The first time, our table nobly managed to work our way through most of the packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skleeb Posted November 23, 2020 #5 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Here's a strange question to go along with the drinks package one-Are you allowed to bring alchohol on board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The others that I have been on specifally prohibit it since it cuts into their profits. Has anyone on this board done it? I will be on a tandem(2 way) crossing and I won't get the package on either trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMac1953 Posted November 23, 2020 #8 Share Posted November 23, 2020 We normally take half a dozen bottles of Veuve. Others take more. As we normally travel QG, so don't need spirits, but others take enough for the whole trip. The only caveat is that the drinks must be consumed in your room, or you pay $20 corkage in a bar or restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger88 Posted November 23, 2020 #10 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I dont really understand the point of all those drink packages. Honestly, I drink more than this package can offer. Moreover, I pay three times more for drinks that the package itself costs lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newjoisey Posted November 23, 2020 #11 Share Posted November 23, 2020 whenever i hear the term "package" being offered i usually make sure my wallet is not missing..........missing like it was pickpocketed . In my wild and crazy single days i could not drink 70.00 in a day yet alone pay their 140.00 now days fee ....i/we would be dead of alcohol poisoning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudhen Posted November 23, 2020 #12 Share Posted November 23, 2020 In the past we've brought a case of "special" wine. Corkage used to be 15$, it's now up to 20$. We'll probably bring a few bottles of Clicquot for in cabin "treats". However there is no stigma whatsoever about bringing wine/spirits onboard but as mentioned above, only for cabin use.

There are also glasses in your cabin - and an ice bucket - nothing to stop you taking them out to the deck to consume! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are sailing on a longer trip, it's worth it to pay the $20 corkage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing at all, I agree, but to me, it doesn't seem right somehow. Drink in the cabin, on the balcony, and as a contribution to another cabin party of course but I wouldn't drink anything brought onboard, elsewhere on the ship. Same goes for QG bottle allowances which I know we are very lucky to have, and which we try and share with friends as much as we can if they're onboard. All other drinks, usually wine, and champagne too if hosting a cabin party, we buy onboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would feel the same, though sometimes I feel they may be wasted on Cunard. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majortom10 Posted November 24, 2020 #17 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I would never dream of taking any alcohol taken onboard and not purchased from Cunard anywhere else on the ship be it a lounge or deck and only consume it in my stateroom. I can see the more that start doing that then Cunard will stop you taking alcohol onboard and ruin it for everybody. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindylooellalouise Posted November 24, 2020 #19 Share Posted November 24, 2020 We always take on board a couple of bottles of our favourite wine to consume in our stateroom or balcony, last year we were disgusted with some passengers in the queens room who were blatantly drinking from their own supply, people like this will spoil it for others Cunard also allows alcohol bought in ports to be taken to your cabin to consume.

We booked a TA for May 2022 on QM2, it will be our first time with Cunard. We are used to getting a drinks package with Celebrity as part of the booking, haven't had to buy one separately in years.
