Editorial Summary

The creator provides a detailed breakdown of the 2024 P&O Cruises drinks packages to help travelers determine if these options offer better value than paying per drink. The video outlines four distinct tiers: the Refresh package for soft drinks, the Alcohol-free package, the Classic package which includes drinks up to a 750 pound value, and the Deluxe package which covers premium brands and larger pours. The creator explains specific rules, such as the fifteen minute waiting period between orders and the requirement that all adults in a cabin select the same package. Extensive menu analysis is provided for various onboard locations, including deck bars, lounges, and specialty venues like the gin bar, highlighting which items fall into specific tiers. The video also lists numerous exclusions that apply to all packages, such as signature whiskies, champagne, and room service. To conclude, the creator performs a cost-benefit analysis, suggesting that travelers should consider their personal consumption habits and the potential for free children's packages to decide between a pre-paid plan or the pay-as-you-go model.

Creator's Key Takeaways

since I last covered this in a video last year prices of the drinks packages have increased as have the individual drink prices on the pay as you go menu

overall piano cruises provide a range of drinks packages to accommodate different needs and budgets while these packages have some limitations and exclusions they can still offer good value for money based on your drinking habits and preferences

on a personal note we haven't purchased the package as our alcohol consumption is not all that high and fluctuates

P Ando distinguishes Itself by not artificially inflating individual drink prices to make the package the only viable option

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Consider your typical drinks bill and consumption habits to determine if a package is worthwhile
βœ“If traveling with children, note that a child receives the refresh package for free with adult classic or deluxe purchase
βœ“Keep an eye out for promotional discounts, such as extra 20% off when purchasing at booking
