The various types of P&O Cruises drinks package have the potential to save you money while on board. With FOUR options available for the adults – and one for children – the first task is to weigh up whether it would be worth it throughout the duration of your cruise.
Here, we answer some of your common P&O Cruises drinks package questions and give you the information you’ll need to help you come to that all-important decision.
You can purchase your drinks package at any bar on board during the first two days of your cruise holiday. Every adult in your cabin must purchase the same package and there’s no sharing. But we reckon they’re pretty good value so you won’t need to and of course, if you’re a member of P&O Cruises Peninsular Club, you’ll also get a discount depending on which tier you’re in.

My husband can’t drink alcohol for medical reasons. Is it possible just to purchase the alcohol drinks package for myself if husband gets a doctors letter confirming he can’t drink alcohol
Hi Susan, this would be at the discretion of P&O Cruises, so please contact them for further details.
I’m sharing a cabin with my daughter aged 16 and my husband is sharing a cabin with my son aged 12. What drinks package can we purchase please?
Hi Susan, this is the guidance from P&O Cruises:
The same Drinks Package must be purchased by guests aged over 18 years sharing a cabin. However, children can have the Refresh Drinks Package independently of their parents and this can be purchased on board. There is no requirement for adults in the same cabin to also purchase a package.
Hope that helps!
I only drink non alcoholic for health reasons. I know I can get non alcoholic wine by bottle or glass in the restaurant but can I get it in the bars during the day pls
Is there a update price list for P&O drinks to see if the package is worth buying?
If we purchase a refresh drinks package can we still buy separately alcohol as we like
Is the drinks package useable in all venues on Brittania, limelight club and specialty restaurants such as Sindu and epicurean?
Also
If I want a double spirit, do I have the single as part of my package and then just pay the 25ml price -20% discount?
Thanks for any help
Good afternoon Kim,
Apologies for the delay in replying to you. I wanted to ensure I passed on the correct information.
I'm happy to say there's absolutely no restrictions on where you can you can use your drinks package allocations - so the Limelight Club and restaurants like Sindu and Epicurean are all included.
With regards to double spirits, for drinks packages there is a guideline on board P&O cruises that there should be 15 minutes between serving alcoholic beverages, of which a double spirit would count as two. You could order a single spirit and then wait 15 minutes and order another shot and those would both count within your drinks package and not cost extra.
It should also be noted that there is a limit of 15 alcoholic drinks per package per day but no limit on soft drinks. So if you ordered a spirit which was your 15th alcohol beverage that day and then did order another shot afterwards, then it would cost you extra in that instance minus a 20% discount.
However, I cannot say whether you'd be able to order a single spirit within your drinks package and pay for another shot to make it a double so as to not to wait the 15 minutes - I beleive that would be something that you would have to check on board and be at the discretion of the venue that is serving you at the time.
Can you tell me if Brandy is included in P&O drinks Classic Package please
Hello! We've looked into this for you, and I'm afraid that brandy or cognac isn't included on the P&O drinks packages. There is a downloadable PDF document that can be found here which lists all of the inclusions on the drinks packages, and all signature whiskies, cognacs and rums are listed under exclusions.
I'm sorry if this wasn't the answer you were looking for, but I do hope that this helps. Any further questions, do let us know.
Can adults also have the kids drink package and can u book it each day or choose the days u want it or do u have to book the entire week. Just thinking if we are off the boat all day we won't be drinking much that day on a p&o cruise
Hi Andrea, you can book the non-alcoholic package but all drinks packages have to be booked for the duration of the cruise. Thank you.
Hi looking at purchasing a drinks package for my cruise in January 2024 what happens if there is a price increase after I’ve purchased the package
Hi Kay, If you have already purchased the drinks package then the price increase wouldn't affect this. Thank you.
i think £1.11.86 for the drinks package is extortionate when only i drink and my husband doesn't don't think this is fair to be honest why not give a wrist band to the one who's paid the drinks package its simple. im looking at this for my next holiday as ive just done Marella and this wasn't an issue with drinks
