Out of Galveston

[villagenut]

On carnival out of Galveston, the unlimited drink package doesn't take affect until the next morning.  Does the drink package for RCI work the same way?  

on a 7 day carnival you only pay for 6 days of the drink package.  Again, is RCI the same.

Any info?

TIA

You pay for all 7 days.  You get unlimited the first day but only with certain brand alcohol.  If you have any free wine or purchase a wine and cheese tray for instance it won’t be delivered until day 2. Annoying law but it is what it is. And remember any alcohol you bring back with you will be taxed when you get off the ship.

Limited no Jack and a few call brands when he board. Once you hit international waters you can order anything. 

 

I can remember when carnival started day 1 once they hit international waters and people posted wait for day 2 to save money so now carnival starts day 2. Cheap skates on carnival. Lol

It’s normally about 7 pm or so that you can order anything from drink package before that they would have a house vodka , gin scotch etc.

Carnival delays the drink package because they don’t want to pay Texas taxes on alcohol and they don’t want the fist fights to start until at least day 2.  😁

True, but better have the fights while still in the channel then just throw them off to swim ashore
