mkhayes23 Posted October 21, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Our last two cruises were with Royal, so I am rusty on Carnival. With Royal, they will often have sales online for purchasing drink packages like BOGO 50% off, discounts on excursions, etc. Does Carnival do the same or is the price what it is? My husband and I purchase the drink package and trying to determine if if I should be watching for a deal like with Royal or just buy it as is. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StolidCruiser Posted October 21, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Carnival has no need to inflate the cost of its product and then offer perpetual “sales” to make the price seem like a bargain (when you are paying more overall). That said, CHEERS never goes on sale. There will be occasional excursion package sales without predictability. Just book now and if the price goes down, call to have the price adjusted (or cancel/rebook). Happy cruising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury me at sea Posted October 21, 2018 #3 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I have never once seen Cheers offered at a sales price, other than it is cheaper to buy and pay pre-cruise than to wait until you are on board. If you think each adult in your party will spend $50.00 a day on drinks, purchase Cheers before you sail. Only once in the last several years have I seen a "sale price" on excursions. That was when Carnival, about 4-5 years ago, offered OBC at time of booking, good only toward excursions. And of course if you price matched later to a lower rate, you lost that OBC. Carnival, in my experience, has generally been straight forward in pricing. What you see is what you get, until the price increases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iria64 Posted October 22, 2018 #7 Share Posted October 22, 2018 When we booked our cruise for next year there was an offer for 10% or 20% (I forget which) if we booked an excursion within a couple of days after booking the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
