Carnival Cruises Questions & Answers

A pint or large can of Heineken is $8.50 so you would need to drink 14 pints per day! A margarita is about $12 if I remember correctly. You would have to drink a lot to make it worthwhile! I spent about $1,600 for a family of 3 over 12 nights and had plenty to drink, bought stuff in shops, went to the casino etc. That drink package is so expensive!

15 drinks per day is a lot. We just came back off carnival.for 7 nights. Did not take drinks package as we drink about 6 drinks per day.

Don’t get me wrong I couldn’t drink 15 drinks every day for 15 days but hubby is Scottish so... the cap on the package is 15 alcoholic drinks per day and all adults in cabin need to get it if 1 wants it. At $8.50 a pint I think we’ll go on pay as you go. Maybe some days he will drink 15 pints but not likely every day and I certainly won’t!! Carnival customer support refused to give each price so I couldn’t work out if the package was expensive. It certainly seemed a lot to me!!

No u cant

Yes aud $ 5.50 for a large latte. Can make one Lido deck as well they are ok too.

There is a cost items vary from around 4 -7$ for food from 3$ upwards for drinks tea coffee and others more costly.

why do Carival cruises keep RIPING OFF Australians on their drinks packages .Their web site caters for Americans it gives them a much cheaper drinks package after conversion, we can't take a bottle of wine onboard BUT you can in America'their web page talks in fluid ounces .WE ARE AUSTRALIANS

Agree
Really annoys me...

Lots of cruisers said its better to pay by the glass unless your a person that likes to consume alot of alcohol daily. Seems alot of people drink less than the daily drinks allowance. Can get water, tea, coffee's hot choc, lemon drinks and island tea on Lido din8ng deck for free.

About $6.50 and up depending on beer and daily specials

Hi. Soft drink package about $8 per day. No alcohol package... you buy as you go. The soft drink package you can buy onboard. Very hard to drink $8 of coke each day as the soft drink is cheap anyway. Best not to buy the drink package IMO. There is unlimited free coffee, orange juice, icecream softserve and yogurt anyway in cones or cups and the water was pure and with ice... it was fantastic but easy to stack on a few kg.Try the Green Thunder cocktail.... brilliant. No money changes hands. Your boarding pass does it all. Very well thought out. Enjoy!!!

Cheers, thank you for the info :)

We would usually only drink Tea, Water and Alcoholic Beverages with Meals, by the pool or socially in the evening. Hence curious on prices for wine and beer.

Drinks packages are extra. Either soft drink or alcohol package.

Thanks but I’m after the price of a non-alcoholic mocktail.

Not sure on price but I can tell you a salesman called JAUN that works in funshop took my bracelet and necklace back to have it replaced that was June 2022 and still haven’t received it back he’s a thief

Vanuatu or Isle of Pines you can get off ship just ask your cruise Ship Staff when your on the cruise

On mare and Isle of pines you can walk off the tender and walk around. On Isle of pines you can walk over to a few different beaches. Unfortunately when we were there there were sea snakes in the water. You need to watch out for them. Snorkeling was fantastic. At mare there is a swimming hole right at the tender drop off. Lots of colour ful fish too.

approx. 4.50 about same price as sydney

As far as I am aware there is no cross over between Princess and Carnival. I asked this question before I cruised and was told there was no recognition.

This is disgusting. Carnival own Princess, P&O and Cunnard but there is no recognition between Carnival And the others. A total disgrace for such a large company. Also their Cheeers Package is a rip off at $119/day. The Americans get theirs for much less.

Hi mezz
If your doing Australia waters you should be ok, Fortunately the week I went the weather in Melbourne was 33 degrees every day 5 day straight so we only had 1 night we’re we have 2 meter swell and could feel while sleeping but apart from that could’ve got any better weather .
If you are mid ship you won’t feel much .

We had one night 2.5 m waves and very windy in the bass strait and because we where at the front of the ship we really felt it .

I had been to Sydney, Adelaide, Tasman Sea and in February 2022 New Caledonia. All leaving Port Melbourne. There was no problem whatsoever.
In 2015 on the cruise to Auckland it was a bit rough on the second and third day out. But most people got used to It and the return trip was well tolerated.

Yes. Allowed.

Thanks, are the smoking areas far away from bars, nightclub, entertainment

I've only been on the Carnival Legend, which is a "Spirit" Class ship. Smoking is allowed in 2 places. Deck 9 next to the pool, but only on one side of the ship (I think it's port side). And Deck 10, immediately above the smoking area on Deck 9. These are close to the poolside bars, but 7 decks above most of the bars and entertainment.

We had no trouble taking soft drink we purchased in Villa and Noumea aboard - a dozen cans of soft drink each time
