maarten288 Posted December 23, 2011 #1 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Hi, I'm trying to get a few friends to go on a cruise but some are saying the alcohol is too expensive for a 7 day cruise (which is what we're looking for). Does anyone have or know of a group going on one of these cruises in late January, February or March? Even if you could direct me to the roll call or give me an email where they can be reached it would be much appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shof515 Posted December 23, 2011 #2 Share Posted December 23, 2011 The best way to get to an open bar is to create a roll call. Once you have more then 30 or people that want to chip in, then call up carnival and tell them you want to set up an open bar for your group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc04321 Posted December 23, 2011 #3 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Just an FYI, to have unlimited drinks it is about $300 pp and EVERYONE must participate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroozers Posted December 23, 2011 #4 Share Posted December 23, 2011 $300 pp would save me some money. That's a pretty good price actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya never know . I am sot sure how large aroll call your cfruise has and how active it is. But it might not hurt to throw it out there. That really isn't a bad price , you might be surprised and get some takers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricket63 Posted December 23, 2011 #8 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Just an FYI, to have unlimited drinks it is about $300 pp and EVERYONE must participate. They also have to be under 1 group number, not a bunch of people pulled together off of your roll call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maarten288 Posted December 23, 2011 Author #9 Share Posted December 23, 2011 They also have to be under 1 group number, not a bunch of people pulled together off of your roll call. Yes, that's why I'm looking for a group already booked so I can just add on. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricket63 Posted December 23, 2011 #10 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Yes, that's why I'm looking for a group already booked so I can just add on. :) Another option, you can also order liquor to be delivered to your cabin at embarkation(boarding in TX has restrictions). It's a little cheaper if you don't mind mixing your drinks in your cabin. Their number is 1-800-522-7648. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PittsburghGirlee Posted December 23, 2011 #11 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Not sure if you are wanting 2012 or 2013, but check out the LIBERTY Roll Call Boards. There are a few of them going on....;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always do land all inclusives because they like the fact they don't have to pay anything extra after they book their trip. I really don't like AI vacations in the Caribbean or Mexico, therefore I'm trying to get this package. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maarten288 Posted December 23, 2011 Author #15 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I seen someone post that on one of the forums. I wish we could go then but my friend is in the military and deploys in sometime in April, that's why we have to go sometime in February or March.

But it might not hurt to throw it out there. That really isn't a bad price , you might be surprised and get some takers they MUST be booked together as a group. you cant just get 30 people together. Also EVERYone must buy the drink package- (i think its a little more then 300.pp for the 7 days. (i thought it was like 75.pp per day) and remember some of those days you are off in the ports. Something to consider for your friends- go in together and get bottles from the Bon VOyage Dept? Personally I think a AI is your better choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maarten288 Posted December 23, 2011 Author #17 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Thanks Serene but I don't enjoy the land AI vacations nearly as much as a cruise. Looks like we'll have to go with the land AI if we can't find an open bar group. :( Lol, that's why I enjoy travelling solo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KruznKel Posted December 23, 2011 #22 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I so wish Carnival would bring in an alcoholic beverage policy... $385 is great for me.. but my hubby only drinks a few beers not even worth it for him... I could come close to $800 on my own.. but I do like my liver to recover before the next cruise:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither honey nor I drink- did you only visit AI where you have to stay onsite and could not venture out of the compound? Close to 800 for a couple to drink all inclusive for the week- my next cruise could be half paid for by then. For a solo cruiser-- do they only pay for one price? or do they pay for the invisible person they needed to pay for the cruise for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
