bill & jac Posted February 17, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I believe you can buy a drinks package for £35 pppd? This is for non branded labels ‘house’? if you want to have a labelled brand ie Grey Goose Vodka you’d have to pay 50% on top? Thank you in advance.

marylizcat Posted February 17, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 17, 2020 It only costs that much on cruises of five nights or less. Normally it is £19 per person per day. I really doubt anybody could get value out of the package at that price. You would need to drink a lot and then some more! Here is the link to what is included https://www.fredolsencruises.com/cruising-information/drinks-upgrade. It doesn’t include cocktails, just makes them half-price.

July morning Posted February 17, 2020 #3 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I've just gotten home from Braemar and was as marylizcat cat said. I paid £19pp prepaying if we had waited until we got on board it was £29pp (14 night cruise) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovccruiser Posted February 18, 2020 #4 Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) Where the package fails, imo, is you cannot pay for one person only in the cabin, you have to pay for 2. My wife doesn't drink and there is no way I can drink £38 a day even at ship prices, which are not too high. I really cannot see the problem with only one drinker per cabin, I couldn't buy a drink for anyone else on my drinks package card, staff, quite rightly, wouldn't allow it. Come on Fred, allow us single drinkers one package per cabin. Edited February 18, 2020 by ovccruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marylizcat Posted February 18, 2020 #5 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Yes, I agree. Having to buy the package for all in the cabin makes it a no-no for us too. We travel with our adult son who does not drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiggertom Posted February 23, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 23, 2020 If you book your cruise through a tour operator like Titan Travel, the drinks package costs £29 per day, regardless of how many nights you are on board, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tring Posted February 27, 2020 #7 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Be aware the drinks pack does not include hot drinks from the bars - though there is a 24 hour servery if you want to collect a drink from there. A plus which we discovered on our recent cruise is that the pack now includes a cocktail of the day and a non alcoholic cocktail of the day. I agree £35pp is excessive and even £19 pp is pushing it for us, so we do not normally have it unless it is included in in the purchase deal for the cruise as a free AI option.
