Is the Cruise Drink Package Actually Worth It? 🍹🚢 Is the drink package really worth it — or one of the biggest cruise money traps out there? Let’s do the math. Carnival’s drink package runs about $58 per person, per day, plus 18% gratuity. On a five-night cruise, that’s roughly $353 per person — or $706 for two people in the same cabin. And yep, if one adult buys it, everyone in that cabin has to buy it too. To break even, you’d need around six cocktails or ten beers a day — every single day. You can drink up to 15 alcoholic beverages in 24 hours, but are you really hitting 15 and still enjoying your cruise? Plus, you can’t use your drink package in port — only onboard — and you’re charged for embarkation day even if you board late. Personally, I skip it. I bring a refillable water bottle, carry on soda, and a bottle of wine per person — all allowed on most cruise lines. But if you’re the “cocktails at sunrise” type, it might still be worth it for you. So what do you think — drink package or pay-as-you-go?
