Can You Bring Your Own Drinks On P&O Cruise Ships?

Yes, each adult can bring 1 litre of alcohol and unlimited soft drinks. Although, you can only drink the alcohol you bring onboard in your cabin. This is especially useful should you want to enjoy a glass of champagne or pre-dinner gin on your balcony. However, if you have a drinks package, I wonder if it is worth saving that valuable space for more shoes.

So if I drink G&T within the ultimate P&O drinks package do I have to pay for tonic with every drink as I dont see tonic on draught ty

No i am sure its included, you have up to £6.95 for a drink and a single gin and tonic would be £6.55 so I guess you would be ok?

On a drinks package some cocktails are more than the allowance of £6.95. If you are wanting one that costs £7.95 do you pay the extra £1 for it or have to pay full price?

@Heather Berryman, I don’t know personally, but have seen a complaint recently from someone who had been on the Iona in August saying they had to pay the full price for anything over £6.95, which does seem a bit much.

Gosh that does, I would expect to only pay the extra! Otherwise what’s the point of a drinks package?

@Heather Berryman, no I checked this- you get ‘20% discount’ off anything over £6.95 which I think is not very good. So you can have a £6.95 cocktail free but a £7.95 one will cost you £7.95-20 %(1.59) £6.36. This is making me think about having the drinks package! Princess just charged the extra but all their cocktails were included in the 12 dollar cap!

@Heather Berryman, hi you pay £7.95 but you get 20% off the £7.95

No you have to pay the full price and they give you 20% off that full price so if the drink was £8 you would pay £6.40 …bit naughty

No you have to pay full price plus you get a discount which in our opinion is wrong

We are going on a 2 week cruise and my question is can you take out an ultimate drinks package for just 1 week or do you have to take it out for the whole cruise

I am sure you have to take it out for the whole cruise x

Ive read that the drinks package isnt included in the disembarkment so how does it work in terms of paying for drinks on this day?

Hi Alex we always get up and off early so have never had to think about this, however juiced, water tea and coffee is available in the buffet restaurant.

it’s charged separately to your on board account i.e. your “final” bill is outside your cabin overnight this is charged to your registered card anything on disembarkation day would be a separate charge to your card

Are po offering beer only tickets as of previous years on 2022 cruises

Ooh not sure but will check this out, although the P&O package seems to be the best deal of all the cruise lines,

There is a guy on Youtube who reviews the ultimate drinks package and he says it’s the worst. I have done a few cruise lines and this package actually looks criminal as most the drinks apart from beer are over the £6.95. I don’t know how they get away with it

I think if you drinks beer and wine or spirits you are fine but not cocktails, I agree it is wrong, but as a wine drinker its fine

I drink Malibu and fresh orange juice would that count as two drinks on the package deal?

That would be one drink, as far as we have ever experienced.

Really a great informative site Very useful information

Thanks so much Frank, have a great day

very informative, just looking through the menus. never done a package before in all our eleven P&O cruises so feel a tad nervous about purchasing it. thank you for making our decision clearer.

Thank you glad we could help

Can I get port and lemonade in the drinks package

Yes as long as its under £6.95

The ultimate drinks package says it includes children’s drinks so if I have that I do not need to buy separate kids packages for the two children? Also my wife does not drink alcohol but the terms seem to say every adult in the cabin needs to buy the package so can I buy one ultimate and one non alcoholic package?

I am not sure whether she can buy the non alcoholic package you would need to ring them to check but yes you get one free kids package with adult alcohol package

Both adults are required to buy the same package. Therefore only two drinks at a time. However you can buy (2) juice for the children with your package, wait 15 minutes and buy alcoholic drinks for yourselves.

Yes that is correct!

My partner wants the drinks package but can i not have the non alcoholic package? Or must we purchase two the same?

I think its the same Ann but contact them directly if there is a medical reason they may be able to help

having drank bitter for over 50 yrs i see you dont have a proper bitter shame im on her in febuary

Its not us its P&O have a fab cruise

Can you take a bottle of vodka, onto the ship, or is it just wine.

Its 1ltr of any wine or spirit each

Hi do they sell Pina Calada in all the bars on P&O Ventura and if so any idea the price please

Hi Julia we had one in quite a few bars, i think its one of those drinks all bar tenders can make

Can you bring on a bottle of wine per adult per day from every port you visit? Thanks 🙂

Hi Jack no, only on the first day of your cruise

Hi, If you had say a double Bacardi with coke would this be one drink as the double Bacardi is below the £6.95 limit ?

I dont know as I didn’t buy a double when onboard, sorry

We have just purchased an ultimate drinks package, but we are having second thoughts about whether this is worth while or not. My partner drinks only cider and I’m not really a drinker, other than the odd glass of wine. Are there any discounts on the drinks if included in the package, or are they the same price? I am seriously considering cancelling this option. Thoughts please.

