EVERYTHING INCLUDED IN A CARNIVAL CRUISE
Your cruise fare on Carnival Cruise Line covers the cost of your stateroom for the duration of the trip, including daily service by a stateroom attendant. The type of cabin you choose will be the biggest factor when determining your total cruise costs.
Like most cruise lines, Carnival Cruise Line's main dining rooms offer a multi-course rotational menu that changes nightly. All meals in the MDR are complimentary for up to 2 entrees.
Carnival also offers several more casual dining spots that are also included in your cruise fare. Some of these options include the Lido Marketplace buffet, Guy's Burger Joint, a Pizza Parlor, and Blue Iguana Cantina.
Further, there is always something to do on a Carnival Cruise Line ship that will not cost you anything. These complimentary activities include trivia, demonstrations, dance classes, movies on the lido deck, and more. There is also a gym, sports court, and a kids' program.
Guests can also enjoy nightly signature entertainment in the main theater. From headliner acts to Broadway-style Playlist Productions, you don’t want to miss out on these shows.
Of course, there is live music throughout the ship in the evenings as well as plenty of bars serving up your favorite cocktails. While the music is free, the drinks will cost extra.
Regardless of your interests, there is plenty to do, see, and eat while on your Carnival Cruise vacation without paying anything extra.
However, there are also upgraded experiences and add-ons that are not included in the cruise fare.
WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED ON CARNIVAL CRUISE LINE
Cruise gratuities are services charges that are not included in the standard cruise fare, similar to a hotel resort fee. These additional fees are a per person, per day dollar amount that are charged to all guests across all stateroom categories.
Unfortunately, shore excursions are not part of the cruise fare either. While you can get off in port and explore on your own, organized tours will cost extra money.
Further, you will need to purchase an internet package if you want to stay in touch with family and friends, as WiFi is not part of the cruise fare on Carnival.
While there are many dining venues covered in the cruise fare, perhaps the most of any cruise line, there are up-charge dining venues as well. From the signature steakhouse Fahrenheit 555, to Rudi's Sea Grill, Bonsai Sushi and Teppanyaki, and Cucina del Capitano, some restaurants on Carnival cruise ships will cost you extra money.
As you might expect, alcoholic beverages are not included in the standard cruise fare either. Beverages like specialty coffees, soft drinks, bottled water, and energy drinks are all an additional fee too. If you plan to consume any of these beverages on a regular basis, you should consider purchasing a Cheers drink package.

Let us know your experiences sailing with Carnival Cruise Line. 👇
Most people fail to realize that even though gratuities are automatically placed on your sign and sail receipt, they are NOT mandatory. You can opt out and pay what ever you deem necessary to each worker during your stay instead of letting the cruise line force you to pay a predetermined amount. The cruise lines use the automatic gratuity fee as means to pad their profit margin by not paying their workers a livable wage and to shame their customers into mitigating their unfair compensation policies. Being an accountant for 2 major cruise lines I know that only 20 - 25% of the pool of gratuity payments actually go to the workers. The rest is kept by the cruise line as miscellaneous profit. So, the next time you book a cruise and see the option to "pre-pay" for gratuities or see it on your final bill, you will know that only a small portion of it is actually going to the worker.
Okay what are we suppose to do. 🤷🏽♀️ I just pay mine up front because believe it or not they going to get it out of you either way!! 😀
@@carmenjackson4597 opt out at the the booking, and then near the end of the cruise once they added the gratuities to your bill, goto guest services and have them take it off your bill and tell them you will pay then cash. Then you can pay each attendant as you wish.
I have always left it on there but on my next cruise I’m taking it off.
That’s super unethical!
@@gunnerbakke5020why else do you think they mostly hire contracted workers from East Asia?
My family is going on a cruise with the Carnival Freedom ship in September. We are extremely excited because this will be our first time ever going on a cruise.
Freedom was a great trip. I hope you enjoy!
just got told that I'm going on a carnival cruise in ten days! never been on a cruise so I'm pumped
Have a great cruise.
We prefer Carnival over other lines. It has the best “free” casual dining at sea. Guys, Shaks, Blue Iguana, pizza & more. The buffet is ok though mdr is better in my opinion. Don’t miss the free soft serve as it’s sometimes tucked away.
This seems to be such an amazing place. Experiences like this is why I also love making videos. Keep up the great job. Subscribed!
Carnival is just quintessential American fun. Value for money and way more inclusive to divide people by preferences and or likes, rather than just money. Lots of free food. Love lobster formal night! 😅
Well put together video Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
I’m going next week so I’m here for it
There are a lot of surprise charges when you begin cruising but it becomes 2nd nature once you’ve done it a couple of times 🐸
Very true. Thanks for watching.
Newer cruise line virgin voyages has all inclusive. Almost never have to pull out your wallet.
Thank you. My dad and mom cruise 🛳 with carnival alot . And totally keep recommending it. But they said to stay off new boat said way to big drop down a level .
This ship is beautiful!
Thank you 😊
You’re welcome!
Going on my first one in August 2023
thank you so much
You’re welcome. Have a great cruise.
So excited for our cruise 😁😁
So if I have cheers I could get get the water in the dining room for free plus soda also ?😊
Im so glad that Australia has there gratuities included in our basic fares :) we always tip extra to our room steward (regardless of the service if it's good or not) and to the bar staff and waiters in the main dining room if the service is good :)
is the ship the mardi gras?
