Everything is in Sterling on all P&O ships.

Another question re Ventura - do they have the 'bag of laundry' offer like they do on Princess?

Don't know about Ventura, never been on it, but they do sometimes as an offer on Aurora :)

Just back Sunday off Ventura, had a great time no complaints what so ever.

Re drinks prices

4 gin and Tonics and a Pina collada about £12.50, bottle of wine £13 ish and upwards, we thought the drinks were approximately pub prices(well here up north anyway)

 

Laundry - they offered a couple of deals but I cannot remember how much. There is a self service laundrette on board with washers dryers and irons. We saw a few men ironing their dinner shirts on a formal night.

Great news about the gin and tonics. We are off in 6 weeks time. Can't wait.

Just back off Ventura (after being delayed in Barbados for 50 hours as the plane to Gatwick on Friday had a problem that required a spare part, which had to be flown out from the UK...we finally flew back Sunday night, arriving in UK 2 days late on Monday...but that's another story!).

 

Drink Prices - a few examples:

Pint of Stella £2.95 or Banks Lager £2.70

Bottle of Beer (Pedigree, Speckled Hen, etc) £2.65 - £2.70

Long Beach Iced Tea cocktail £3.95

Cocktail of the day £2.75

Mocktail |(non-alcoholic cocktail) £1.80

J2O £1.70

 

The self-service laundry rooms are free...just bring some washing cubes!

 

Hope that helps.

I notice on the P & O website it says about drinks packages. Buy 6 bottles of wine or beer and get one free. Has anyone tried that and if so how does it work?
