Cruising with Carnival just got a refreshing upgrade! Introducing CHEERS! Zero Proof — Carnival Cruise Line’s brand-new premium non-alcoholic beverage package. Designed to elevate your cruise experience with variety and flavor, this package is the perfect choice for travelers who want more than just soda but prefer to skip the alcohol.

Whether you’re sipping a handcrafted mocktail by the pool, grabbing a specialty coffee in the morning, or cooling down with a smoothie in the afternoon, CHEERS! Zero Proof ensures you’ll never run out of options.

What’s Included in CHEERS! Zero Proof

This is Carnival’s most comprehensive non-alcoholic package ever. With it, you can enjoy a wide variety of refreshing drinks, including:

Sodas (Coca-Cola line of products)
Juices (standard)
Bottled water (500ml) — still, sparkling, and coconut water
Premium coffees & teas
Zero proof cocktails (non-alcoholic) (21+ only)
Alcohol-free beer (21+ only)
Alcohol-free sparkling wine (21+ only)
Frozen non-alcoholic drinks
Smoothies and bottled protein shakes
Milkshakes
Energy drinks

From your morning latte to a sparkling water on deck or a mocktail at dinner, this package covers you all day long.

What’s Not Included

While CHEERS! Zero Proof covers plenty, here’s what it doesn’t include:

Alcoholic beverages (beer, cocktails, wine, spirits, liquors, and discounts on bottled wine)
Beverages promoted and sold in souvenir glasses
Drinks offered at the gangway
Drinks purchased via room service, mini bars, or in-stateroom beverage programs
Beverages served at private parties and/or events
Other beverage-related programs including merchandise, cigars, and cigarettes
Food items

Restrictions You Need to Know

As with any drink package, there are some important rules and guidelines:

Must be purchased for the entire length of the cruise (no partial-day options)
Non-transferable — the package is for personal use only and cannot be shared
Some beverages carry age restrictions:
- Zero proof cocktails, alcohol-free beer, and alcohol-free sparkling wine are 21+ on U.S. cruises (18+ in Australia)
CHEERS! Zero Proof is valid onboard only — it does not extend to destinations, including Carnival’s exclusive Celebration Key

Price & Value

$29.99 per person, per day when purchased before sailing
$34.99 per person, per day if purchased onboard
18% service charge applies to all beverage packages

With just a few daily beverages — for example, a specialty coffee, two bottled waters, a smoothie, and a mocktail — you’re already close to the package’s value. If you regularly enjoy premium coffees, energy drinks, or mocktails, CHEERS! Zero Proof can quickly pay for itself.
