Carnival Cruise Criticized for Beverage Policy Blame Shift
Carnival Cruise Line is facing backlash from passengers over its strict beverage policy, which requires all adults in a cabin to purchase the Cheers unlimited beverage package if one person does. Unlike Royal Caribbean, Carnival does not offer a non-alcoholic drink package alternative, leading to complaints about the lack of flexibility and the recent price increase. Despite passenger dissatisfaction, Carnival maintains that the policy is necessary to prevent abuse and has no plans to change it.
