If you plan on sailing on Cunard this year and are considering adding a drinks package, there is a large selection of onboard drinks options. These selections are designed to add a layer of flexibility and convenience to your voyage. There is something for everyone’s preferences and tastes, from soft drinks and alcoholic options to hot beverages.
With Cunard’s drinks packages, you can wave goodbye to worrying about your bar tab and service charges. By including these in the package, we’ve ensured you won’t face a hefty drinks bill at the end of your voyage. Instead, you can kick back, relax, and savour your selection of beverages, making every moment of your voyage even more enjoyable.
While drink packages offer great value, it’s essential to consider your drinking habits. If you’re not a heavy drinker, there might be better choices than the package. On average, you’d need to consume around 6-7 drinks daily to make the package worthwhile. However, remember that the value also depends on the type of drinks you prefer, as some options may be more cost-effective than others.
Cunard’s Drinks Packages
Soft Drinks Options: $10.80 per person, per day.
