Carnival Cruise Line has launched FunPacks, four packages that combine drinks, Wi-Fi, shore excursions, specialty dining and other extras in a single purchase before the cruise. According to the cruise line’s press release of 14 October 2026, they save between 35% and 55% compared with buying each item separately. They replace Carnival’s previous Value packages and, according to Carnival, were designed with feedback from its guests.
FunPacks are a limited-time offer: they can be bought from 13 to 30 October 2026 in My Cruise Manager on Carnival’s website, for cruises departing between 31 October 2026 and 31 December 2027.

Carnival’s website lists these contents and prices, per person and per day:
- Kidstarter ($25, savings of up to 50%): for guests aged 3 to 17. Unlimited soft drinks and juices (Bottomless Bubbles) with a souvenir cup, Social Wi-Fi, 1,000 arcade tokens, a lanyard and 50% off bulk candy at Cherry on Top.

Prices that change with the cruise from December
Carnival also announced that from 1 December 2026 the prices of its drinks packages and Wi-Fi plans will be dynamic: they will vary with the length of the cruise, the itinerary and the season. This applies both to the FunPacks and to packages bought separately.
“We’re excited to launch FunPacks, our largest collection of packages to date, making it easier for guests to bundle the experiences they enjoy the most and save money,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. The full terms are on Carnival’s website.
