Carnival Keeps Drink Prices At 2019/2020 Levels

Last Updated on August 1, 2021

Update 8/1/2021: we’ve added menus from some of the new bars on Carnival’s newest ship, Mardi Gras.

On July 3rd, Carnival Cruise Line launched its first passenger sailings in over 15 months. It’s been a rough time for cruise lines, with the COVID shutdown in the US all but closing up shop for these businesses. Cruise lines lost a lot of money; Carnival Corporation (the parent company of Carnival Cruise Lines) posted a loss of $2.1 billion for the second quarter of the year. A big fear was that cruise lines would jack up on-board prices to compensate for the lost income. This week we saw that this is NOT the case with Carnival. 

Increasing drink prices would have been an easy way to get some extra income once sailing resumed. Cruise lines don’t post their drink menus with prices online, and the time between cruises is so usually long, so if you increased the cost of drinks by a bit, almost no one would notice. Also, since Carnival is currently using electronic menus with QR codes, rather than print menus, they could easily change prices without worrying about the cost of printing new menus. Then again, Carnival is more of a budget cruise line, with the most reasonable single drink price we’ve seen. Increasing it could hurt their brand. 

Now with cruises sailing again, we’ve been able to see bar menus with the current prices. Then we compared those to the drink menus that we saw on one of the last cruises before the shutdown, a 7-day on the Carnival Horizon (see the live blog for this cruise). The good news is, Carnival’s 2021 drink prices have stayed the same as 2019/2020.

Carnival 2021 Drink Prices and Bar Menus

Below you’ll find the bar menus we have available so far. We’ll update this post as we get more. 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). 

If you want to see if the Carnival unlimited drink package (called Cheers) might be good for you. You can learn more about it the Cheers package here.
