First it’s not urban legend because in 2013-2015 from NY the cheers package included day one. They sold it after the ship left and they retracted the sale price of drink minus the taxes. I was there - saw it, did it and remember it. 

 

As as for the math if it equaling out - I could. It tell you. If the break even point is 4-5 drinks and most people who drink on vacation will usually drink heavier the first day - I think they are ahead. If you don’t drink like myself then they lose. 

 

The other cruise lines lines don’t limit their drinks either out of New York. I have sailed NCL and Royal and always had the same liquor in port as out in the sea. It cost the same to sell a drink regardless of the brand and taxes collected according to the price. 

I was hoping this was still the case. I sailed on Splendor out of NYC in June of 15 and my drinks were zeroed out the first day minus taxes. 

Sorry if this has been covered already. I searched for an answer but I found conflicting information. We are booked on the Sunrise in the Captain's suite in June. I have never sailed in a suite on Carnival before. Does "priority embarkation " mean that we can arrive at the Port and get in earlier than our assigned time (11:30)? Also, does this mean the room will be ready? Or does one have to purchase FTTF for that?

Thanks 

I got the same email. Here's the fine print:
