We went on The Queen Mary and bought the drinks package like yours both ways southampton new york return. We should have used it much more and made an art form of it especially the teas coffees and cocktails. Silly us!
@@rexbourne7635 oh wow. We would love to do the transatlantic on QM there and back. And we have only just (in last few cruises) properly figured out the fancy coffees and teas too.

I went on the Queen Elizabeth but before Covid and did not have a balcony but I would choose to have a balcony next time because I prefer to have some sea air if I feel like it and have some natural light in the room.
We were on this very cruise,had a wonderful time.Cunards classy chilled out style is very much to my taste.I like a drink but with a teetotal partner a drinks package would not be of any use

Hey Mark and Linz..Ive been patiently waiting for your drinks package video :-) Im still picking myself up off of the floor after the P&O one lol... you did warn me :-) I think this is much better, and although £50 seems expensive, like you I guess, I would absolutely cover that Im sure with cocktails, hot beverages etc on a daily basis - and you're on holiday - so, if I travel on this ship, ill certainly be taking the package. thanks again for. great and fun video, have a great week, and cant wait for the next...Terry x
Sorry we didn't warn you Terry :) Cunards package was much better and we found it so easy to get value for money on it. And the choice of drinks was so massive. We've lots.more content come soon on Cunard and we suspect it'll help you decide if Cunard is for you. We were surprised! Linzi and Mark

