Creator's Key Takeaways

it is quite expensive this is the current price list early 2025 for R4 night crows it cost $85.50 per night if prepaid or $95 if purchased on board

we felt overall the drinks were good quality and consistent which you can't say for all Cruise Lines

some negatives are some of the zodiac cocktails in the chart room exceed the $1350 price cap

we felt we got okay value from it on this trip as it was our first time on Cunard and we wanted to try try out the bars and drinks available

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Calculate if you drink around six large wines or cocktails at an average $12 each plus a coffee or 10 beers at an average $7 each plus a soft drink plus the 15% service charge per day to see if the package is worth it.
✓Consider the drinks package for longer voyages or transatlantic cruises where the cost per night is lower.
✓If you don't take a drinks package, you still get water with meals, coffee after, and other included beverages.
