mom4mj Posted April 16, 2009 #1 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I'm pretty new to cruising. As you can see only 1 previous cruise. This time we're taking our kiddos with us. What beverages are free on Carnival cruises? I know that nothing carbonated is free, but what about iced tea and lemonade? And are the same beverages free whether you get them at the buffet or main dining room? What about at a bar? Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wennfred Posted April 16, 2009 #2 Share Posted April 16, 2009 In the Dining room, Milk, Ice Tea, Coffee, up on Lido Deck, (buffet) The juices there, tea, coffee, milk. You have to pay for Liquor and Sodas and the fancy coffee like Chai Teas and lattes over in the Cafes. Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wennfred Posted April 16, 2009 #8 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Bring a 6 or 12 pack of your favorite soda and water with you, carry it onboard with you and do not put it in your check luggage for obvious reasons :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Charlie Posted April 16, 2009 #9 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Thanks Dianne! I'm excited about the espresso and cappuccino in the dining room. I truly enjoy a cup of cappuccino with my dessert. I regard the free cappuccino as an important perk on my cruise. NCL also offers free cappuccino and espresso in the dining room. Dianne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulsacubfan Posted April 16, 2009 #10 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Cappuccino and expresso are free in the dining room for both lunch and dinner. Dianne Can I assume they are free in the dining room at breakfast as well? And can I assume I could get a latte in the dining room free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisingbajan Posted April 16, 2009 #12 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I was also interested in the response to this post. However I am still not sure if you can get ice tea/juices in the dining room during dinner as wennfred and nylori gave conflicting responses on the dining room question OR it maybe possible I just misunderstood.:confused: Could someone please confirm if they are free in the dining room. Sorry guys its been a long morning. Thanks for calrifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra1365 Posted April 16, 2009 #15 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I have also taken advantage of the Soft serve Ice cream with coffe or hot chocolate. I get a cup of hot chocolate (about half full) and put a dollop of chocolate ice cream in it. Or half a cup of coffee and use the ice cream for creamer. Do that with Espresso and it makes a mocha latte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justbeachy22 Posted April 16, 2009 #17 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Does anyone know if they have lactose-free milk? My son (age 4) can't have "real" milk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted April 16, 2009 #18 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Does anyone know if they have lactose-free milk? My son (age 4) can't have "real" milk. Not sure. You need to advise your booking agent/PVP about his allergy. If they know far enough ahead, they will have Lactaid or another lactose-free milk just for him.:) OR, there are pills in chewable form now.

Charlie Thanks. I actually drink my coffee black, but my husband likes a latte. I honestly have no idea the difference between a latte and a cappucino! They may be close enough that a cappucino will make him happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailor44 Posted April 16, 2009 #20 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Does anyone know if they have lactose-free milk? My son (age 4) can't have "real" milk. I believe they have plain soy milk. Additional information can be found at http://www.bookccl.com/irman/bookccl/sections/shipboard/DiningOnboard_master.html (link on left for Special Diet Requirements) Also, as mentioned let your PVP (or have your TA contact Carnival) know about any special diet requirements.