Hi Susan we have a drinks price calculator on the page this might help you work out if its worth it? Thanks Sarah

Hi anybody know how buying the drinks package works with just me and my 16yr old, she’s classed as an adult on the booking but obviously can’t drink alcoholic drinks would o just by one package but be able to get her soft drinks from that package too?

Hi Nicki as she is under 18 she will get the soft drinks package for free if you are purchasing the alcoholic drinks package as a far as we are aware

Thanks for taking time to assist everyone, l have had a Princes drinks package 15 max drinks per day and others unlimited. Can anyone please tell me what P&Os package is re quantity limit or unlimited

Its the same Brodie, also you cant get 2 drinks in 15 minutes and they are pretty strict on that

just buy the soft drink package and add your own alcohol … just saying 🙂

what you are just saying bring from your cabin? Who does that?

P&O Drinks Menu 2021

Looking for a P&O drinks menu? You have come to the right place.

You may have booked one of the summer staycation cruises or you want to know if the drinks package offered ( read more about that here ) is worth your while… we’ll we’ve just come back from a cruise on P&O Britannia and have the drinks prices below. 

Those cruising on P&O Britannia ( watch our ship tour here ) or P&O Iona will find these useful in deciding if the P&O drinks package is worth it or if you just want to see a P&O menu.

We didn’t get pictures of each menu, so these are just a sample to give you an idea.

Standard Drinks Menu:

Glass House menu:

This was quite disappointing, if you have previously cruised with P&O you will know the manu used to be much larger than this:

P&O: The Glass House Menu

P&O Cruises is a beloved cruise line amongst British cruisers. I was fortunate to cruise the Caribbean on Britannia from Barbados . In this post, I share information and my thoughts on The Glass House.

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links, which help to keep the website going and in turn, helps me to continue sharing useful content to fellow cruisers. If you decide to use any of these links I’d like to thank you for your support.

About The Glass House

The Glass House is a specialty dining venue on Britannia. It’s also onboard P&O’s Aurora, Azura, and Ventura and will be featured on the new Iona cruise ship. Pricing for food and drink is al a carte but if you have the drinks package , you can use it here. It’s a less expensive option in comparison to other specialty dining onboard Britannia such as Sindhu or The Epicurean.

The Glass House on Britannia is located on Deck 7 of the Atrium. Its position enables you to enjoy a relaxing drink and a bite to eat. If you sit closer to the Atrium, you can listen to the entertainment in the Atrium. We gravitated to this area on several evenings during our cruise for a quiet drink and chat with friends.

The menu meticulously pairs light, tapas-style dishes with a selection of wines that cannot be enjoyed anyway else on the ship. British TV presenter and wine expert, Olly Smith, has had a hand in the menu so it’s fair to say that some thought has gone into the food and drink on offer.

The Glass House is open from 11.00am to 11.00pm. During my cruise, it was quiet during the day but got busy in the evenings. My advice would be to enjoy lunch here. If you would like to dine in the evening, you should pick your times wisely as reservations cannot be made. I’m sure the itinerary has an influence on it’s peak times. On my Caribbean cruise, the majority of passengers were on outside decks during the day but a Baltic cruise may bring more people inside. It’s also worth visiting on port days when the ship is quieter.

The Glass House Food Menus

I am kicking myself that I didn’t note down all of the prices on the food menu. Prices start from around £5.25 for three small dishes. A steak starts at £5.50 and crab sliders are £4.95. The pricing is al a carte but very reasonable for the quality of the food on offer.

You can check out some example menus , to see if there’s anything that takes your fancy.

Keep an eye out for discounts at The Glass House throughout your cruise, with the best savings witnessed towards the end of our cruise.

The Glass House Drinks Menu 2020

While I was onboard Britannia, I did manage to take photos of the 2020 drinks menu at The Glass House. The menu includes prosecco, wine flights of three 100ml glasses and a small selection of ales.

Final Thoughts

The Glass House on Britannia is a relaxed dining venue that can be a refreshing change from the busy lunch time buffet or formal main dining rooms. Great thought has been given to the food and wine menus. I like the small plates available here as you can try several dishes without overindulging.

This venue is well-positioned in the Atrium to create a sociable atmosphere with entertainment throughout the evening on Deck 5.

The wine flights are perfect for sampling new wines and the drinks list doesn’t scrimp on detailed descriptions of each item. This venue is very well-suited to those who appreciate wine and good food.

P&O Cruises' Britannia sets sail after extensive refurbishment

P&O Cruises UK 's flagship Britannia left from Southampton on April 21st following an extensive multimillion drydock refurbishment .

The company recently announced that Britannia will be featured in its travel agent ship visit schedule, offering 3 opportunities for visits.

Completed earlier this month, the refurb prepares the vessel for its upcoming 10th-anniversary celebration cruise on June 6, 2025.

