The above packages replace the line’s previous drinks packages: The Children’s package (£7.95) for soft drinks; the hot drinks package (£10.95) for premium hot drinks only; the combined non-alcoholic drinks package for adults (£19.95) and the Ultimate drinks package (£39.95) for non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks.
In line with P&O Cruises' alcohol policy, Packages can be purchased by logging into My P&O Cruises up to three days before sailing or within the first two nights onboard.
Though the prices above are per day, none of the package can be purchased on a per-day basis, and must be purchased for the duration of the cruise (which is industry standard). All adults staying in the same cabin must purchase the same package with packages limited to 15 drinks in any 24-hour period.
