Can You Bring Your Own Drinks On P&O Cruise Ships?
Yes, each adult can bring 1 litre of alcohol and unlimited soft drinks. Although, you can only drink the alcohol you bring onboard in your cabin. This is especially useful should you want to enjoy a glass of champagne or pre-dinner gin on your balcony. However, if you have a drinks package, I wonder if it is worth saving that valuable space for more shoes.

So if I drink G&T within the ultimate P&O drinks package do I have to pay for tonic with every drink as I dont see tonic on draught ty
No i am sure its included, you have up to £6.95 for a drink and a single gin and tonic would be £6.55 so I guess you would be ok?
On a drinks package some cocktails are more than the allowance of £6.95. If you are wanting one that costs £7.95 do you pay the extra £1 for it or have to pay full price?
@Heather Berryman, I don’t know personally, but have seen a complaint recently from someone who had been on the Iona in August saying they had to pay the full price for anything over £6.95, which does seem a bit much.
Gosh that does, I would expect to only pay the extra! Otherwise what’s the point of a drinks package?
@Heather Berryman, no I checked this- you get ‘20% discount’ off anything over £6.95 which I think is not very good. So you can have a £6.95 cocktail free but a £7.95 one will cost you £7.95-20 %(1.59) £6.36.
This is making me think about having the drinks package! Princess just charged the extra but all their cocktails were included in the 12 dollar cap!
@Heather Berryman, hi you pay £7.95 but you get 20% off the £7.95
No you have to pay the full price and they give you 20% off that full price so if the drink was £8 you would pay £6.40 …bit naughty
No you have to pay full price plus you get a discount which in our opinion is wrong
We are going on a 2 week cruise and my question is can you take out an ultimate drinks package for just 1 week or do you have to take it out for the whole cruise
I am sure you have to take it out for the whole cruise x
Ive read that the drinks package isnt included in the disembarkment so how does it work in terms of paying for drinks on this day?
Hi Alex we always get up and off early so have never had to think about this, however juiced, water tea and coffee is available in the buffet restaurant.
it’s charged separately to your on board account
i.e. your “final” bill is outside your cabin overnight this is charged to your registered card
anything on disembarkation day would be a separate charge to your card
Are po offering beer only tickets as of previous years on 2022 cruises
Ooh not sure but will check this out, although the P&O package seems to be the best deal of all the cruise lines,
There is a guy on Youtube who reviews the ultimate drinks package and he says it’s the worst. I have done a few cruise lines and this package actually looks criminal as most the drinks apart from beer are over the £6.95. I don’t know how they get away with it
I think if you drinks beer and wine or spirits you are fine but not cocktails, I agree it is wrong, but as a wine drinker its fine
I drink Malibu and fresh orange juice would that count as two drinks on the package deal?
That would be one drink, as far as we have ever experienced.
Really a great informative site
Very useful information
Thanks so much Frank, have a great day
very informative, just looking through the menus. never done a package before in all our eleven P&O cruises so feel a tad nervous about purchasing it. thank you for making our decision clearer.
Thank you glad we could help
Can I get port and lemonade in the drinks package
Yes as long as its under £6.95
Hi,
The ultimate drinks package says it includes children’s drinks so if I have that I do not need to buy separate kids packages for the two children? Also my wife does not drink alcohol but the terms seem to say every adult in the cabin needs to buy the package so can I buy one ultimate and one non alcoholic package?
I am not sure whether she can buy the non alcoholic package you would need to ring them to check but yes you get one free kids package with adult alcohol package
Both adults are required to buy the same package. Therefore only two drinks at a time. However you can buy (2) juice for the children with your package, wait 15 minutes and buy alcoholic drinks for yourselves.
Yes that is correct!
My partner wants the drinks package but can i not have the non alcoholic package? Or must we purchase two the same?
I think its the same Ann but contact them directly if there is a medical reason they may be able to help
having drank bitter for over 50 yrs i see you dont have a proper bitter shame im on her in febuary
Its not us its P&O have a fab cruise
Can you take a bottle of vodka, onto the ship, or is it just wine.
Its 1ltr of any wine or spirit each
Hi do they sell Pina Calada in all the bars on P&O Ventura and if so any idea the price please
Hi Julia we had one in quite a few bars, i think its one of those drinks all bar tenders can make
Can you bring on a bottle of wine per adult per day from every port you visit? Thanks 🙂
Hi Jack no, only on the first day of your cruise
Hi, If you had say a double Bacardi with coke would this be one drink as the double Bacardi is below the £6.95 limit ?
I dont know as I didn’t buy a double when onboard, sorry
We have just purchased an ultimate drinks package, but we are having second thoughts about whether this is worth while or not.
My partner drinks only cider and I’m not really a drinker, other than the odd glass of wine. Are there any discounts on the drinks if included in the package, or are they the same price?
I am seriously considering cancelling this option.
Thoughts please.
Hi Susan we have a drinks price calculator on the page this might help you work out if its worth it? Thanks Sarah
Hi anybody know how buying the drinks package works with just me and my 16yr old, she’s classed as an adult on the booking but obviously can’t drink alcoholic drinks would o just by one package but be able to get her soft drinks from that package too?
Hi Nicki as she is under 18 she will get the soft drinks package for free if you are purchasing the alcoholic drinks package as a far as we are aware
Thanks for taking time to assist everyone, l have had a Princes drinks package 15 max drinks per day and others unlimited. Can anyone please tell me what P&Os package is re quantity limit or unlimited
Its the same Brodie, also you cant get 2 drinks in 15 minutes and they are pretty strict on that
just buy the soft drink package and add your own alcohol … just saying 🙂
what you are just saying bring from your cabin? Who does that?
I have purchased the classic drinks package for the Christmas cruise ,as there is only one scotch whisky which is not my preferred drink why will they not allow me to take my own ? ,for consumption in my cabin
Hi Paul, no P&O have stopped people taking spirits now, but there is quite a large choice at the bars.
Going on Ventura October 5th for 14 nights do you have gluten free beer as my husband is celiac
Hi Julie last time I was on P&O there was gluten free beer, I am Gluten intolerant and they were great for Gluten Free, have a great time, Sarah
