How Much Does A Coctail Cost On Carnival Cruise Elation?

Question

I am heading to Cabo from San Diego next month on the ship Elation (Carnival Cruise). I was wondering what the drink prices are on the ship. Is $5/drink reasonable? I usually drink Beer . . . Jack & Cokes . . or Redbull Vodkas.

Thanks . . .

Answer 2

Depending what you order it is usually about $5-$7 for a cocktail.  Jack and Redbull Vodkas would be $7.00.  Do not get the drink in the souvenir glass - they will charge you extra.  Bucket of beer is the best way to go - you get one free.

Answer 3

Randy,

I have been on two Carnival cruises, and I am pretty sure the drink prices are the same on each ship. I haven't cruised the Elation, but here's what I have encountered:

every time you get a drink, 15% gratuity is automatically added in to the bill, making the price jump. Also, mixed drinks are around $6 - $7. The way to drink beers though is to get what they call a "bucket". It's strange to carry around because it's literally a plastic tub with ice and 5 beers, but it will save you a lot of money! Hope this helps and have fun!
