Tips for Saving Money on The New Drinks Packages

While they can offer convenience, they can also add up in cost. Here are some tips to help you save money:

1. Pre-order your drinks package at least three days before travel to enjoy a 10% discount.

If you know that you’ll be indulging in drinks during your trip, you should purchase the P&O drinks package before sailing. P&O cruise lines offer a discount of around 10% if you buy at least three days before your travel date. This can add up to significant savings, especially if you’re traveling with your family or a group of friends.  Discounted drinks packages are available at least 3 days before you sail.

2. Use onboard account credits towards your drinks package on board.

If you’ve received onboard account credits as part of a promotional offer or through loyalty rewards, consider using these credits towards your package. This can help reduce the overall cost, allowing you to enjoy your favourite beverages without worrying about the extra expense.

3. Buy your drinks package on board until midnight on the second day to pay for one day less.

If you didn’t pre-order your package or if you’re unsure about your drinking habits during the cruise, you can still buy a drinks package on board. Most cruise lines allow you to buy the package until midnight on the second day of the cruise. By doing so, you can avoid paying for the full duration of your trip if you decide not to purchase the package for the entire duration.

By following these tips, you can make the most of your package without breaking the bank. Remember to plan ahead, take advantage of any credits or discounts available, and make informed decisions based on your drinking preferences. Enjoy your cruise and cheers to savings!

Things To Think About

Before purchasing a drinks package for your cruise, it’s important to consider a few factors. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

1. Value for Money

One of the first things to think about is whether you’ll get value out of the package every day. While a pre-paid package might seem like a great deal, it’s worth considering if you’ll be spending most of your time exploring on land when the ship is in port. If you’ll be away from the ship for a significant portion of the day, you may not have enough time to fully enjoy the package and make it worthwhile.  The ultimate drinks package for you will come down to what you like to drink and your budget.

Sharing of packages isn’t permitted.

2. Bring Your Own Drinks

If you’re traveling with kids, it’s worth noting that free drinking water dispensers are available on the ship. Instead of purchasing a package for them, you can bring your own drinks to save money. This can be particularly helpful if your children have specific preferences or dietary restrictions.

3. Individual Packages for Adults

In order to maintain fairness and prevent sharing, it’s important to know that all adults in the same cabin must purchase the same package. This means that if you and your partner have different preferences or drinking habits, you may need to compromise or find a package that suits both of you.  For example, if one person wants the classic or deluxe drinks package, but the other only wants the non-acholic drinks, they’ll both need to get the same package.

There is a limit of 15 alcoholic drinks per day and sharing of packages is not allowed.

4. Family-Friendly Packages

For families traveling with kids, the Classic package may be the best value option. With the Classic package, children in the same cabin get the Refresh package for free. 

5. Age Restrictions

It’s essential to check the age restrictions before making a purchase. Some cruise lines may require 17-year-olds to pay for their own package, while others may include them in the family package. Make sure to clarify this beforehand to avoid any surprises or additional expenses.

6. Responsible Drinking

Lastly, it’s important to keep in mind that responsible drinking is encouraged onboard the ship. To ensure this, there is a 15-minute gap required between each drink order. This policy is in place to promote moderation and prevent overconsumption. It’s a good practice to pace yourself and be mindful of your alcohol consumption throughout your cruise experience.
