Carnival Drink Menus and Pricing (2024)
Last Updated on October 24, 2024
In the past, embarking on a cruise meant encountering the same routine selection of beverages across all venues. Your options typically included classics like daiquiris, pina coladas, and, if the menu dared to be bold, perhaps a mojito. Today, the drink landscape has undergone a significant transformation. Cruise ship bars now boast a diverse array of choices, featuring craft beers, premium spirits, and meticulously concocted cocktails. It’s an entirely new experience.
Carnival Cruise Line, in particular, has taken this evolution to heart, revolutionizing its drink offerings with a tailored menu for almost every bar on their ships. This accomplishment is noteworthy, especially when considering that a single ship can host between 10 and 15 bars.
In January through March 2024, Carnival rolled out new prices across the menu with increases of about $0.25 to $1.50 per drink.
Below you’ll find the bar menus found on the Carnival Cruise Line’s ships. Carnival has a pretty robust beverage program and usually has different drinks available at nearly every bar on a ship, so you’ll see a ton of drink options below. For drinks offered at multiple venues, the prices are consistent (i.e., a Coors Light and the Atrium Bar will cost the same as a Coors Light at the Pool Bar). When looking at the prices, remember to consider gratuities. Carnival automatically adds an 18% gratuity added to all beverage purchases.

Menu is from Carnival Jubilee October 2024.

Bar 820 is the indoor/outdoor bar located on the Carnival Celebration (it replaces the Bar Della Rosa on Mardi Gras). They specialize in cocktails with a distinct Miami twist and are made with Miami-sourced ingredients.

Blue Iguana Tequila Bar Menu
The Blue Iguana Tequila Bar is a pool-side bar located by the Lido Pool on almost every Carnival ship except for the Mardi Gras, Celebration, Jubilee, Firenze, and Venezia.
Bonsai Sushi Cocktail Menu
Bonsai Sushi is the place to go if you’re looking for fresh sushi on a Carnival cruise. While you’re there, have one of these specialty cocktails. Unfortunately, cocktails are unavailable on Ecstasy, Elation, Freedom, and Miracle as they have a Bonsai Sushi Express, not a dedicated restaurant.
Menu is from the Carnival Radiance January 2024.
Brass Magnolia Bar Menu
Brass Magnolia is a New Orleans-themed themed bar located in the French Quarter Zone on the Carnival Mardi Gras.
Carnevale Bar & Lounge Drink Menu
Carnevale Bar & Lounge replaces the Havana Bar found on the Vista-class ships. It’s inspired by the Carnevale di Venezia, an annual festival held in Venice. Guests will find live music and fine Italian wines and cocktails. It’s currently only available on the Carnival Venezia.
Casino Bar Drink Menu
The Casino Bar can currently be found on most Carnival ships except for the Horizon, Vista, and Panorama where they were removed (learn more here).

Cucina del Capitano Cocktail and Wine List
Cucina del Capitano is Carnival’s signature Italian specialty restaurant. It’s available on many ships across the fleet (see here for full list).

