Carnival Cruise Packages

Carnival cruise packages, as well as those available from other operators, provide all-inclusive vacations, making them attractive deals in many circumstances. Once passengers board the Carnival ship at the port of departure, most of their expenses will have already been covered. This includes their lodging in a cabin, access to the variety of food available on the ship, entertainment options including dancing in nightclubs, and supervised programs for families with children. The only costs that passengers will incur on the ships are supplementary charges for select food and beverage items, optional personal services and purchases, tips, and any gambling that they do in the casinos.

Vacation Expenses Not Included in Carnival Cruise Packages

In addition to the costs that passengers will have to pay for the Carnival package, there are other costs they should factor into their vacation budget, even if they are scheduling a last-minute trip.

  • They will need to arrange for transportation to the port of departure. Depending on the destination and where they live, they may need to purchase airfare.
  • Passengers driving to the port will need to arrange for parking.
  • The costs of shore excursions, including activities and food, are not included in the package price. Passengers visiting multiple ports should budget for shopping, food, and activities including sightseeing and renting sports equipment.
