Carnival Cruise Line Introduces CHEERS! Zero Proof – A Great Choice for Non-Drinkers

Carnival Cruise Line has introduced something new that I think is a fantastic option for anyone who doesn’t drink alcohol but still wants to enjoy a wide variety of specialty beverages while cruising. The new CHEERS! Zero Proof package brings together an impressive lineup of non-alcoholic drinks, making it easy to indulge in fun and flavorful options without feeling left out.

What really stands out to me about this package is the variety. It includes handcrafted zero-proof cocktails, frozen drinks, smoothies, bottled protein shakes, milkshakes, energy drinks, juices, sodas, premium coffees, teas, sparkling water, and even alcohol-free beer and sparkling wine. For those of us who like to sip on something special during a cruise but prefer non-alcoholic options, this package makes that possible with both convenience and value.

I also like how Carnival designed CHEERS! Zero Proof as a true companion to their existing beverage packages. While the original CHEERS! package is perfect for those who enjoy cocktails, beer, and wine, and the Bottomless Bubbles package is focused mostly on soda, CHEERS! Zero Proof feels like the middle ground many guests have been asking for. It delivers something extra with its wider range of alcohol-free choices.

At $29.99 per person, per day, the package covers the full length of the cruise and is intended for individual use. Some items, like alcohol-free beer, sparkling wine, and certain mocktails, may require you to be 21 or older, but otherwise there’s no minimum age to enjoy the package. It’s already available for pre-cruise purchase online and will be rolling out onboard very soon.

Overall, I feel like CHEERS! Zero Proof is a great choice for anyone who doesn’t drink alcohol but still wants to enjoy the specialty drink experience that makes cruising even more fun. From frozen treats to energizing protein shakes, there’s something in this package for every mood and moment on your Carnival cruise. 🚢🥤✨
