Won't they allow her to purchase Bottomless Bubbles instead? Interesting if true, as the media could easily frame this as Carnival "Encouraging / almost forcing" a pregnant person to drink and possibly harm the unborn child. Carnival isn't forcing her to purchase it, her roommate is. They knew the rules when choosing to purchase it. Just another example of people trying to not accept personal responsibility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pregnant woman is not required to drink the drinks. Just have to pay for them. FYI, personally, I think buying the drink package is dumb anyway. I've never heard of anyone doing vacation planning and allocate $500-$1300 just for alcohol. Yet, on a cruise folks do it all the time. They may not budget for it, but they spend that much all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have friends and have met many people who had easily a $1,000 budget for alcohol on a cruise. For them, the package is a no brainer. For us, I’ve gotten way to used to getting a bottle of water, specialty coffee , and whatever else I want to go without it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famof4togo Posted February 18, 2022 #29 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Our very first adult cruise our bar tab (no Cheers) was more than the cruise, the excursions and every penny we spent to get there and enjoy the trip....since then we have always budgeted for Cheers as it saves us money that way and enables us to not worry about the tab. To each their own.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted February 19, 2022 #30 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I must be weird. If I have a drink package, I'll definitely utilize it and enjoy myself. If I don't have one, then I just drink moderately. My bar bill is definitely not as much as the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one person in the cabin over the age of 21 purchases Cheers, then every person over the age of 21 must purchase it. It doesn't matter if they're pregnant, Mormon, or on a feeding tube. I know first hand exception can be made. BTW - if the woman is too pregnant - they don't let them sail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
