The ever popular "what's included" question for a newbie!

[argoisin]

I'm a newbie cruising the Carnival Miracle this sunday for 7 days. I'm sure this has been asked 1,000 times, but when I did a search it didn't come up. I've gathered that all beverages except water and tea are NOT included and that certain restaurants outside the main restaurant are NOT included... however, what about the Suishi bar, Pizzeria, Deli, etc.. that are offered. Are these all ala' carte' pay as you go food counters?

 

I'm also curious what the drink price range is...

 

e.g Glass of Wine costs... $$

Beer costs... $$

Soda costs... $$

 

Any help would be appreciated. :rolleyes:

There is also coffee, juice, lemonade, fruit punch and ice tea included. You pay for anything with alcohol or pop. Usually there is one reservations only restaurant on most ships $30 per person, I personally havent tried one. the 24 hr deli, pizza, ice cream is all included. Some ships have a coffee and desert bar that is extra charge. The sushi (not available on all ships) is included. Also room service is included, but usually tip a $1 or $2 I am not sure of the cost of the drinks someone will come along with that answer soon. :)

PS There are also free juice and punch dispensers in the buffet.

And you get espresso etc. for free in the dining room, but have to pay for that outside of the dining room.

Sushi on the Liberty did not include a Japenese Grill. We had friends who tried it they thought it was ok.

If you do not drink alcohol (Beer/booze) or soda pop, you can pretty much go the entire cruise and not spend a dime.

 

Hypothetically, of course.

 

**for the sake of this discussion, the term "free" means "included in your price"**

 

Breakfast, lunch and dinner in the dining room is free

Food from the buffet is free

Juice, coffee, tea from buffet is free

Tap water (cabin or buffet) is free (Bottled is not)

Room service food is free (please tip for delivery)

Shows/entertainment is free (bingo is not)

 

 

YOU WILL PAY FOR:

Beer/booze

Soda/Bottled water

The specialty gourmet restaurant

Specialty Coffee & Pastry at Coffee Bar

Some entertainment games, like Bingo

Guided shore excursions

Gambling

 

 

I think that covers it
