Buckets of beer/Happy Hours/Beverage cards on P&O Aust

[Nang]

I posted this on the P&O Aust forum but haven't got a response so I thought I would try here (its pretty quiet over there).

 

Have just taken advantage of a flash sale and booked the Pacific Explorer to NZ in March 2023. I have never sailed P&O before and was hoping to get some very important questions (well, they are to me) answered ....

1.Does P&O offer happy hours? Where and when?

2. Can you buy buckets of beer? How many/bucket and is it a saving?

3. Can you buy beverage or beer cards/tickets? Is there any $ advantage?

 

I doubt I will get a drinks package but this information would remove any doubts that its not worth it for me.

TIA

It has been a while as it was well before  Covid but depending on the cruise length, there were buckets of beer, also coffee cards.

Happy hour? Not that I could spot. I am not even sure they have a discounted cocktail of the day.

Buckets of beer usually work out at 6 for the price of 5, or something like that.

No beer tickets.

 

Last I checked, P&O's drink package price worked out somewhere near 9 - 12 drinks worth, depending on your poison. A better chance to break even with cocktails or spirits than with beers.
