Rules that catch people out
- Every adult in the cabin must buy the same package — you can't buy one and share.
- 15 alcoholic drinks per 24 hours, counted from 6am. One drink at a time. Soft drinks stay unlimited.
- Minimum 5 nights — no packages on short cruises.
- Buying on board? The 10% discount only applies via pre-book, up to 3 days before sailing.
- No per-drink price cap. Classic and Deluxe differ by serving size (175ml vs 250ml wine, 25ml vs 50ml spirits) and cocktail range, not price.
- P&O adds no service charge — tips are in the fare. US lines add 18% per drink; our calculators account for it per line.
