Carnival drink package limit

[CaseyLynn]

I know it says limit 15 drinks per day with the Carnival drink package. Do they really track?

[CruiserBruce]

Yes, they do.

Yes, they do.  It will print out on the "receipt" that you get with each drink, as well.  BTW, the limit is only for drinks containing alcohol.

I have no interest, at all, in any drinks package, but I just thought of this.  Suppose a person with such a package did reach the max for the day.  It sounds like on Carnival that would be 15 drinks.  Let's further say that such a person is still thirsty and orders a 16th drink.  Am I correct in thinking that he/she would be served, and that drink would be charged to his/her shipboard account?

 

I would assume that the ship would not "cut off" any paying customer unless, of course, that person was obviously drunk and acting improperly.

 

I have been wrong many times in the past, though.

On Carnival, they will not serve you if you surpass the 15 drink limit; HOWEVER, you can begin purchasing drinks "for a friend" just prior to the limit, thereby bypassing that control.

I'll be darned.  Thanks.

 

I'm wrong, again.  Well, no big surprise, there.
