On a Carnival Cruise in 2026, several "standard" beverages are included in your base fare and available throughout the ship at no extra cost. These complimentary options include water (chilled, non-bottled), lemonade, unsweetened iced tea, fruit juices (usually orange, apple, or passion-orange-guava), hot coffee, hot tea, and hot chocolate. During breakfast hours, you can also find milk and chocolate milk in the Lido Marketplace (buffet). These drinks are available 24/7 at the self-service stations in the buffet area and are also served for free in the Main Dining Room during meals. It is important to note that "specialty" beverages—such as bottled water, canned sodas, Starbucks-style coffees, and all alcoholic drinks—require an extra fee or the purchase of a "Cheers!" or "Bottomless Bubbles" package. For budget-conscious travelers, bringing a reusable water bottle to fill at the Lido stations is a popular way to stay hydrated for free.
