Wine & Soft Drinks Packages

[dgs1956]

Can anyone please give me the up-to-date cost of a Captain's Choice Wine Package (12 bottles) and a Soft Drinks Package if purchased on board?

 

I know that they cost £200 and £35 respectively if purchased before boarding but I wondered if they were they same on board. The Loyalty Discount is not added when pre-purchased but is if on board so I I'd like to compare costs out of interest.

Captains list was the same price on-board £200 and very nice it was too, they did run out of presecco on day 10 or so of our cruise and the replacement was not to my mother in laws taste... Didn't purchase a soft drinks package so cant compare that for you.

Thanks for your reply. I thought that was the case. I did find out that the Soft Drinks Package was the same price as well.

The loyalty discount is added for pre-purchased excursions so I would expect the same for pre-purchased wine ??

Not sure what you mean. The loyalty discount only applies on the ship and not on pre-purchase Wine Packages. The price is the same onboard or pre-purchased.

It does apply for Soft Drinks Packages and Excursions if bought before boarding. Again the price is the same onboard or pre-purchased.

That is why I was checking prices.

I would like to have know how much the excursions are onboard. I think they are more expensive. If anyone knows for definite then it would be worth comparing them.

I have found in the past that some excursions have actually increased in price on the cruise personaliser. So I'm sure they probably do on board. I usually book anything I really want to do as soon as I can on the cruise personaliser.

I definitely read ( same as OP ) that if you booked the wine package before the trip you had to pay up front therefore no discount from your loyalty level. so if no on board spend at lowest level you get a 5% discount on the price for buying onboard and P&0 don't seem to add 5% to the price you pay onboard so it seems to be a win to wait until you are on the cruise, which is what the OP was trying to work out... and now we all have the answer - I hope :)

Yes, that's right the same the Wine Package is the same price but no discount for pre-purchase so best to wait until on board. The Soft Drinks is the same price so it doesn't matter when you buy it.

The excursions have the discount applied but I don't know if the prices are the same once onboard. I just need someone to tell me the price of an excursion so I can compare.
