kcdd Posted July 24, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Last year before we sailed on Royal Caribbean they had a special for a limited time on ordering the drink packages ahead of time (more so than usual). Just wondering if Carnival ever does the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemanbobswife Posted July 24, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 24, 2017 It's $5 pp/per day cheaper if you purchase it ahead of time through the Fun Shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Carnival's price never changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one time it was less but I don't recall the details and I don't think it was a sale. Maybe it was different prices based upon the number of days the cruise was? It could have been around the time they changed it to include all the nonalcoholic drinks as well but I can't be certain. Hopefully someone that knows for sure will chime in. But other than that, no. I have never seen a sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is cheaper if you buy ahead of time - if you wait til on board you pay $5 more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted July 24, 2017 #8 Share Posted July 24, 2017 For a short time in 2014 they experimented with "tiered pricing" and were charging $42.50/day, but since then they've gone back to $49.95/day + 15% = $57.44/day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted July 24, 2017 #9 Share Posted July 24, 2017 NCL, Celebrity and RCCL are the lines noted for offering free or discounted booze packages. It pays to compare full pricing if you're thinking of purchasing Carnival's Cheers pkg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icesk8rReedy Posted July 24, 2017 #10 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Another way to save money is the discounted Carnival gifts cards. I did that and saved $80. $800 worth of cards for $720. That about the best I can find and I will buy online in advance to save the $5/pd as opposed to buying on ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
