We didn't this time and only one night would have put us over the classic! Your dog is gorgeous. When you looks at that price on top of your cruise, definitely makes you think twice. Some good points there. We think we made the right decision. Great video 🍻
Thank you 🤩 Glad to hear it worked for you. It is crazy to think we could do an entire sailing for it. Will be good to see how it works out but I’m sure we’ll spend less too. 🍻 Ah thank you, we think so too 🐶😍
Oh amazing. No pressure. Haha. We love P&O, the ships are beautiful and we’ve never really any problems with service. Hope you enjoy them as much as we do 😄 And yes, they are beautiful girls and they both know it bless them. 🐶🐶
@@GetLostWithBenAndGareth well you guys certainly make it look FAB. Love how you detail your content. There is such a smooth flow to your videos as well.
We’ve used p and o Cruises for at least six holidays now we’ve always had the drinks package but on are 14 night Cruise in February around the Caribbean on Arvia we really didn’t make much use of it as a lot of the trips included rum, punch and beer and also visited some fantastic bars in the port area where drink was cheap and the bars always had great atmosphere I would say we would have saved at least £500 if we didn’t take the drinks package, but I definitely think it’s worth it on seven night cruises like Norway and a northern Europe Cruise, as you seem to be on the ship more. Thanks for the great video.
Thanks for the comment, really appreciate it 😃 Fully agree about the 7 nighters. They do tend to lend themselves more to the packages. Good to know about the excursions and rum though 😁🍹 Going to be interesting to total it up at the end and see if it would have been better for us to have it. I hope not 😅 Have a great weekend and thanks again 🥂
We've never had a drinks package & never will. Last Sept we had 14 nights on Arvia, drinking what we wanted, when we wanted and had a bill of £360 which I was still shocked about! The thought of paying £100 per day for drinks is madness; as you said at the start, it pays for another cruise.
We’re very happy to have not gone for it. We’re finding we’re still having a drink as and when we want, but it’s nowhere near the amount we’d have been drinking with the package. So we’ve saved money and our livers are very grateful. Double bubble 🫧 😁 also booked another cruise with the savings hahaha.
Im having a 22 night cruise but 12 of these are shore days so it would be in the region of £1200 and i wouldnt be making use of nearly £600 on the shore days. Id prob only spend that on board for the full cruise.
We get the drinks package on Royal because, well, cocktails! Aussie dollars suck for exchange rates and the on board prices are USD. We save a shit load! 🙂
Just come home from a week on Britannia, had the classic drinks package, and wish I hadn't bothered. I like a drink on holiday, but take off your shore time, and trying to give your liver a rest, it's not worth it, just pay as you drink and use your on board spend.
We have never taken the drinks package. We like several items that are not on even the deluxe package so would inevitably end up paying extra for certain bottles of wine etc. When we compare our bill at the end of the holiday it is allways on a par with what the drinks package would have cost but we have had more freeedom in our choices. We both feel however ,that if unlike ourselves you are the typical nuclear family ie. 2 adults 2 kids then the standard drinks package would be excellent value for money.
Hello, so sorry for the delay. Absolutely agree with you, the drinks packages are great value for families. We are similar, we loved the cocktails in the Emerald / Amber lounges which aren't included, you do get 20% off. We'll do a wrap up shortly on what we really spent and if we were close or far from the package. We were pretty shocked actually with the outcome 😳 Hope you're doing well 😊

Your dog at the end is hilarious! 🤣 😬
She is bless her, makes some amazingly hilarious faces 🤪🐶

Your puppies are so cute!!! Thanks for the info. Never cruised P&O before, always cruise Princess, but going to give it a go because of your vids.

Yeah this is it. It’s all about weighing up how much value you’re going to get out of it.
Hope you have an amazing cruise! 🥂🚢☀️🏝️🥳
I pay £36ea for classic, it's wise to do your research before committing.
Absolutely! You end up potentially wasting a lot of money otherwise! ☺️ Thanks for watching. 🥂🏝️🚢☀️🥳

Same! We ended reluctantly getting it on our last Anthem sailing as it just works out. Especially if it’s a party cruise! 🚢

Couldn’t agree more! Hope you had a brilliant time aboard Britannia! 🏝️☀️🥂🎉

I had a drinks package for 18 nights, it's painful. Two of the nights/days I never had a drink.....Ouch !!
Totally get it! Hang overs get worse every year that goes by…! 😂🤕😓 It’s always so tempting though isn’t it! Hope you still had an amazing sailing! 🚢🥳🥂
Yeah, been back many times lol always with the package.
@@Didderly haha. As long as you have a good time, it’s all that matters! 🥂🚢☀️🎉
