Carnival Unveils Four New FunPacks But Guests Face Important Restrictions

Carnival Cruise Line has introduced four new packages combining drinks, WiFi, specialty dining and other onboard extras, offering passengers potential savings of up to 55% on cruises departing through the end of 2027.

The new Carnival FunPacks went on sale on 13th October 2026 and are available to purchase until 30th October 2026. They cover eligible sailings departing between 31st October 2026 and 31st December 2027.

Prices start at $25 per person, per day for children, rising to $99 for the most comprehensive adult package. Each option includes a beverage package and internet access, with additional benefits varying according to the price.

However, the packages come with several conditions that could affect their overall value, including restrictions on who must purchase them, deadlines for booking included experiences and the loss of unused benefits.

Carnival says its new bundles are designed to simplify the process of purchasing popular cruise extras before departure.

“We’re excited to launch FunPacks, our largest collection of packages to date, making it easier for guests to bundle the experiences they enjoy the most and save money,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.

Four New Packages With Different Benefits

Carnival has divided its new offering into four categories: Kidstarter, Zero Proof, Social and Epic.

The cheapest is the Kidstarter FunPack, available exclusively to passengers aged three to 17 for $25 per person, per day.

It includes the Bottomless Bubbles unlimited soda and juice package, a souvenir cup and Social WiFi access. Children also receive 1,000 arcade tokens, a complimentary lanyard and a 50% discount on participating bulk candy purchases at Cherry on Top.

Carnival advertises potential savings of up to 50% with this package.

The Zero Proof FunPack costs $50 per person, per day and is available to passengers aged three and older.

It includes the CHEERS! Zero Proof drinks package, which provides unlimited eligible non-alcoholic beverages, including premium coffees, bottled water, smoothies, milkshakes and energy drinks.

Certain beverages, including alcohol-free beer, zero-proof cocktails and non-alcoholic sparkling wine, remain restricted to passengers aged 21 and older.

Value WiFi is included, along with a $50 discount towards an eligible shore excursion and a $25 specialty dining discount. Carnival advertises savings of up to 35%.

For adults who want alcoholic drinks without purchasing the full CHEERS! package, the Social FunPack offers another option.

Priced at $60 per person, per day, it introduces CHEERS! Social, a beverage package available exclusively through the new bundle.

Passengers receive unlimited eligible non-alcoholic drinks and three alcoholic beverages per day, each valued at up to $20.

Once those three included drinks have been used, additional alcoholic beverages can be purchased at regular prices, subject to Carnival
