Carnival’s New CHEERS! Zero Proof Drink Package – Everything You Need to Know
Carnival Cruise Line just made a big announcement that many cruisers have been waiting for: the launch of a brand-new non-alcoholic drink package, called CHEERS! Zero Proof. Starting September 15, 2025, this option will be available for pre-cruise purchase—and it’s already creating buzz among cruise fans. Here’s everything you need to know.
What Is CHEERS! Zero Proof?
CHEERS! Zero Proof is Carnival’s first-ever all-inclusive, alcohol-free beverage package. It’s made for guests who want more variety than soda but don’t need (or want) the alcoholic perks of the traditional CHEERS! package.
This new option covers a wide selection of drinks, including:
Zero-proof cocktails (mocktails)
Alcohol-free beer & sparkling wine
Smoothies and milkshakes
Frozen drinks (non-alcoholic)
Premium coffees and teas
Bottled and coconut water
Juices
Energy drinks
Protein shakes
Basically, if it’s fun, flavorful, and non-alcoholic, it’s likely included!
How Much Does It Cost?
Pre-cruise price: $29.99 per person, per day
Onboard price: $34.99 per person, per day (coming soon)
This makes it more affordable than the alcoholic CHEERS! package, while still offering a wide range of drinks beyond what you’d get with the Bottomless Bubbles package!!
How It Compares to Other Packages
CHEERS! (Alcoholic Package)
Includes unlimited alcoholic drinks (up to 15 per day)
Costs significantly more per day
Everyone in the same cabin 21+ must purchase it
Bottomless Bubbles
Soda-only package
Cheapest option, but limited
No mocktails, specialty drinks, or coffee included
CHEERS! Zero Proof
More variety than Bottomless Bubbles
Much cheaper than the full CHEERS! package
Best for families, sober cruisers, or anyone who enjoys premium non-alcoholic drinks
Can be purchased individually (not everyone in the cabin is required to buy it)
Who Should Consider It?
CHEERS! Zero Proof is a great fit if you:
Don’t drink alcohol but want more than just soda
Love trying fun cruise mocktails and smoothies
Want to enjoy specialty coffees, teas, and energy drinks without paying per drink
Are traveling with kids or teens who would enjoy milkshakes, smoothies, and frozen drinks
Want the freedom of unlimited non-alcoholic options without worrying about the bill
Important Things to Know
Some items (like alcohol-free beer and mocktails) may have age restrictions (21+).
It must be purchased for the full length of your cruise.
You do not have to have all guests 21 plus in room get it unlike the Cheers Package!
Tips are included in the daily price.
Available for pre-cruise purchase now, and onboard in the coming weeks.
Is It Worth It?
If you typically order 3–4 specialty non-alcoholic drinks per day (like smoothies, mocktails, coffee, or energy drinks), CHEERS! Zero Proof will more than pay for itself. At just under $30 a day, it offers flexibility, variety, and savings compared to paying per drink.
For families, it could be a fun upgrade that keeps everyone happy—especially kids who love milkshakes and smoothies.
Final Thoughts
Carnival’s CHEERS! Zero Proof is a smart addition to its lineup of beverage packages. It fills the gap between Bottomless Bubbles and the alcoholic CHEERS! package, giving more options for guests who want to cruise alcohol-free but still enjoy a wide selection of drinks. Whether you’re a family, a sober traveler, or just someone who wants more variety, this could be the perfect package for you.
