Last minute cruise booking! Fascination 3/17 Question about drinks and kids club

[CrystalBelle]

Off a whim I decided to try to find a cruise during the kids spring break. I found one for the exact dates I needed within driving distance so I booked it. After looking around I have a few questions.

 

Drink cards? I understand there is a soda sticker but then I also read somewhere there is an alcohol one too? Is this something that you purchase ahead of time? Is it $50/day for up to 15 drinks!!! I will never drink that many but I could probably do 4 or 5 a day.... does it include wine/beer and liquor?

 

The kids activities. Are they included on ship?

 

Any other tips/advice would be awesome. I can't find a search the forum button or I would have just searched for the ship but maybe someone can add some advice/tips for sailing with 3 children!

We will be on this ship for spring break too! Can't wait! I know there is an alcohol card but not sure how much it is. There is a forum where that info is posted! Enjoy!

There is an alcohol one and it is called the "cheers beverage program". You can purchase them at the Atrium Bar, Casino Bar or the bar at the main pool area. The cost of this program is $50 plus 15% gratuity that's added on at the time of purchase per person per day and is limited to 15 drinks a day. Now this does include all wine, beer and liquor but only with a $10 or lower menu price.

 

 

In addition to this program, you are entitled to:

 

25% discount off the menu price for bottled water

 

25% discount off the menu price for any alcohol that is above $10

 

25% discount off the menu price for wine and champagne by the bottle.

Y0u can buy spirits, booze, etc from Bon Voyage PRIOR to sailing. Order at least one week ahead. Need your name, book. no., sailing date and ship.

The booze is pricy but if you want to drink in your cabin prior to dinner this is the best bet.

Call during business hours. 800 533 7648

 

Google Carnival Bon Voyage for prices and amounts.

All spirits are in a one liter bottle and about $65.
