Heads up people Carnival Cruise Line has made a change to their CHEERS all-inclusive beverage program that is available on their cruise ships.

Carnival’s CHEERS package allows passengers up to 15 alcoholic drinks and unlimited non-alcoholic drinks per day for the price  of $51.95 to $56.95 depending on when it is purchased.

Previously, the package allowed for any drink up to $50 in value.  Drinks over $50 each were priced at a 25% discount.  Carnival has made a change and now the CHEERS! package is good for drinks up to $20.  Drinks over $20 will come at a 25% discount.

This pricing change has been updated on Carnival.com.  When did the change in price happen? GoCCL.com, a website for Carnival travel agents, says that the CHEERS! information page was updated on August 24, just before noon.

What does Carnival’s CHEERS! package include?

First of all, passengers must be 21 years or older to purchase CHEERS! and if one guest purchases it, every adult in the same stateroom must also purchase it. Sharing drinks is not allowed.
