Carnival Drink Package Pricing
You can either pre-purchase it before you set sail, or you can decide to wing it and buy it onboard. Personally, I love a good pre-purchase. Why? Because it’s like treating yourself to a present before you even step foot on that glorious ship. Plus, it saves you the hassle of dealing with long queues and grumpy bartenders once you’re on board. #Winning
Pre-Purchase Price is $59.95 USD per person per day
OnBoard Purchase is $64.95USD per person per day
Keep in mind all prices do not include an 18% service charge (or gratuity), so actually, with that, you are looking at $70.74 per day with prepurchase or $76.74 per day purchasing while onboard.
