Drink packages on the Carnival Elation

[judyh1894]

I am cruising in January 2018 and wanted to know if buying the drink packages is required or if you only drink maybe 2 drinks per day? At age 70 I am not into drinking a great deal. But I have read that if one person in a cabin buys a package the other person has to do the same. Help please.

You are not required to buy the drink package.

You can also post this on the Carnival Cruise Forum for more opinions:

Purchasing the drink package is not required; however, if your cabin-mate purchases Cheers, you must as well.

Purchasing the Cheers package is not required but if one of you in the stateroom purchases it, the other will have to as well

 

If you only drink 2 alcoholic beverages per day, it may not be worth the $50/day + 15% gratuity, unless you plan on also drinking a lot of non-alcoholic drinks - soda, specialty coffee, bottled water, virgin cocktails, etc......

[Hey Tina]

Replies in your post about this from last month confirm that buying a drink package is not required. It still isn't.

Purchasing a drink package is never required

 

However, on carnival, if one person in a cabin purchased cheers, all adults in the cabin must purchase cheers

 

So best way to look at it is whether the total consumption between the adult cabin mates will be more or less than the cost of cheers for everyone
