Carnival Open Bar and Wine Program

[ashleyrae911]

Has anyone ever had the opportunity to buy the Open bar and Wine program? I will be cruising on Carnival Cruise lines in June 2007, and our groups travel agent offered this to us. It sounds like a great deal. But no one we know has ever used this before. It is a total of $200 for the program, which comes out to $40 a day, and i know that My Fiance' and I will spend more than that per day on alcohol..... So if anyone has any information on this it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!!!!!

Does anyone know if this is offered only to groups or can anyone get this?

[ashleyrae911]

Well I believe it has to be a group of 30 adults, but there is an alternative to people who are non-drinkers(AA, pregnant, etc.) but you must have approval, from carnival for these instances. and it is 200 per person. But still sounds pretty great to me!!! Considering my last room bill was over $700.00 just for myself....

[AmberMarie]

I wrote someone on the Carnival website, maybe they can give more info!

My TA does an all inclusive cruise several times a year. When I wasked her about it she told me its about $40 per day/per person day or $280 per person for a 7 day cruise. There is a minimumof 30 people in the group to be able to get this special. If you do not have 30 people they will not offer the all inclusive. It inclues most drinks and wine under $7.50 in price and I think it includes the gratuity. If you have a TA that you deal with regulary call an ask them for more details. I have been thinking about it, but haven't tried it yet.

I assume the group has to book together? The amount of people I've already "met" on my roll call is way over 30. I think I already know the answer which is that does not count since we didn't book together, sigh.

You have to be booked as a group, officially... and everyone in the group has to purchase the package...

Well, I actually have the paper work for the program in front of me and it really does sound good. My concern is "can it be to good to be true?" I can drink a good bit of alcohol as well as my Fiance', our main concern is will we be cut off once we reach a certain dollar limit, or is it unlimited??? And it is for drinks that are $7.50 or less. So does anyone know the actual $ amounts for mixed drinks (whether it be top shelf or not) and for the beer (any brand)?

Asley can you post a link to the information please???

Does everyone in your group have to sign up or do you just have to be traveling with a group?

Everyone in the group has to do it... they have made exceptions but you have to get approval. Sometimes it is better to just have those that don't want to do it sign up for it, and have othes in the group pitch in to pay them back... at least, that is what I would do :p I could pay 4 peoples way and still pay less than I would on my bar tab :o
