P&O drinks package calculator: is it worth it?
Package prices verified from pocruises.com · 6 August 2026 · Bar prices estimated, cross-checked July 2026
The calculator needs JavaScript. You can still compare by hand: package prices and bar prices work without it.
How the verdict is calculated
- Your bar bill uses typical onboard prices — see the full price list — and the package side uses the official price for your cruise length and purchase timing, not a single flat rate.
- It multiplies by every adult in the cabin, because P&O makes all adults buy the same package.
- It compares all four packages at once — sometimes Classic doesn't pay off but Alcohol-free does.
- When the gap is under 15%, it says so instead of pretending certainty.
- Sea days and port days can carry different drinking patterns — open "Advanced". Most people drink far less on excursion days.
