Organum Posted February 17, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I am looking at a Cunard QM2 cruise for next January but find details of costs difficult to pin down. Two major potential costs are gratuities and booze. I cannot find the gratuities situation on the Cunard website. Can someone advise as over 56days if a daily charge it could be substantial money. I also cannot find drinks packages. Many thanks Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drinks packages are a Beers, Wines and Spirits Option ($69* per person per day), a Premium Soft Drinks Option ($29* per person per day), a Soft Drinks Option ($10* per person per day) and a Speciality Hot drinks option ($15* per person per day). These prices are inclusive of 15% bar service charge. Some cruises are offered with 'free' alcoholic drinks of $12.50 per. Your Travel Agent can help with that. I hope this helps.

Organum Posted February 17, 2019 Author #4 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) Thanks guys. At the Cruise Exhibition in London one of the presenters said this was common practice in the US but less so in the UK. Seems a lot but in the scheme of things maybe less so!

A couple of Christmases ago, we had a free drinks in the Grills offer. It does very rarely where it is a regular offer in US. We booked on QE for a cruise in Queens Grill and soon after we booked it they offered a "free drinks package" and was initially upset but then realised if I had booked the same suite the price of cruise had gone up over £600pp so wasnt really a "free drinks package". They also seem to get free gratuities offered a lot in US which we never get offered in UK. Edited February 17, 2019 by majortom10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
