EVERYTHING INCLUDED IN A CARNIVAL CRUISE
Your cruise fare on Carnival Cruise Line covers the cost of your stateroom for the duration of the trip, including daily service by a stateroom attendant. The type of cabin you choose will be the biggest factor when determining your total cruise costs.

Like most cruise lines, Carnival Cruise Line's main dining rooms offer a multi-course rotational menu that changes nightly. All meals in the MDR are complimentary for up to 2 entrees.

Carnival also offers several more casual dining spots that are also included in your cruise fare. Some of these options include the Lido Marketplace buffet, Guy's Burger Joint, a Pizza Parlor, and Blue Iguana Cantina.

Further, there is always something to do on a Carnival Cruise Line ship that will not cost you anything. These complimentary activities include trivia, demonstrations, dance classes, movies on the lido deck, and more. There is also a gym, sports court, and a kids' program.

Guests can also enjoy nightly signature entertainment in the main theater. From headliner acts to Broadway-style Playlist Productions, you don’t want to miss out on these shows.

Of course, there is live music throughout the ship in the evenings as well as plenty of bars serving up your favorite cocktails. While the music is free, the drinks will cost extra.

Regardless of your interests, there is plenty to do, see, and eat while on your Carnival Cruise vacation without paying anything extra.

However, there are also upgraded experiences and add-ons that are not included in the cruise fare.

WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED ON CARNIVAL CRUISE LINE
Cruise gratuities are services charges that are not included in the standard cruise fare, similar to a hotel resort fee. These additional fees are a per person, per day dollar amount that are charged to all guests across all stateroom categories.

Unfortunately, shore excursions are not part of the cruise fare either. While you can get off in port and explore on your own, organized tours will cost extra money.

Further, you will need to purchase an internet package if you want to stay in touch with family and friends, as WiFi is not part of the cruise fare on Carnival.

While there are many dining venues covered in the cruise fare, perhaps the most of any cruise line, there are up-charge dining venues as well. From the signature steakhouse Fahrenheit 555, to Rudi's Sea Grill, Bonsai Sushi and Teppanyaki, and Cucina del Capitano, some restaurants on Carnival cruise ships will cost you extra money.

As you might expect, alcoholic beverages are not included in the standard cruise fare either. Beverages like specialty coffees, soft drinks, bottled water, and energy drinks are all an additional fee too. If you plan to consume any of these beverages on a regular basis, you should consider purchasing a Cheers drink package.
