Carnival Cruise Line has just unveiled something brand new for cruisers who want variety without the alcohol: CHEERS! Zero Proof. This package is designed to give non-drinkers, or those simply taking a break from alcohol, a premium option that goes well beyond sodas. I can’t say I’m the target audience for this one, as I do love me a drink! This is so amazing for our non-drinker friends.
What Is CHEERS! Zero Proof?
At its core, CHEERS! Zero Proof is Carnival’s non-alcoholic beverage package, priced at $29.99 per person, per day. Unlike the Bottomless Bubbles package (which only covers sodas and juices), this one offers a full lineup of refreshing and indulgent options.
Here’s what’s included with CHEERS! Zero Proof:
- Coca-Cola soft drinks
- Juices
- Bottled water (still, sparkling, coconut)
- Premium coffees and teas
- Zero-proof cocktails (non-alcoholic mixed drinks)
- Alcohol-free beer and sparkling wine
- Frozen drinks
- Smoothies and protein shakes
- Milkshakes
- Energy drinks
This means you can sip on everything from a fancy mocktail to a protein-packed smoothie without worrying about racking up charges. Seems very similar to the Royal Caribbean non-alcoholic package!
How Does It Work?
CHEERS! Zero Proof works the same way as Carnival’s other drink packages:
- You can buy it online before your cruise or soon directly onboard.
- It’s limited to one drink at a time.
- The package is valid only onboard and not at Carnival’s private destinations such as Celebration Key.
- Age rules apply – zero-proof cocktails, alcohol-free beer, and sparkling wine are for guests 21 and older.
Price Comparison
Here’s how it stacks up against Carnival’s other drink packages:
Package | Price (per person/day) | What’s Included |
---|---|---|
CHEERS! Zero Proof | $29.99 | Non-alcoholic variety (mocktails, coffee, smoothies, etc.) |
Bottomless Bubbles | Around $9–10 | Soda and juice only |
Standard CHEERS! | Around $69.95 (pre-cruise) | Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks |
At less than half the price of the alcohol-inclusive CHEERS! package, Zero Proof is a smart option if you want premium drinks without paying for alcohol you won’t use.
Why It’s So Good
For years, Carnival offered either the budget-friendly soda package or the full CHEERS! package with alcohol included. But for guests who don’t drink, or who want more non-alcoholic options beyond soda, there was nothing in between.
CHEERS! Zero Proof fills that gap. It gives you the same all-in-one convenience as the regular CHEERS! package but tailored to non-drinkers. From enjoying a sparkling alcohol-free wine at dinner to grabbing a frozen drink by the pool, it makes the experience feel just as fun and indulgent.
Sip, Sip, CHEERS!
Carnival’s CHEERS! Zero Proof is a welcome addition for cruisers who want more choice, more variety, and more value – without alcohol. At $29.99 a day, it’s positioned perfectly for those who want something more exciting than Bottomless Bubbles but don’t need the full CHEERS! package.
If you’re sailing soon and want to indulge in a range of drinks without worrying about the bill, this could be the package that makes your cruise even more enjoyable.
