Totally agree about the drink packages! Can get way too expensive!

The spa treatment prices on cruises can be insane! Waiting for specials sounds like a plan.

Had no idea you could bring your own soda on board, thanks for the heads up!

Great ideas. My dad and mom are like 8th carnival cruise and my wifes dad is taking his first right before Christmas 🎄. Me and my wife Kayla hopefully be taken are first next year in 2025 or early 2026. Looking at princess or Virgian bc lot stuff is included in package or celiberity. Hard easy way bring bottles wine with you to save on drinks.

Carnival's drink package doesn't work on their private island 😭
