violetsmile Posted February 23, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Does carnival usually offer discounts on drink packages during the cruise? The only discount options I'm aware of are the following: 1. Cheers Package: You can buy this ahead of time or once on board on the 1st or 2nd day. 2. Cruise the Vineyard: You can purchase this in the MDR 3. Steakhouse: 1st night you can get a free bottle of wine, and the 1st and 2nd night you can buy bottles of wine for 50% off. 4. Buying from Bon Voyage (I hesitate to call this a discount at all, but it's an option that is probably cheaper than individual drinks).

cherbear4000 Posted February 23, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I don't mean to highjack the thread, but I also have a question about the drink packages. If you buy it online ahead of time, do you have to pay at the time you purchase it, or is it added to your sail & sign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaDaaa! Posted February 23, 2016 #7 Share Posted February 23, 2016 The drink packages ARE the discounts. If you drink a lot then it's cheaper than buying drinks individually. There are no discounts on the packages themselves that I am aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richmke Posted February 24, 2016 #11 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Does carnival usually offer discounts on drink packages during the cruise? If they did, it would undermine their ability to sell them at full price, as well as upset people who paid full price for the packages. 3. Steakhouse: 1st night you can get a free bottle of wine, and the 1st and 2nd night you can buy bottles of wine for 50% off. Do you have to dine there to get the discount? I have heard about people buying a few bottles, and they are delivered to the MDR later in the cruise when requested. Can you go to the Steakhouse and buy a few bottles for delivery later but not eat there? Edited February 24, 2016 by richmke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you go to the Steakhouse and buy a few bottles for delivery later but not eat there? I think you probably do need to dine there. The entire reason for offering the incentives is that those are days people are less likely to dine in the Steakhouse because they want to dine in the MDR those nights. They are trying to draw people in on those days to spend the extra money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