Cucina del Capitano, and Java Blue are an additional charge. They were last month when I cruises and still listed that way online. Cucina was free for lunch years ago, not sure if that’s still the case. Or has this changed?
cucina del capitano was/is complimentary on Excel Class ships (Mardi Gras and Celebration). The coffee at Java Blue is an upcharge but most of the food there is complimentary.
I do have a question about the ports your stopping at.. are there free activities that you can do and can you get off the boat at ports if you dont have anything booked with the ship? Also if im a cronic eater that just loves to eat at random times all day every day will my belly have access to food of my choice for free?
There’s all kinds of free activities and I’m pretty sure anyone is aloud to get off the bout but you have to be back before they leave obviously😂 and I’m not sure if there’s free food at all times but there’s definitely plenty of ways to eat that’s for sure
Never been on a cruise. We have one planned in June. I have a inside cabin and was looking to see if they will have a free upgrade before then. How is the inside cabin and where should I look for an upgrade? Thanks.
I've only been on one cruise and Norwegian contacted us before the cruise where we could bid on an upgrade for our cabin....I think it started at 50 dollars per person. I have motion sickness so I wanted to stay in an inside cabin for our first cruise. Just my experience
Thanks❤
You’re welcome.
@@mewarner84 i love an inside cabin

None of the dining is free… you pay for what you are getting… you just get to choose the location and what you eat at each meal! 😊🥘
Do they have poker room in this cruise?
Most do yeah
@@crispycream6385 oh cool thanks👍😎
A limit of 15 alcohol drinks per day😅... I might be a little ripped at 3... or maybe thats what they hoping... ill forget how many I had.😂I need ALLLLLLLLL my beverages sent to my room please...
Us too. LOL.
My wife does not drink, so it is not worth the drink package. I would have to drink so much to make up the cost. As anyone that is 21 in your room has to get the drink package if one signs up for it.
Lol you won't drink 15 and you won't want to😂
@@missdee7045 you right😂...but I plan to push it to limited... i don't believe in wasting nothing after the COVID ... PTSD after they wouldn't let me purchase nor give me a pack of pork chops... I had to chose between the bacon the pork ribs or the chops...😢 my momma praying for me now...trying to talk me out of it... GIRLSS GONE WILD MID LIFE CRISIS EDITION ...😂😂😂 got my bail money ready😂😂😂😂...you welcome to join... I heard
.. IT AINT FUN IF THE HOMIES CANT HAVE NONE🤣😂🤣😂 Now thats what I heard😅
@@allthewayinsmith2441
Lmbo😂😂😂😂😂 have fun be safe!!!! When do you cruise?
BURGERS 🍔🍔🍔
Sorry sir i just want to know How to apply for a job in your company?
My first cruise was Norwegian and now I'm considering Carnival but I'm hearing negatively and it's "ghetto" can I get some true and honest feedback from anyone who's been on Carnival?
We have never seen or had an issue on carnival. We love the parties, their cruise directors are the best.
I just came off of a 7 day on Carnival Celebration at it was amaazing...planning my next one already
This is disappointing to read. I just booked a cruise for June with Carnival for first time. Hoping all goes well first ever cruise, so I am keeping my mind open and trying to make my own opinions.
@@darrinolson9751 same for me
I've done 9 carnival cruises never had an issue. I've always done the bigger, newer ships. The Vista class. Very nice😊
Where can I smoke?
There's areas on the ship and next to a bar. Consider buying duty free smokes
@@stoehrcovwhat is duty free smokes?
not on the balcony is all i know
@@floridagirl386tax exempt for use outside USA.
Carnival ships you're boy jason statham boyfriend ❤❤❤❤
Just finished the 7 day Spirit trip from Seattle to Juneau. No one is going to spend 3-4 K on a vacation and tell you they were not impressed but I have never been that weak so here goes. My trip was partially paid for by a relative or I probably would never have gone on a cruise, I am just not a fan of big crowds. But, if you love staying in hotels and airports, eating marginal food, and paying exorbitant prices for drinks, cruising is for you. The name "Carnival" says it all; marginal to awful food, enough scooter riders to host a race every day and low budget entertainment. There is no place on the ship annoying music is not playing, so maybe other lines are better, I will never know. Alaska was great, but any place that cruise ships stop have been turned into tacky souvenir towns. I could have had way more fun with the $1,200 we spent to watch one whale sleep for 20 minutes. The White Pass train I did enjoy, but it never stopped at the pass.
5 of the 8 of us are still sick with a very nasty virus. "Cruising" the gift that keeps on giving. Seriously....no one looked happy on this ship the whole time. As people where their gold and platinum keys like some special badge of honor I just laugh inside at them and think to myself "why aren't they smiling"?
You sound like a naturally unhappy person.
Never again, the Legend out of Baltimore was a horrible experience, Food was awful, shape of ship was, rusty, brokes glass mirror floor tiles broken etc I’m done with Carnival
Sorry to hear that. We enjoyed our cruise on Celebration.
They said the "Legend " .Hope they were exaggerating as I have a cruise on the Legend in October. All my other cruise s on Carnival were Great!
YOU ARE SO NICE
