Package costs will begin varying by sailing length, itinerary and season on Dec. 1, 2026.
Carnival Cruise Line said it will introduce dynamic pricing for its beverage packages and WiFi plans beginning Dec. 1, 2026. Under the change, prices will differ depending on the length of a cruise, its itinerary and the season.
The company has not yet disclosed confirmed prices under the new model for its CHEERS!, CHEERS! Zero Proof or Bottomless Bubbles beverage packages. Carnival also has not explained the reason for adopting variable pricing or said whether the approach will be permanent or operate as a test.
Alongside the pricing change, Carnival introduced FunPacks. The cruise line said the new packages are intended to give guests greater flexibility and a broader selection of options. Additional details about how FunPacks relate to the dynamically priced beverage and connectivity offerings were not included in the announcement.
