Carnival launches FunPacks with tiered pricing for 2027 sailings
Carnival Cruise Line has introduced four new FunPack bundles for onboard extras, available for a limited booking window, and will shift to dynamic pricing for drink and Wi-Fi packages starting in December 2026.
Carnival Cruise Line has introduced four new FunPack bundles for sailings departing between October 31 and December 31, 2027. The limited-time Kidstarter, Zero Proof, Social, and Epic packs offer tiered daily pricing for bundled amenities, from arcade tokens to premium drinks.
Each FunPack presents a distinct combination of inclusions aimed at different guest segments. The bundles are designed to offer perceived value by grouping popular extras.
| FunPack | Price | Key Inclusions |
|---|---|---|
| Kidstarter | $25 | Bottomless Bubbles, Social Wi-Fi, lanyard, 50% off bulk candy, 1,000 arcade tokens. For ages 3-17 only. |
| Zero Proof | $50 | Cheers! Zero Proof package, Value Wi-Fi, $50 shore excursion discount, $25 dining discount. |
| Social | Not specified in base price | Cheers! Social package (3 alcoholic + unlimited non-alcoholic drinks daily), Premium Wi-Fi, one shore excursion (up to $100), one specialty dining meal (up to $55), 50% off spa & photo studio. |
| Epic | Not specified in base price | Full Cheers! Package, Premium Wi-Fi, two shore excursions (up to $100 each), two specialty dining meals (up to $55 each), 50% off spa & photo studio, sparkling wine, one bag of laundry. |
Social and Epic FunPacks detail drink and amenity bundles
The Social and Epic tiers offer the most comprehensive perks. The Social FunPack includes the exclusive CHEERS! Social drink package, which cannot be purchased separately. It provides three alcoholic beverages per day alongside unlimited non-alcoholic drinks. The Epic FunPack includes the full, unlimited Cheers! Beverage package. Both packs add Premium Wi-Fi, shore excursion credits, specialty dining meals, and substantial discounts on spa treatments and photo studio services.
Booking window and sailing applicability defined
These bundles are available for a very specific booking window. Guests can only purchase a FunPack from October 14 to October 30 of this year. The packs are valid for sailings that depart between October 31, 2027, and December 31, 2027. Carnival stated that "pricing will vary based on sailing length, itinerary and season." This indicates the listed daily rates are starting points, with final cost depending on the specific cruise booked.
Dynamic pricing for drink and Wi-Fi packages to begin December 2026
A separate but significant pricing shift is coming next year. Beginning December 1, 2026, Carnival will implement dynamic pricing for its standalone beverage and Wi-Fi packages. This model, already used by competitors like Royal Caribbean, means package prices will fluctuate based on demand and sailing details rather than remaining fixed. The company has not provided specific mechanics. "Full details on pricing has not yet been released," Carnival said.
FunPacks are available for booking from October 14 to 30 for sailings departing between October 31 and December 31, 2027.
