Review summary

When booked with the agent was told that the all exclusive we could pay $55.00 a day for the drinks just had to pay for it in the morning that way if not going to shore wouldn't waste it on the day on shore. Was told by one person that only 1 person had to buy the all exclusive then when went to purchase it was told that both person had to buy it  thats 30 drinks for 2 people to drink in one day, are they trying to make you a drunk. (just saying) I'm 120 lb girl and im doing good to drink 7 drinks.the bartender stated that the drinks that we had already bought that morning would be refunded and taking off the drink card for that day, But to put the icing on the cake, I was drinking the strawberry daiquiri when I took a drink I found piece of GLASS thinking maybe sugar no biggie, took another drink and another piece, poured into another glass and found more little pieces of glasses took to the bartender that made my drink told them, they asked if they could make another one I stated no I would not be drinking any more of those, then she asked if another drink so I did and then she charged be for that drink (Even though I had all exclusive drink card) really..  come on people after that my day was us worring if going to find more glass in are drinks.  Needless to say as that the rest of my day was me worrying about everything.. At least they could have given something back but just asked if I was ok.. When stoped at Cozumel was told that the Royal Caribbean ship had stoped at the New Holden Mahogany bay, and to only give us 14.00 doller creidt is not right i spent money to go on this trip and to find out from another passager that he works for Hurricane relife group and stated that we could have easy docked, and he got money back and cause we are no body we get only 14.00 back rip off should got more,I think a percent of what the cruise cost us should have been given back to everyone on board,  all around terrible time and this is my 3rd cruise.

Sunshine19ver we tried to buy drinks for the other people in our party and was told by the bartender that we couldn't do that and they blocked our card for the rest of that day.

Jamains. I don't believe a thing you said about the all inclusive drink package. First of all, you had a choice to buy the package or not. If you go to FAQ's on carnivals website it explains in detail what the package is. 15 drinks a day is correct but you can buy drinks for other people as well with your package. You just did not like anything about the ship or cruise. I suggest you lock yourself up in a dark room and then you will only have yourself to please. Carnival Dream and Carnival Cruise Lines is and are great.
