Creator's Key Takeaways

just because it might work for one couple or family or person it might not actually work for you and your circumstances and your preferences

I've sold almost 200 nights with piano cruises and on some cruises I've tried and tested the ultimate drinks package

the classic drinks package is only going to be worth it if both adults get equal value out of it

if you're staying in one of these grades of cabins you will actually receive a complimentary bottle of champagne in your cabin upon arrival

Here are the 9 quick questions that will help you to work out if the P&O Cruises classic drinks package is worth it FOR YOU. ****please note, since recording this video, P&O Cruises have changed the policy. You can no longer take spirits on board - each person over 18 can take 1litre max of wine or Champagneโ€™*** Just because the drinks package is value for money for some it doesn't mean it will be value for money for you. Most Drinks package review videos don't cover these important questions. In May 2023 P&O made some changes to their drinks packages. if you want a recap of what the changes were then head on over to my blog post which runs through all the updates and changes in detail. ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป ๐Ÿ›ŸBLOG POST with all the details about the updates. https://cruisewithamber.co.uk/po-cruises-drinks-packages/ For the purposes of this video I'm going to focus specifically on the Classic drink package launched in May 2023 because this is the closest equivalent to the previous ultimate drinks package, When do the new drinks Package start? It looks like drink packages will be rolled out across the fleet between 20 May โ€“ 6 July depending on the ship. For cruises which set sail before these dates, the current packages will still be available to purchase. _________ ๐ŸคฉโญPlease support my channel in one of the following FREE ways โญ๐Ÿคฉ ๐Ÿ‘Like ๐Ÿ“ฉSubscribe ๐Ÿ””Hit the Notifications Bell โžก๏ธShare ___________ โš“LET'S GET SOCIAL!
