Quiet Indoor Lounge and Bar
Charlie’s Bar is an indoor lounge and bar area offering a quiet, comfortable space for guests to enjoy drinks and conversation. The venue features a long bar counter with additional seating at nearby tables and chairs. It serves a selection of cocktails, beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages, with service available throughout the afternoon and evening. The lighting is subdued, and background music plays at a low level to maintain a relaxed atmosphere. Guests often stop by before dinner, after a show, or for a calm drink later in the night.

There is a daily limit of 15 alcoholic drinks within a 24-hour period, and beverages above the value limit receive a discount instead of being fully included. Carnival also offers separate non-alcoholic packages for guests who prefer soda and juice options. The standard alcoholic drink package (called CHEERS!) costs $82.54 USD per person, per day when purchased before the cruise embarkation. If you wait to buy the package onboard, the price rises to $88.44 USD per person, per day.
