Gin, tonic and parking

[Chrissie Ann]

Hi, we have just booked with friends (their first time) very excited here and we've cruised on Azura before.

Does anyone know, please, if I could take plastic tonic bottles with me (we don't like the soda pump), also might i get away with taking miniatures of gin, leftover from Christmas?

Also is parking free for P&O??

Thanks in anticipation and see you aboard!

No problem taking tonic with you, but they do do bottles tonic if I recall correctly. You are allowed to take 1litre of spirits per person on board.

There is a significant charge for parking unless you have taken it as an option when booking a select fare. I understand CPS (P&O's Partner) charges around £165 for a fortnight.

 

Other options are available such as hotel stay and park, taxi or coach, off site parking or meet and greet parking.

If I take 1 litre of gin on board with me can I also take some tonic (probably the small cans) for drinking on my balcony? Or do I need to buy the tonic on board?

Thanks,

Sarah

Sarah,

 

You can do both, you can take 1 Ltr. Of Gin and as many tonics as you need. Or you ca get Gordens Gin for £22 from room service and buy tins of tonic. Can’t remember the price.

 

Which ever way you do it your cabin steward will provide ice and lemon each day.

 

Enjoy

I may well be wrong ( & haven’t bothered to look it up) but I don’t think you would get away with a sack load of miniatures. I think the wording is in effect that you can take 1 bottle of alcohol ( max vol 1l) per person.

so can you take soft drinks on board from ports or call?
