Is the drinks package ever included as a booking perk?

Looking to book on the Splendor for December and not sure when to do the booking, since the perks seem to change every week.

 

Is the 15 drinks/day package ever offered for free as a booking perk, like NCL does? If not, what perk should I hold out for? It seems like it has mostly been reduced deposits and small amounts of OBC in the time I've been checking prices.

Carnival doesn't.

A private TA might

Don't look for a perk worth more than 50% deposit or some OBC.

Other cruise lines do though. I've never seen it with Carnival.

Never seen Carnival give the Cheers Program as a booking perk, but I have seen Royal Carribean do so. However if we are being honest its not really a "free drink package", sure you aren't paying for it but you can bet the price was thrown into the cruise fare.

I can tell you Princess just did it for our 2016 cruise.....that's a $350 pp incentive that worked for my wife and I who would never purchase one.

But have you noticed NCL cruise prices are not as low as they used to be?

I've had a travel agent give me free drink coupons. Reduced deposit, cabin upgrades, and OBC is about all I've seen offered from Carnival.
