How do you save money on drinks on Carnival?

If you are on a longer cruise and will drink more than that, you'll save by ordering a Bottomless Bubbles soda package. Same goes for drinking water on a cruise. While bottled water is not allowed, you can save by bringing your own refillable water bottle and get water from the fountains on the Lido Deck.
