Overestimating your drinking habits. Many cruisers buy the package and find they don&#8217;t drink nearly enough to make it worthwhile. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The cruise line&#8217;s strict no-sharing and 15-drink limit can feel restrictive, especially for groups with uneven drinking habits or those who plan to split costs. As everyone in the cabin must purchase CHEERS!, it becomes unnecessarily expensive for them. And what if one among them is a teetotaler? Then it is a total waste of money!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"none\">How to Maximize Drink Package Value<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">To get your money&#8217;s worth from the Carnival CHEERS! Package:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\">Aim for at least 6\u20138 alcoholic beverages per day, or a mix of drinks that would otherwise cost $12 to $15 each. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\">Don&#8217;t overlook the specialty coffees, energy drinks, bottled water, and smoothies. These add up fast and can help you get value for your money if you&#8217;re a light drinker.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\">Spread your drinks throughout the day, try top-shelf cocktails (up to $20),<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\">Avoid over-consuming early so you don&#8217;t hit the 15-drink limit by sunset.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\"><strong>Note:<\/strong> Don&#8217;t worry too much about getting your money&#8217;s worth from the cruise drink package. The real concern is if you overindulge to the point of being so hungover or drunk that you can&#8217;t enjoy your cruise at all. A cruise hangover can truly be the worst.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Finally, we come to the most important question<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_It_Worth_Buying_a_Carnival_Drink_Package\"><\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">Is It Worth Buying a Carnival Drink Package? <\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It depends!

You get up to 15 alcoholic beverages per person in any 24\u2011hour window. But you can have unlimited, non-alcoholic drinks.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"none\">Can you share a drink package on a Carnival cruise?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Sharing a Carnival drink package is strictly prohibited. If you are found sharing, your package will be cancelled, with no refund. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"none\">Do both people have to buy the drink package on a Carnival Cruise?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Yes, all adults in a stateroom must purchase CHEERS! Carnival&#8217;s booking system enforces this policy automatically and will charge to your account.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"none\">I drink very little. Is it worth buying\u00a0a drink\u00a0package?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">If you drink only occasionally (1\u20132 drinks\/day), the package wouldn&#8217;t be cost-effective. It would be better for you to pay per drink. However, you can still enjoy complimentary beverages like tea, coffee, and water.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"none\">Can reserving CHEERS! ahead of time,\u00a0save me money?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Yes, pre-purchasing a carnival drink package gets you a 10% discount ($82.54\/day) compared to onboard rates (\u202f$88.44\/day).<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"none\">What if only one partner wants CHEERS!?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Carnival is very strict about the &#8220;no split package&#8221; policy! If one buys a package, all adults in a cabin must do the same!

All others must try to order a mix of premium cocktails (up to $20) and specialty coffees to reach around 6\u20138 drinks per day, plus free non-alcoholic options. This is the only way to justify the cost.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"none\">Can I still buy drinks \u00e0 la carte if I skip the package?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Sure!
