The questions that come up before you board.

The Ultimate Value Package isn’t only drinks, so we count only the drinks part.

On a 5-day cruise that’s $49.50 a day, or $247.50. Carnival charged you $450 for the bundle, and the app shows you both, so you can see exactly where the difference comes from.

Shorter cruise, bigger daily bite. The $75 in credits is one-time, so it spreads over fewer days: a 7-day works out to $53.79, a 3-day to $39.50, a 2-day to $27.00. One-day sailings go negative on paper, so we floor them at $0 and every drink counts as pure winnings.

We assume you use both credits. A $50 excursion discount is worth exactly $0 if you never book an excursion. Skip both on a 5-day cruise and you’re really paying about $15 a day more than we’re showing. Ultimate’s rate is all-in, though — no gratuity on top, unlike CHEERS!

Spa and photo credits? Not counted. Too unpredictable to model honestly across cruisers. Use yours and call it a bonus on top of whatever the app says.

Two different numbers, and both are real. Carnival charged you the headline bundle rate. ShipFaced tracks against the drinks portion, once Wi-Fi and the two credits come out. Both figures are shown — in setup and again in Settings — labelled separately, so you can always see which is which.

Because the $75 in credits is one-time and lands on fewer days, so it takes a much bigger bite out of each one. A 3-day Ultimate comes to $39.50 a day and a 2-day to $27.00. A one-day sailing goes past zero altogether — the Wi-Fi and the credits outvalue the bundle on their own — so the app floors it at $0 rather than show you a negative break-even. Every drink is then pure winnings.

Yes — ShipFaced wants the price you actually pay. The two CHEERS! buttons add Carnival’s 18% for you, because $69.95 and $74.95 are the pre-gratuity rates. Ultimate Value is all-in already. If you type a custom price, include the gratuity yourself; that’s why the setup field is labelled gratuity included.

No. You enter the price. From then on the app remembers the drinks and bars you’ve logged, so ordering the same thing again is one tap. There is no menu database and no line’s bar prices are prefilled — only Carnival’s own package rates, which are published.

Pick Other and set your own daily limit and package price. The picker carries every line that caps its package, plus the big uncapped ones. The rest were left out on purpose: with no cap to track, a longer list cost scrolling and bought nothing.

On your device, and only there. No servers, no account, no sync. The honest flip side: the log doesn’t survive deleting the app, and two people tracking together each keep their own.

The log doesn’t come with you. Everything lives in the app’s own storage on the device, with no account and nothing on a server, so a new phone starts empty — and so does reinstalling on the same one.

There’s no export yet, so if you’re switching phones mid-cruise, screenshot the Stats screen before you do.

No — one cruise, one drinker. A package is tracked against a single person’s drinks, so a couple who both bought one need the app on both phones. It’s free, so that costs nothing but a second download.

Yes. Nothing is logged over the network, so it works in the middle of the ocean with the ship’s internet package unbought. The tip jar is the only part that needs a connection.

No. No analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising SDK, no third-party trackers of any kind. Nobody counts your drinks but you.

Yes. Any logged drink can be edited or deleted — its price, its name, the bar, and whether it was non-alcoholic. Your totals and the break-even figure recalculate straight away.

Completely. No ads, no subscription, nothing behind a paywall. There’s an optional tip jar if you want to support it — tipping unlocks nothing, because there’s nothing to unlock.
