Drinks Package

[cruisaway26]

My son turns 18 on the second day of P&O Adventure cruise.  Are we able to purchase a drinks package on the second day on board once he turns 18. 

 

The P&O American site implies that drink packages can be purchased before the cruise or on the first two days of the cruise but the Australian site says it must be purchased before hand. 

 

Does anyone know if it can be purchased on board when he turns 18? 

 

Thanks

Packages could be bought on board on a cruise we took in 2018. However, I think P&O have now changed the policy and packages must be bought in advance. Perhaps you should contact P&O and ask for clarification in your son's case as it's a bit of a grey area.

Also, consider how much alcohol he is likely to drink. It may work out cheaper if he just pays as he goes. Average cocktail is $16 and I think beer is about $8-10. Premium drinks package is $99 per day.

I've just had a look on the P&O website:

Beverage packages can only be purchased pre-cruise and are not available onboard.