The upgrades encompass various areas of the ship, including public spaces, all staterooms, as well as an extension of the loyalty desk and cruise sales area. Additionally, enhancements have been made to the Market Cafe, and a substantial investment has been allocated for crew areas. The children's splash area has been revamped with interactive water features. Furthermore, the capacity of the Sunset Bar has been increased with extra seating, incorporating design elements from P&O UK's newest ships ( Iona and Arvia ).

Introduction

At times, one desires something new and exciting that complements the old. So, in comes the Caribbean Mule!

While you are probably familiar with the Moscow Mule, the Caribbean Mule is a variation that might just become your new favorite. The Caribbean Mule is a popular Mule that substitutes vodka for rum. An avid rum-drinker will no doubt love this version of the traditional Moscow Mule. And the best part is that it can easily be made from scratch without leaving your home. 

In this article, we’ll take a look at the easy-to-make, yet absolutely irresistible recipes for the Caribbean Mule. We’ll explore how the cocktails tastes, how it ought to be served, the different ways it can be made, and the different recipes. So, let’s get started!

History of the Caribbean Mule

Although there’s plenty to love about the original Moscow Mule, variety is undeniably the spice of life. Thus, there is good reason to have a collection of recipes for your cocktails. With only a cabinet full of liquor from different parts of the world and a few basic ingredients, exploring with the Mule drink is like going on an adventure from the comfort of your home bar. 

Because the original Mule was named to pay homage to where vodka came from, Russia, its variations have followed the same idea. The Caribbean Mule takes the spirit of the enchanting blue waters of the Caribbean islands, combined with conventional ginger beer. 

With the Caribbean Mule, you can choose to use spiced rum, white rum, pineapple-flavored rum, or even coconut rum. The sweetness of the drink is livened up by the ginger flavors.

Caribbean Mule Ingredients

The ingredients in this variation are:

• Rum – To achieve the best flavor, choose a premium quality rum.
• Lime juice – Fresh lime juice balances out the sweetness and adds a tangy flavor.
• Simple syrup – This can be made at home and is comprised of water, granulated sugar and, if you want to add a greater ginger kick, fresh slices of ginger.
• Ginger beer – Choose a high-quality beer for the best results.
• Ice – Use small crushed ice for heightened sensation and guaranteed chilling while drinking.

Which Rum Should You Use for your Caribbean Mule?

Spiced rum brings a comforting, warm feel that’s perfect during fall. When paired with ginger beer, the result is an extra sweetness and spice perfect for those cozy, cold nights or for entertaining your guests. Even when it comes to mixed drinks, you should always ensure you buy quality spiced rum. Preferably, use one with a medium to heavy texture. The flavors of the rum come out and help even out the ginger beer and simple syrup. 

You can also choose to use Red Leg rum. Red Leg spiced rum comes from the makers of Blavod, a premium vodka. The name is inspired by the red legged hermit crab that is indigenous to the coral reefs found in the Caribbean. The rum is infused with vanilla and ginger  and then rested in oak casks to marry all the spicy flavors.

• Add ice, lime juice, rum, and simple syrup, then shake.
• Strain mixture in a highball glass and top with ice.
• Fill the glass with ginger beer and stir.
• Use the mint sprig to garnish.

Which One Should You Use: Ginger Beer or Ginger Ale?

Although it’s possible to use ginger ale instead of ginger beer in your Caribbean Mule cocktails, you won’t achieve the depth of ginger flavor, which is what makes ginger beer such a great mixer. Ginger beer is actually fermented and has a sharper, more pronounced ginger flavor and almost .05 percent alcohol. Besides, it’s less carbonated compared to ginger ale .

Making Homemade Simple Syrup

Simple syrup is a mixture of sugar and water that’s dissolved and then cooled. The ideal ratio should be 1:1.

To make a ginger simple syrup, you should mix a few fresh slices of ginger with water and sugar and put it in a small saucepan. Then, place it over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes. Once the sugar has dissolved, remove from the heat and allow to cool.

Should You Make Your Own Simple Syrup or Use A Store-Bought One?

Even if you're a novice, making your own homemade spiced Caribbean Mule with your own simple syrup is very easy. The advantage of making your own is you can control the sweetness and flavor when cooking. For instance, adding extra ginger will give your drink more punch. On the other hand, if you need a faster drink, then store-bought simple syrup is your best bet. However, it will not have as much ginger flavor. 

Get Creative

Does the idea of rum and ginger beer sound fascinating? Rather than just following a specific recipe, take a tall glass and fill it with ice to the brim. Next, pour a shot of rum or two. Add ginger beer to the ice and rum until you find the balance that perfectly suits your palate.

It’s Always a Good Time

With these delicious and refreshing recipes, you can rest assured that these cocktails will excite any palate. The drinks are meant to be sweet but not overly sweet, and the alcohol contents, although generously poured, can still be subtle depending on what you like.

Cocktails are more than simply drinks. They make friends out of strangers and bring people together. So, sit back, relax, and have a good time with any of these amazing recipes.
