davemorton Posted October 25, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Okay, before I start, sorry for bring drinks packages up again, and hoping this will not turn into a discussion on the merits/perils of one but....I was sure I had read that lately they have been offering 10% off them on he second day, or something like that. Did I dream it, or can anyone confirm please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemorton Posted October 25, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Cheers Grapau. I thought I had read someone say they reduced them by 10% on the second day. I probably imagined it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemorton Posted October 25, 2019 Author #6 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Spooky! Well, in a dilemma, as going to give it a try, but unsure if I should wait until the second day or not, hmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bungle66 Posted October 25, 2019 #7 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Is it easy to run up a bar bill of £40 per person per day on board? I don't think my spend has got anywhere near that amount even with the odd cocktail thrown in. Then again we are not big drinkers but it does seem an exorbitant price to me.

davemorton Posted October 25, 2019 Author #8 Share Posted October 25, 2019 If you consider fresh juices, coffees...and even more so, free drinks for the kids, then it starts to look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I dream it, or can anyone confirm please? We were on Britannia at the end of July and on the second day they had an offer if you bought the drinks package then you got 2 days free, essentially paying for 10 days I think. I bought it as soon as we boarded and should have made an issue out of this but never. I should have really as it annoyed me. The offer was in the Horizom magazine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemorton Posted October 25, 2019 Author #10 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Thats what I am after, thanks Alan. Wonder if they do the same on the first whole day of a 7 day cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowzz Posted October 25, 2019 #11 Share Posted October 25, 2019 There was a comment elsewhere, that on one cruise, only 30 cabins had purchased the drinks package. Obviously this is purely anecdotal, and I am sure the numbers taking up the package will vary depending on the cruise demographic, but I would be pretty confident that on cruises of more than 14 days, the take up will be miniscule. I wonder if P&O will introduce some sort of "light" drinks package for longer, cruises, say £25 for 6 drinks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annieuk Posted October 26, 2019 #12 Share Posted October 26, 2019 We were on Aurora for the whole of September and we were really surprised that there wasn't anyone trying to 'sell' the Drinks Package. I did see a stand set up near one of the MDRs along with adverts for the Glasshouse and Beach House but no-one came round trying to encourage people to purchase the package. In fact we didn't even hear anyone mention it amongst the passengers we chatted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartanexile81 Posted October 26, 2019 #13 Share Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) If they started offering 10% off on Day 2, nobody would pay full price. I've definitely not seen this. I've worked out that if we were to buy a package for our next cruise it would cost £2880. We've done this length of cruise a few times now and NEVER had a bar bill even remotely near that - and we lie our drinks though not coffee Edited October 26, 2019 by tartanexile81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
