Who is considered an adult or a minor? Guests on all Sailings from the United States and Europe:
  • Adult: 21 years and older
  • Minor: Under 21 years old
Can adults in the same stateroom choose different packages? Unfortunately, there is no mix and match option. All adults in the same stateroom must purchase the same package. For example, all adults must choose either the Essentials or Ultimate package. What options do minors have? Minors may:
  • Choose not to purchase a package, or
  • Purchase the Essentials Value Package (under 21)
The Essentials Value Package (under 21) can be purchased independently and does not require other guests in the stateroom to purchase a package.
How and when can I buy one of the packages? The Essentials Value and Ultimate Value packages promotion is available for purchase for a limited time April 17 through May 17, 2026 on all sailings departing from May 1 through December 31, 2026. Once your cruise is booked, the packages must be purchased online prior to sailing on My Cruise Manager during the current promotional period. The packages are not available for purchase once on board. Guests who already have a booking on a qualifying sailing can also purchase a package by visiting My Cruise Manager. Who is eligible to purchase a package? And how many guests in a stateroom are required to purchase a package? For the Essentials and Ultimate Value packages, any guest who is 21 or older at the time of sailing can purchase them, and every adult in the stateroom must choose the same package. Guests younger than 21 can either select the Essentials Value Package (under 21) or skip a package altogether, while children under 3 are not eligible for any Value Package. What if my stateroom has a mix of guests above and under 21 years old? Can some guests purchase the Essentials Value package and others purchase the Ultimate Value package with Cheers!? All guests who are 21 or older must each select and purchase either the Ultimate or Essentials package; mixing between these options is not an option. Guests under 21 can choose Essentials Value Package (under 21) or decide not to buy a package. Can the adults in the stateroom purchase the Ultimate Value Package and the minors purchase the Essentials Value Package (under 21)? Yes, minors can choose the Essentials Value Package for Kids independently from the adults’ choice. Can the minors purchase the Essentials Value Package (under 21) even when adults didn’t purchase any package? Yes, minors can choose the Essentials Value Package (under 21) independently from the adults’ choice. Which sailings are the packages available on? When can I buy the package? The packages are available on all sailings departing from May 1 through December 31, 2026. The packages are currently available for purchase on a limited-time basis between April 17 and May 17, 2026. Is the price the same for all guests? The price is the same for all guests who purchase the package. How do I redeem the various benefits of the packages? To enjoy the drinks package or the wi-fi plans, guests do not have to do anything other than buy a package! These benefits will be automatically activated on board. To redeem their pre-cruise shore excursion, dining, spa or photo discounts, guests must redeem them online on My Cruise Manager with a purchase before departure. Pre-cruise discounts cannot be applied on board. Shore excursion, dining and spa purchases are subject to availability, so guests are encouraged to make plans early when using their package benefits. How will I know if I already bought one of these packages? Visit Booking and Order Details in My Cruise Manager for a record of all experiences purchased for your upcoming sailing. Any unused discount benefits received through these packages will remain visible on the site until the online order cut-off date for the qualifying benefit category. If my stateroom is part of a multi-room booking or I have connected my booking to another booking as a ‘travel with’ room, will all linked rooms/bookings be required to purchase a package? No, the offer applies to the guests in the individual stateroom, even those that are part of a multi-room or linked booking. Can I combine the discounts from these packages with any other discounts I may be eligible for? The discounts of the Essentials Value and Ultimate Value packages are not eligible to be combined with any other discounts or promotions.
What types of drinks are included in Cheers! and Cheers! Zero Proof? Please refer to the Cheers! and Cheers! Zero Proof product pages for additional details. Are service charges for the drinks benefit included in the price? Yes, the package price includes any additional service charges associated with the drinks benefit. If my stateroom purchases the Essentials Value package that comes with Cheers! Zero Proof, will the adults in the stateroom be eligible to purchase the Cheers! package? Yes. While guests in the same stateroom cannot purchase a mix of the Essentials Value and Ultimate Value packages, when purchasing the Essentials Value package, guests can then buy Cheers! in a separate, stand-alone transaction.
If I purchase the Essentials Value package with the Value Wi-Fi Plan, can I upgrade my Wi-Fi Plan to Premium? Yes, the Wi-Fi plan can be upgraded once your sailing begins through the HUB App. However, the Essentials Value package itself cannot be modified or upgraded on board.
