On your upcoming Carnival cruise, you can expect to pay around $7.50 to $8.50 for a domestic beer and $8.25 to $9.75 for premium or imported options. A glass of wine generally ranges from $10.75 to $15.50, while a bottle typically starts around $35 and can go upward depending on the selection. Cocktails are usually priced between $12 and $14.25 each, and non-alcoholic drinks such as sodas or juices cost about $2.75 to $3. All beverage purchases automatically include an 18% gratuity, which is added to the listed price. These prices are consistent across the fleet but can vary slightly depending on the ship and sailing itinerary. The main drink package available is called CHEERS!, which lets guests aged 21 and older pay a flat daily rate for a variety of beverages. It includes most spirits, cocktails, beer, and wine by the glass up to a certain value, as well as soft drinks, bottled water, specialty coffees, and energy drinks. 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.
The Bonded Store is open to all ages during the day (with supervision for under 13s) but restricted to 21 and older after 6:00–7:00 p.m. for alcohol service and evening events, with a Carnival curfew requiring under 18s to be accompanied after 1:00 a.m. The drinking age is 21, enforced by keycard/ID checks.
