Are bar prices expensive on a cruise ship?

The bar prices on cruise ships vary from ship to ship depending on the individual cruise line.

Bar prices on board a cruise ship can be broadly similar to those on the UK high street depending on what you choose to drink, however some drinks can be much more expensive than others.

Prices onboard are generally in US Dollars or British Pounds depending on the individual cruise line.

Drinks may also vary between restaurants and entertainment areas and will be added on to your room bill to pay at the end of your cruise.

Some bars may have special offers and happy hours so have a look out for these on board.

Gratuities will also be added on to your drinks bill, this cost will also depend on the individual cruise line and will be issued to the bar person who served you.

Many cruise lines offer All-Inclusive cruise drinks packages allowing you to pre-pay for a set daily fee to include all of your onboard refreshments and alcoholic drinks. These types of packages are worth considering if you feel that this would be of benefit to you as this can save you money and reduce your onboard bill at the end of your cruise.

Helpful and patient staff

Very good. I had specific requirements re flight times for our trip to Australia as my husband has dementia. Olive was very patient arranging things and going through all the fine details. Prior to my visit to the shop Andy had sourced flights and options available to me. Always happy to return to the Bishop Briggs branch .
