Carnival Cruise Line 2023 Drink Menus and Pricing

Last Updated on November 19, 2023

Years ago, when you went on a cruise, you could expect to find the same standard drinks at every venue. A daiquiri, pina colada, maybe a mojito if they were adventurous with their menus. Today, you’ll find a much more varied offering. Craft beers, premium spirits, and carefully crafted cocktails…it’s a whole new game. Carnival Cruise Line, in particular, diversified their drink offering and has a custom drink menu for almost every bar on their ships. That’s pretty impressive, considering that a ship can have 10 – 15 bars.

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.

Carnival Drink Package
Carnival has a drink package available called “Cheers.” It will cover most of the drinks you see below. You can read more about the program here: All You Need To Know About Carnival’s Cheers Package.

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 CelebrationCarnival HorizonCarnival 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.
