has anyone heard of carnival(liberty) offering an alcohol card? I saw a preview post mentioning one??? Going on liberty in 2 weeks and was very curious about this...I've heard of soda cards, never alcohol cards.
Never seen or heard of this. You can pre-buy drink coupons on Carnival's website under gifts that you can purchase. We also do this so we at least have some of our drinks already paid for.

A friend recently took a cruise on the Fantasy. Before leaving, she said that she had got an alcohol card. She said it cost something like an extra $300.00. I am not sure if that is per person or together. I am also not sure if she purchased it through Carnival or her TA, but I could find out if anyone is interested. Anyway, I thought yeah right. I figured she would get on the boat, and she would figure out that she got ripped off. When she got back, she said that the card had worked just like a soda card. She said that she ended up saving over $200.00. I am just passing on information. I have no idea if it is true or not, but I don’t think she has any reason to lie to me.

Perhaps she was with a group? Sometimes groups will purchase open bars for their members for a set fee. It is simply hard to believe that Carnival would start a booze card option for anyone on their cruises and we wouldn't hear about it. It just isn't something that would casually appear in a message thread on this forum. It would be BIG NEWS everywhere on the internet cruise boards.
There is no such thing as an alcohol card available for individual purchase. I have heard of large groups being able to buy in to a program for something like that. I don't know if that is even true for sure though, or the details of it.
