Drink Packages

[dippydoo]

How much are drink packages on carnival. Do they offer just soda or is it combined with alcohol?

[MBP1]

All the info is readily available on the Carnival site, but here it is:

 

CHEERS (alcohol, soda, specialty coffee, etc.): $51.95/day pre-cruise, $56.95/day onboard.

Bottomless Bubbles (soda, juice, etc): Adults: $7.50/day Kids: $4.95/day

 

15% gratuity is added to both packages.

Also remember you can take your own soda on with you, 12 cans per person. You can also buy more in ports.

And Carnival will sell you all the bottled water you want for about the same price as at Walmart.

I am sailing Magic on Saturday. I just received this email yesterday saying that bringing your own water and soda IS NOT allowed. It does say specifically say bottled water and soda, but maybe they mean cans also. You can argue semantics, I suppose.

I don't bring my own soda or water aboard, just passing along the information. Perhaps this is a new policy change to include no more sodas allowed to be brought on board???

 

 

 

 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

CARNIVAL MAGIC

Dear Guest,

 



 

Your cruise is right around the corner and we want to provide you with important information regarding your embarkation experience.

• If you haven't done so already, visit us at www.carnival.com/OnlineCheckin to complete your Online Check-in and select your Arrival Appointment. Please plan to arrive within your appointment time as guests who do not arrive timely can expect to wait longer.
  

• Final boarding: In preparation for departure, all guests must be on board the ship no later than 60 minutes prior to the published sailing time or they will not be permitted to sail.
  

We also want you to know...

• Checked luggage service is only available until 2 hours before the ship's published departure time. Guests arriving after this time will be responsible for taking their bags on board.
  

• To enter the terminal, present your boarding pass and a government-issued picture ID (applicable to all guests 16 years and older), and citizenship documents (including any necessary visas).
  

• Guests are not allowed to bring bottled beverages, i.e., water, sodas and other non-alcoholic drinks on board. Please review our beverage policy located in our FAQs at help.carnival.com.
   
  
  
• Staterooms are ready at 1:30 PM. Guests who are scheduled to arrive before this time usually check their bags curbside so they can be free to enjoy lunch, which will be served on Lido Deck 10 and Deck 5 Ocean Plaza until 3:00 PM.
   
  
  
• Only mobility devices operated with gel, dry cell, absorbed glass mat, or lithium-ion batteries will be allowed on board. Batteries can only be recharged in a guest's stateroom. Due to safety considerations, mobility devices cannot be stored in corridors or public areas. Guests must be prepared to collapse their devices so they can be safely stored in a way that allows for safe exit from their stateroom. If bringing a scooter, please bring one that can collapse or fold so that it may be stored in the closet or underneath the vanity area. Once on board, guests may contact their room steward for assistance.
  

We are looking forward to welcoming you aboard for a FUN and memorable cruise vacation.

Sincerely,

Denese Waiters

Sr. Director, Guest Services - Contact Centers

The letter is poorly written. According to the link cans and cartons of non alcoholic beverage can be bright on board.

There are no semantics about it. The policy is no bottled items. This was started because of the time it took security to shake water bottles to prove it was water because of people smuggling on clear alcohol such as vodka, gin, rum or tequila. You can bring on 12 cans of soda or boxes of juice per person and another 12 per person at any port of call. Why would you assume that cans would also be banned when the letter specifically stated bottles?

So many new people get confused by this. They think drinks are banned from being brought on board when in fact, they're not. You're 100% correct. Bottles are banned, cans, are not.

I don't think they mind the ambiguity. Keeps those happy who want to bring them. Those who get confused may just buy it on board.

 

It never fails how many people during embarkation look at me when I'm carrying a 12 pack of soda and ask "you can do that?!"
