The Ultimate Drinks Package

For £39.95 pp per day you can have any drinks up to the value of £6.95 and 20% off drinks over this. This package also includes small tin bottles of water (500mls) but not large bottles of water. You can only order singles and not double measures, wine is only by the glass, not by the bottle. Only one drink per person can be ordered at one time and there is a maximum of 15 drinks per day.

Stipulations are that each adult in the same cabin must purchase the drinks package, and the package is only available for cruises of five nights or over. Drinks in the mini bar are not included.

Mixers are all draught, or if cans and bottles are used then they are opened when you receive the drinks.

Non Alcoholic Package

For £19.95 you can have unlimited draught soft drinks, selected mocktails and juices, Costa coffees, teas and hot chocolate. 20% discount is applied to large bottles of water and premium soft drinks.

In addition to alcoholic drinks the same exclusions apply as above.

The Children’s Drink Package

Is available for £7.95 per day. As stated above is free if parents buy the Ultimate Drinks Package.

The Hot Drinks Package

Costs £10.95 and includes unlimited primo Costa coffees, teas and hot chocolates. Again 20% off large/medio Costa coffees and hot chocolates

We found on Iona that the choices of wines, beers and spirits were good on the drinks package but unfortunately the choice of cocktails now is not. We are cruising on Iona again in January and because the choice is now not so good we are not going to purchase the drinks package and just pay as we go.

Everyone is different, and only you will know if the drinks package is good value for you or not.  Now you have the individual prices and costs of the packages you will be able to make an informed choice.

We hope we have found this post useful, and now know whether a drinks package would be for you.
