supered Posted June 17, 2009 #2 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Hi Bridmo You can take wine on board for consumption in the cabin. There is a ploicy that they will only stop alcohol being taken on board if you are misbehaving. As for bar prices I can't remember exactly but they are average UK pub prices. A pint of beer was £2.35 and a large glass of house wine £2.45 as far as I recall. I hope that helps. Have a great cruise when it comes.

bridmo Posted June 19, 2009 Author #4 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Thanks for that LibaLass41, we to have a balcony and thought it would be nice to sit there with a drink before going for evening meal but as it's our first time wasn't sure whether it was possible.

CASPALL Posted June 19, 2009 #5 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Ocaeana had 2 bars that we really liked. Magnums and Yacht and Compass. We enjoyed a pre-pre dinner drink in our cabin and then set off to one of our favourite bars at 8pm. Caryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
