" onboard?

Recommended Posts

This is my second cruise, been a few years since our first. I was checking out the FunTimes for the Conquest (we will be sailing on the Oct 2 cruise) and was wondering what is extra to pay for? For instance, does it cost for BINGO? What about the build a bear activity for the kids?

 

Thanks in advance!

Pretty much everything but food in the MDR, food in the buffet, and entertainment.

 

That said, you do not have to do many or even any of the extra cost stuff to still have a good time. The last time a did a cruise which was 35 days long, my bill not counting tips and a few excursions that I could not book off ship was about $10. They do not make money on me.

Pilates, yoga, spinning classes in the gym (there are some free classes too though), services in the spa like massages, haircuts, facials. Shore excursions, gift shop items, the steakhouse. Room service is free but you should have some dollar bills to tip. Soda pop has a fee.

 

The kids program is free but if you want them to watch your kids in the evening (a group babysitting arrangement) that has an hourly fee.

Does Carnival offer a coffee card?

 

Coffee is free. They used to have a deal where you could buy a card and get 5 specialty coffees, which are better than the free stuff, for the price of 4. They had the same deal for drink of the day, but I don't think they do that any more.
