You don't have to worry about that when you book a Carnival Cruise. Here is a list of thing that are and are not included when you Book your "Fun Ship" Vacation!

Various beverages (alcoholic drinks, specialty coffees and bottled water) These items can be really pricey, before ordering make sure you ask how much it cost!

All items from the patisserie (pastries, baked goods, indulgent sweets, etc.)
