Carnival Cruise Line has announced an increase in prices for some of its popular onboard services. Passengers will now pay more for drink packages and Wi-Fi, two commonly purchased items during cruises.
The cost of the Cheers beverage package has risen significantly. Precruise purchases have increased from $59.95 to $82.54 per passenger, per day, while onboard purchases have gone up from $64.95 to $88.44 per passenger, per day. This marks a rise of nearly 38% precruise and about 36% onboard.
For a seven-day cruise with two people, this translates to an additional $316.26 if bought precruise and $328.86 if purchased onboard, excluding an 18% service charge added to the package price. Carnival requires all passengers aged 21 and older sharing a room to purchase the Cheers package if one person buys it, with no exceptions allowed.
