Carnival Cruise Drink Prices Australia
If you are cruising with Carnival in Australia and wondering how much drinks cost onboard, this guide provides a look at Carnival’s Australian bar menu, including current menu prices for cocktails, martinis, wine, beer and soft drinks.
Drink pricing can vary by ship, sailing and region, so Australian Carnival prices should not be assumed to be the same as prices found aboard Carnival ships sailing elsewhere. Carnival itself notes that beverage pricing and inclusions can vary depending on the ship and sailing region.
The menus below show cocktails around the AUD $18.50–$21 range, martinis around $18.50–$19, Australian beers from $10.50 and several other beverage options. They provide a useful reference for cruisers trying to estimate their onboard drink budget before an Australian Carnival cruise.
Carnival Australia Classic Cocktail Prices
Carnival’s Classics menu includes several familiar cruise cocktails along with some of the line’s signature drinks.
Prices shown on the menu include Margarita for $18.50, Sex on the Beach for $18.50, Mojito for $18.50 and Long Island Iced Tea for $21.
Other $18.50 selections include The Cruiser, Splice, Fruit Tingle, Illusion, Mai Tai and Tahitian Sunset.
The Margarita can also be upgraded to Patron Silver Tequila for an additional $4.
Carnival Australia Cruising Cocktails
The Cruising Cocktails menu continues with another selection of tropical drinks.
Kiss on the Lips, Green Thunder, Hurricane Wave and Toblerone are each listed at $19.25.
The menu also notes that a floater can be added for $4, while smoothies and the featured drinks can be prepared zero-proof for $13.
For cruisers deciding between paying individually and purchasing a beverage package, these individual menu prices provide a much better idea of what several cocktails per day could cost.

How Much Are Cocktails on Carnival Cruises in Australia?
Based on these menus, most of the standard cocktails shown cost approximately $18.50 to $21.
Classic cocktails including the Margarita and Mojito are $18.50, while several of the Cruising Cocktails are $19.25. The Long Island Iced Tea is one of the higher-priced cocktails shown at $21.
Martinis generally sit around $19.
That makes roughly $19–$20 per alcoholic cocktail a reasonable budgeting figure based specifically on the menus pictured here—not a guarantee of what every Carnival ship or future sailing will charge.
How Much Is Beer on Carnival Cruises in Australia?
The Australian beers pictured on this Carnival menu are generally $10.50 each.
Draft beer is listed at $11.50 for a schooner and $12.50 for a pint, while imported beer is $11, with Corona 500ml listed at $12.50.
These prices are particularly useful for passengers trying to compare paying individually with the cost of a Carnival beverage package.
Carnival Australia Drink Packages
Carnival Australia also offers beverage packages on eligible Australian cruises.
Carnival currently lists its alcoholic CHEERS! program at $111 AUD per person per day when purchased before the cruise or $119 AUD per person per day when purchased onboard. Because package rules, eligibility and prices can change, passengers should check Carnival directly for the terms applying to their particular sailing.
There is also a CHEERS! Zero Proof beverage package for Australian departures. Carnival currently lists that package at $39.99 AUD per person per day when purchased before sailing or $44.99 AUD onboard.
Are Carnival Australia Drink Prices Different From U.S. Cruises?
Yes, passengers should treat Australian Carnival pricing separately from pricing on Carnival cruises elsewhere.
Carnival’s own Australian information states that beverage package pricing and inclusions can vary depending on ship and sailing region. Australian sailings also have their own beverage policies and AUD-denominated package pricing.
That is why U.S. Carnival drink menus are not necessarily a reliable way to budget for a Carnival cruise departing Australia.
