How Much Are Drinks on P&O Cruises?

Depending on where you live in the UK, you may find that P&O drink prices are similar to what you’d pay in your local pub.

Wherever in the world you cruise to, drinks on P&O Cruises’ ships are all priced in pounds sterling, so it’s easy to know how much you’re spending.

P&O Cruises Drinks Menus

Each P&O Cruises ship will have many different bars and restaurants onboard, and each venue will have different drinks available. The pub has lots of different beers but a smaller cocktail menu, whereas the cocktail bars have lots of cocktails and a smaller choice of beers.

The following menu is the standard P&O drinks menu and wine list. You’ll find this in several places on board P&O Cruises’ ships, such as the poolside bars and the buffet restaurant. As you can see, P&O bar prices are quite reasonable.

P&O Cruises serve kosher and vegan wines. You can ask onboard for more information.

P&O Cruises Costa Coffee menu

Here’s the menu for the Costa Coffee shop on P&O Cruises’ ships. You can also get Costa speciality coffees in many of the other bars and lounges on your ship.

Brodies Pub Drinks Menu

Each ship in the P&O Cruises fleet has a traditional British pub. These include The Rising Sun on Arcadia, Champions Bar on Aurora, The Yacht & Compass on Oceana, The Exchange on Ventura and Brodies on Azura, Britannia and Iona.

Each pub has its own unique character and charm, but all offer an extensive drinks menu and wine list. Below are photos of the drinks menus from Brodies on board Iona:

P&O Cruises’ Wine List

Here is the P&O Cruises’ wine list. It’s available in each of the restaurants as well as selected bars and lounges on each ship.

Crow’s Next Drinks Menu

The Crow’s Nest is an elegant bar, located at the very top of the ship. It has an extensive menu with a large choice of cocktails and spirits. The Crow’s Nest is a popular spot to enjoy a nightcap before bed. It’s also a lovely place to go for a pre-dinner drink, especially if you can admire the views before it goes dark.

Anderson’s Bar Drinks List

Iona has its very own gin distillery on board, so you can enjoy Marabelle gin that was crafted on the ship. Marabelle gin is available in every bar, but here is the menu for Anderson’s Bar and Library which has the largest selection of gins.

More Bar and Lounge Drinks Menus

The other bars and lounges on P&O Cruises ships include The 710 Club, The Glass House, Emerald Bar, The Keel and Cow and The Limelight Club. Each has their own drinks menus too.

I haven’t added them all here, but they’re of similar size to the other drinks menus so there are lots of choices.

Room Service Drinks List

If you’d like to enjoy a drink in your room or perhaps on your balcony, then the following menu lists the drinks that are available to order via room service:

If you have a drinks package with P&O Cruises, you should note that room service drinks aren’t included in your drinks package.

You can order full 70cl bottles of spirits on room service, including whisky, vodka, gin and rum. This is a good option for anyone doing a longer cruise such as a world cruise.

Mini Bar Drinks

Each cabin also has a mini bar which is replenished daily. The following drinks menu and price list for the mini bar is from a couple of years ago, so the prices have increased slightly since then, but this will give you an idea.

Mini bar drinks are also not included in the P&O Cruises drinks package.

Bringing Your Own Alcohol On P&O Cruises Ships

P&O Cruises allows each passenger aged 18 and over to bring up to 1 litre of wine or Champagne, and unlimited soft drinks, on board the ship when they embark. If you purchase any more alcohol, either ashore or in the onboard duty-free shop, it will be held in storage until the end of your cruise.

The alcohol that you bring on board can be consumed in your stateroom without a charge. So if you enjoy a drink while getting ready to go out in the evening, or perhaps a nightcap, then bringing your own drinks can be a great way to save money on your cruise.

If you want to drink your wine elsewhere on the ship, there’s a £20 corkage fee to pay.

You used to be able to bring spirits onboard too but they’ve changed that policy now. On previous cruises, we saved over £400 by bringing our own drinks, compared to if we had bought the same spirits and mixers individually at bar prices. Plus, they were there in our fridge, which was very convenient. So it’s a shame that the policy has changed.

P&O Cruises All-Inclusive Drinks Packages

In 2019, P&O Cruises introduced a drinks package that can turn your cruise from full-board to all-inclusive. P&O drinks packages are available on cruises of five nights or more, and must be purchased for every day of the cruise.
