Wine prices

[Toffeegirl68]

I always budget to include the cost of wine / cocktails in my holiday cost. If the 'surcharge' means that I get to enjoy my drink on board a great ship and receive excellent service, then so be it.

 

We don't go mad when on board anyway - getting the soft drinks package helps keep the temptation day-time alcoholic drinks in check, we don't always have wine with dinner and sometimes we have one bottle over 2 nights. Mind you, there's never any risk that my cocktail cravings will be sold short!!

 

At most, we fetch a bottle of champagne on board - but even then we bring the stopper !!

 

I would far rather travel 'inside' and spend the extra on extras.

Great post, well said. :)

I am happy to pay the equivalent of £6.10 for a measure of my favourite whisky on board which includes the service charge. Greater measure than a British pub, brought to me with a smile, a few nibbles to accompany and consumed in elegant surroundings. What's not to like about that? M-AR

Couldn't agree more :)

Drinks prices are comparable with city centre bars, I would not call them excessive on the ship.

Totally agree with you. Indeed, prices in some "smart" city-centre hotel bars make Cunard prices look amazing value for money in comparison!