How do I redeem my pre-cruise discounts? To use their discounts, guests must redeem them on My Cruise Manager on carnival.com. Since some offerings are subject to availability, guests with the Essentials Value and Ultimate Value packages are encouraged to make their plans early. Once I purchase a package, is there a deadline by which I must use my pre-cruise discounts? Guests can use their discounts any time after they purchase a package, as long as they do so on My Cruise Manager on carnival.com at least three days prior to sailing. In addition, we encourage guests to book their experiences as soon as possible given capacity limitations on many of our most popular items. We do sell out! Can I use my pre-cruise discounts to purchase experiences only for myself or for others? One person managing the booking must redeem the discounts on behalf of everyone in the stateroom with the package. To fully utilize the package’s discounts for a specific category (e.g. shore excursions, dining), one person has to make a single transaction for all guests with the package’s discounts, where each guest’s discount will be applied. For example, if a guest does not book a shore excursion for all guests in the stateroom with the package in the same transaction, they will forfeit the discounts for the other guests. Can my pre-cruise discounts be used on one experience only or can they be spread across multiple experiences? Shore excursion discounts can be spread across multiple excursions, as long as they’re booked together in a single transaction. Dining discounts, on the other hand, must be used on one dining reservation and redeemed in the same transaction. What if I want to apply my pre-cruise discount on a shore excursion or dining experience that is more expensive than the value of my pre-cruise discount? If a guest wants to apply their pre-cruise discounts on an experience that is more expensive than the value of their pre-cruise discount they can do so, they just need to pay the difference with another accepted form of payment. What if I want to apply my pre-cruise discount on a shore excursion or dining experience that is less expensive than the value of my pre-cruise discount? At this time, the shore excursion and dining discounts can only be applied on purchases that are greater in value than the value of the discounts. What happens if the shore excursions or dining experience I want is not available when booking online? Our shore excursions and dining experiences are capacity-controlled. Guests can continue to monitor availability for their desired experiences on carnival.com in case availability should open up. If a guest no longer wants to keep their Essentials Value or Ultimate Value package, they are always welcome to cancel the package for a full refund, as long as they do so online before the cruise. Are there any exclusions to the discounts? Spa discounts are not available on Blow Out – Bundle of 3, Thermal Suites, Medi-Spa Treatments, Restylane and Dysport Treatments. Photo discounts are only available on ProPortrait packages and not available on other services such as Dreams Studio. The value of each shore excursion and dining reservation must be greater than the discount for the promotion to apply. Shore excursions discounts cannot be applied towards Faster to the Fun. All discount benefits must be redeemed by three days prior to embarkation or the offers are forfeited. The ship I am sailing on does not have any options to use my dining or other discounts on. Can I get a refund for the portion of the package I do not use? Dining venues (and other experiences that come with a discount) are limited in capacity and may not be available on your ship/sailing. Due to the fixed-price structure of the offer, refunds for any unused benefits cannot be issued. However, guests can cancel their package entirely (subject to Carnival’s standard cancellation terms for pre-cruise purchases) for a full refund.
If I buy the Essentials package, can I upgrade to the Ultimate package once I'm on board if I want to? No. Guests who purchase the Essentials package and later wish to upgrade to the Ultimate package must do so prior to boarding. Carnival’s packages are not available for purchase or upgrade once on board the ship. Upgrades are only permitted before the cruise and must be completed at least 24 hours before embarkation. After this deadline, changes to your package selection cannot be made. If I initially purchase the Essentials package, can I switch to the Ultimate package before my cruise? You may modify your package selection up to 24 hours before embarkation. To proceed, please cancel the Essentials package order and purchase the Ultimate package before midnight on the day the cancellation is made. This change must be made by midnight to not impact any existing purchases associated with the package benefits, such as shore excursion and dining discounts.
Are the packages refundable? The packages are fully refundable as long as they are cancelled before the cruise on carnival.com, in accordance with Carnival’s standard cancellation terms for pre-cruise purchases. What if I don’t use all of the benefits that are part of the package? Can I get any refunds? The packages are designed to have one simple, upfront price. Even if you don’t use every benefit of the package, it is likely to still be cost effective. Any benefits not used will not be eligible for a refund. What if I already pre-purchased other items that are part of this package and now purchase the package? Will the discount apply to my past purchases such as a shore excursion or dining experience? No, the benefits and discounts of the packages do not apply to any past purchases. However, guests may cancel their prior pre-purchases made on carnival.com and then repurchase them; any applicable discounts will then automatically apply. Before cancelling any pre-purchases, we advise guests to check the continued availability of their desired experiences before making their choices. If I purchase a package, use the pre-cruise discounts, and then cancel the package, what happens to the shore excursion, dining, spa or photo purchases I made? Any shore excursion, dining, spa or photo purchases where the pre-cruise discount was used will be cancelled if a guest cancels their package. Guests will then have to buy the shore excursion and/or dining experience again on their own. If you cancel and rebook a value package by midnight on the same day of the cancellation, you will retain your discounts on your purchased items. If I purchase a package, use the shore excursion and dining pre-cruise discounts, and then decide I want to switch to another experience, will I be able to use my discounts on the new experiences? While guests will get a refund for the paid amount, they will not automatically get their pre-cruise discounts back due to system limitations. If guests would like to apply those discounts to a different qualifying experience, they should call 1-800-Carnival and one of our agents will be able to help them apply their discounts to a new purchase. For spa and photo purchases however, guests will be able to continue to use their discounts. Please note that it may take three business days or more to process these requests and the cut-off for promo redemption remains three days prior to embarkation even in these cases. Please note that it may take three business days or more to process these requests and the cut-off to redeem the pre-cruise discount remains three days prior to embarkation even in these cases. If there is a change to the main or responsible party on a booking that has purchased the package, what happens to the package and any purchases that have been made using the package’s discounts? In such cases, the package purchase will be cancelled for all guests in the staterooms as well as any shore excursion, dining, spa or photo purchases made using the package.