Emeril’s Bistro 1396 Drink Menu
Emerils Bistro 1396 is a quick-service restaurant located in the French Quarter of the Carnival Mardi Gras.
Fahrenheit 555 Wine List and Cocktail Menu
The steakhouse is a staple on almost every Carnival cruise ship. On the newer ships, it’s called Fahrenheit 555. On older ships, it may have a different name, like “David’s Steakhouse,” but the drink menus are similar.
Menu is from the Carnival Radiance February 2024.
Golden Jubilee Bar
The Golden Jubilee is a new bar that pays tribute to Carnival’s 50 years of sailing. It’s available exclusively on Carnival Celebration in the 820 Biscayne zone.
Golden Mermaid Bar
The Golden Mermaid is a new bar which features cocktails inspired by precious gemstones and metals are made with edible glitter, as well as drinks presented in pretty glassware and adorned with graceful garnishes for an elevated experience. It’s available exclusively on Carnival Jubilee in the Currents zone. It is located where the Brass Magnolia bar is on the Mardi Gras and Golden Jubilee on the Celebration.
Fortune Teller Bar
The Fortune Teller Bar is beautifully themed with some truly unique and out-of-this-world cocktails. It’s available exclusively on the Carnival Mardi Gras in the French Quarter zone.
Frizzante Bar Drink Menu
Frizzante is a new bar that specializes in bubble drinks and beverages on the Carnival Venezia. It’s located outside the new specialty restaurant and around the corner from the Gondola Lounge (Ocean Plaza on Vista-class ships). It offers bubbles, spritzes, and draft beers. Throughout the day, it also offer specialty coffees and biscotti.
Guy’s Pig & Anchor Smokehouse and Brewhouse Drink Menu
This bar may be confusing because Carnival uses odd naming for their venues. While many ships have “Guy’s Pig & Anchor BBQ,” few have the actual Smokehouse and Brewhouse, which has cocktails. The Smokehouse/Brewhouse is a sit-down restaurant with a large bar serving some great cocktails. They even have a brewery right inside this bar where they make their own beer! You can find it on the Carnival Celebration, Carnival Horizon, Carnival Jubilee, Carnival Mardi Gras, and Carnival Panorama.
If you’re a beer fan, I highly recommend the Brewery Tour for $30 a person. You can read more about the Carnival Pig & Anchor Brewery Tour here.
Menu is from Carnival Celebration September 2024.
Havana Bar Drink Menu
The Havana Bar is a Cuban-themed bar located on Carnival Celebration, Carnival Horizon, Carnival Jubilee, Carnival Mardi Gras, Carnival Panorama, and Carnival Vista. The inside of the bar is home to lively music most evenings. This bar also has an exterior section, but it’s only accessible to guests staying in the Havana area.
Menu is from the Carnival Mardi Gras February 2024.
Heroes Tribute Bar Drink Menu
The Heroes Tribute Bar and Lounge is a new venue from Carnival that honors the men and women that have served our country. You’ll find this menu on the Carnival Freedom, Carnival Firenze, Carnival Panorama, Carnival Pride, Carnival Radiance, and Carnival Venezia where the Heroes Tribute Bar replaces the SkyBox Sports Bar.
There is also a Heroes Lounge on the Mardi Gras, Celebration, and Jubilee but they don’t have a dedicated bar; you use the bar from Guy’s Pig and Anchor Smokehouse (above).
Menu is from the Carnival Radiance January 2024.
Il Viaggio
Il Viaggio is a new “elevated” dining experience currently only available on the Carnival Venezia.
JavaBlue Cafe Drink Menu
JavaBlue Cafe is the premier coffee place that’s on board about half of the Carnival ships. Ships that don’t currently have JavaBlue still have a stand-alone coffee shop under a different name but prices and beverage selection will vary. On Excel-class ships (Mardi Gras, Celebration, and Jubilee), Java Blue Cafe also offers sandwiches and snacks throughout the day.
Menu seen on the Carnival Jubilee October 2024.
Latitudes Bar Menu
The Latitudes Bar is dedicated to cocktails found around the world. It’s found exclusively on the Carnival Celebration in The Gateway zone. Our favorite drink here is the Sakura, served with an aromatic bubble on top (see how to make it here).
Main Dining Room Wine List
This menu is the wine list you’ll find in most of the main dining rooms across the Carnival fleet. If you prefer a cocktail, you can usually use the Atrium Bar Menu.

Ocean Plaza Bar Drink Menu
Ocean Plaza is located on the main promenade and is a great place to grab a drink before an activity happening in Ocean Plaza or if you’d like to grab a drink and sit outside on the Lanai. This bar is on the Carnival Breeze, Carnival Dream, Carnival Horizon, Carnival Magic, Carnival Panorama, and Carnival Vista.

Punchliner Comedy Club Drink Menu
If you’re going to a Comedy Show on a Carnival ship, you have some specialty cocktails to choose from. Some ships have a dedicated “Punchliner Comedy Club” venue. On the other ones, the comedy club will take place in the Limelight Lounge or another venue with “Lounge” in its name.
Menu is from Carnival Glory May 2024.
RedFrog Pub
The RedFrog Pub is the Caribbean-themed indoor bar that’s located on the lower level of many Carnival ships. It’s different than the RedFrog Rum Bar which is found in the Lido Pool Deck Area. You can find it on the Breeze, Freedom, Legend, Magic, Miracle, Pride, Radiance, Splendor, Spirit, Sunshine, Sunrise, and Valor.
Menus are from the Carnival Glory May 2024.
RedFrog Rum Bar Menu

SkyBox Sports Bar
About half of the Carnival fleet has a SkyBox sports bar where you can watch the game on the big screen and sample one of these cocktails. You can find the SkyBox Sports Bar on the Conquest, Freedom, Glory, Horizon, Liberty, Miracle, Pride, Spirit, Radiance, Sunrise, Sunshine, Valor, and Vista.
Tides Bar Menu
The Tides Bar is the outdoor bar on the aft, or back, of the ship. It may have a different name on some ships, but it’ll be the same menu.
Watering Hole
The Watering Hole Bar is located in the Summer Landing Zone on the Carnival Mardi Gras, Carnival Celebration, and Carnival Jubilee.