@@LowVisionUKTerrysView you've nothing to apologise for Terry. We always enjoy reading your comments and thank you for taking the time to leave them. Hopefully you'll enjoy the upcoming videos too. Linzi and Mark
Really enjoying your videos on Cunard and the Queen Elizabeth...Would you highly recommend a drink package if you are on a long Panama cruise with a handful of stops. Lots of cruise sea time does that equal a lot of Booze time....only so much trivia you can play ....did you love love the food??? And then love it with the drinks!!?? Cheers!!!
Hi David, we would (no surprise here) absolutely recommend the drinks package, and even more so when you have lots of sea days. And you can always play trivia and drink booze too :) we did, and we actually ended up winning the wipe out trivia (and ironically the prize was more booze) a couple of times. The food, if you have seen our Cunard Food review is amazing, and you absolutely MUST try Steakhouse at the Verandah, oh, just thinking about that glazed warm bread, mmmmm. Seriously though try it. But the food throughout is fantastic, and where ever you eat you are going to have a great experience, and of course, a cheeky cocktail or two with any meal always improves it too. Thanks for taking time to comment David, and of course for watching, have a lovely day, Linzi & Mark
Hello Linzi we are on Queen Elizabeth next month we don't buy a drink package I just don't drink enough to justify it but will take a bottle of wine each at embarkation.
Hi Diana, you are going to have such a great time on QE, and perfect way to start off 2024 too. You really do have to make sure you are going to get value for money on any drinks package, and Cunards isn't cheap, it's great, but not cheap. Taking a few bottles of wine though sounds like the perfect though. Have a lovely cruise, Linzi & Mark
Great video guys, I was in to minds over the drinks package as it seemed expensive but compared to what you don’t get on P&O the Cunard is great value. I’ve only just found your vlogs but now I’ve subscribed I won’t miss any 😎😎😎
Thanks Ray for watching and of course subscribing too. You are right, at first glance it does seem a.bit more expensive on Cunard than P&O but value for money wise, right now, Cunard is much better as far we personally found and we could pretty much have anything we fancied throughout with th exception of a couple of the special gala night cocktails. we will absolutely get the Cunard drinks package on our next Cunard cruise. Thanks again for watching and taking time to comment Ray. Have a lovely day. Linzi and Mark
I just booked on the Queen Victoria and I was trying to decide about this package because it seems incredibly expensive and you helped make up my mind. I think I will try it once because I’m usually kind of chintzy with myself ordering drinks with dinner and saw this so the package will make me order them if I feel like it and not worry about the price so much.
We are so pleased this has helped with deciding on the drinks package. Cunard's is one of the more expensive, but in many ways one of the best value as there is so much choice as part of it. We are on a cruise at the moment with P&O and didn't take the package even though it's much cheaper than Cunard's as you are so limited in choice in comparison. Have a fantastic cruise when you get on QV. Have a lovely day, Linzi and Mark
I think this is out-of-date now as I do believe you can get the package on a 4-nighter. Also, some champagnes are included up to the 13.50 dollars and it's not limited to Prosecco. I am willing to be corrected if I've got this wrong.
Thank you Phyllis, It could well be out of dates in bits as the cruise lines constantly change bits that are included and not. We will do an updated version when we go on Queen Anne later in the year.
Although....you did contradict yourself when narrating. You stated that the drinks package was "available on sailings of 4 nights or more... so in other words, sailings of 5 nights or more.." 🤔 4 nights, or more, includes sailings of 4 nights.... 👍🏻
I’m due to go on a cunard cruise in a week’s time (can’t wait). Just wondering about the drinks package - it’s up to $12 per drink, but is that the cost of the spirit and the mixer combined, or just the spirit? Just afraid to order a double and be charged for it as it would go over the limit
Hi Christopher, oh less than a week to go now. Have an amazing cruise. On the drinks package, if we recall they've increased the per drink to $13 now, but package is for the spirit + mixer. That will get you some double spirts, depending on your mixer, for instance if you are having a bourbon and a splash of coke, that will be under, but if you wanted a fancy Gin with a fancy tonic (as a double) that would take you over. The vast majority of cocktails were included, and we didn't pay for anything on our drinks package. Most of the cocktails have two or more spirits in them too, plus mixers. It will be purely if you are going for one of the examples above you might struggle to stay under although you can always get a single and mixer, and then a few minutes later another single, standalone spirit? Bit faffy, but it would work. Hope this helps, and as we said, have an amazing cruise. Linzi & Mark
Thanks Geoff. As far as we recall no, there is no champagne including within either the drinks package price or the wine packages either. There were some sparkling wines/Prosecco that fell into the drinks package limit but the rest was above it meaning you pay for it less a 20% discount.
Thank you Michael. And we did. You’ll see much more of it in the upcoming videos but it really surprised us how much we enjoyed Queen Elizabeth. Linzi and Mark
The choice of drinks looks vast but it does seem a bit pricey. I have sailed with Princess on their Princess Plus rate ex-Southampton and it was £35 per person per night higher fare basis. This included free wifi, gratuities and the alcoholic drinks package but they limit you to fifteen alcoholic drinks per day. $12 max individual drink limit and bottles of wine were discounted as not in the deal. This seems very good value. I have sailed with Cunard fifty eight years to date and think I will try Queen Anne next.
We agree on Princess Keith. It's privably the best value option on any cruise line right now. And yes Cunard is more but easy to get value for money as far as we were concerned. Thanks for watching and commenting Keith. Linzi & Mark
Thanks Amanda (sorry for late reply. Apparently RUclips felt your comment needed to be held for review. We've no idea why?) Sorry you had a bad cruise with them. As we've only had the one cruise so far we can't say whether our experience or yours is the norm? But having spoken to lots of seasoned Cunard sailors they tell us how much they love it. Maybe it was a one off bad one for you? But we know what a bad experience can do. We had that with NCL and it took an age to consider them again. The good thing is there is a lot of choice in cruising and something for everyone. Hope your next cruise/vacation is fantastic. Linzi & Mark
We don’t want to spoil the surprise in our upcoming Cunard Full Review on the 13th March too much. But yes we would/will cruise on Cunard again. Linzi & Mark
Looked like a lively crowd sitting behind you, did the crew do a 3:00 pulse check on everyone before dinner? Did you have fun on the ship, would you cruise on this line again? I look forward to your upcoming videos. Cheers
Ha ha ha. They may well have done. The ship was great, very different to other cruises we've done and you'll pick up more on that in the upcoming videos Steve. Linzi & Mark
Hi Mark and Linzi, My wife saw my previous comments and said I was a little harsh. I'm sure the other passengers were very nice and dispute what I saw, were very lively. There I go, happy wife, happy life. I'll try to keep my future comments more positive and less sarcastic (funny). Cheers, Steve
@@stevehattrick1946 don't worry at all Steve. We are from Yorkshire. We get sarcasm and we like funny :) and to be fair some passengers were not as lively as others. Some were far lively than us though (chairobics is not at easy as it looks) Linzi and Mark.
Hi Antonia, it isn't cheap, but for us, it proved good value, the drinks were fantastic, and we always got exactly what we want, and didn't have to think about the bill at the end of the cruise. And we love to think "We are on a cruise" and not have to worry about anything else. Linzi & Mark
We just about got our moneys worth when we sailed up to Norway last November on the Queen Mary 2 and we were trying hard.We probably won't bother in future.
That’s interesting. We are doing QM2 in August to the Fjords and not planning on take the package this time, just so we can properly compare a cruise where we took it against one we didn’t. When we did this on P&O we saved well over £400 so will be interesting to see how this works out. Linzi and Mark
We've always found the wine choice to be great on the package and not limited to just a few different types like some other cruise lines but dozens to choose from including sparkling wines too. If you do want to buy a bottle you get a discount off it but that is something we only did once.
Hi Andy, officially 15 alcoholic drinks per day. No limit on non-alcoholic or speciality tea or coffee. Whilst 15 is the official limit we have heard (but not personally experienced as we have never drank enough in a day) them not actually enforcing it. Hope this helps. Linzi & Mark
We do occasionally talk at the same time, the nature of it being unscripted and conversational but we are a lot better now after 18 months of doing these than we were at the point we made this on Carol 😀 Linzi and Mar
It is Stephanie. It has just gone up to that price. They do very occasionally have special promotions and discount on it but not as often as other cruise lines. If you are on longer cruises the price does come down per day and if you are on 5 day or less the price goes up!
Good point DavRos! All the beers we could see were included within the package, we didn't see a single one that wasn't. We will make sure that we include this on future drinks package reviews. Have a lovely day, Linzi and Mark
Sorry it wasn't for you Mark. It was not meant to be a how it works video, but rather a review of whether we thought it was worth it. Having said that we will try and cover a bit more about how it works in future drinks package reviews. Linzi and Mark
Sorry if it wasn't clear what we thought on whether it was worth it. For us it absolutely was worth it, for others, we just tried to supply the information that you could make a decision on it. We are putting together a Drinks Package vs Pay As You Go Comparison at the moment, which will be up in a few weeks, following our recent QM2 cruise, hope that will be helpful. Have a lovely day, Linzi & Mark
Hi, thanks for getting in touch. Cunard, like many other cruise lines with Beverage packages, don’t allow you to buy the package for day at a time or even part of a cruise. They will only sell you the package for the full cruise duration so on you case it would be 7 nights x $69 per person. Hope this helps. Linzi and Mark
It makes it very hard to break even at $71 for most people Cath. We still like it for budgeting purposes and not thinking about the bill at the end but as you've seen on pay as you go comparison it worked out cheaper for us not having the package.
The ship is getting old and boring. Just came back from 16 days Cunard. It degraded a lot. food quality and quantity BAD. especially at the Lido. Super short handed. It is at the Carnival cruise style. No dance host, no queens room Hostess, no professional dancer exhibition, etc. will not recommend for this price ( we are diamond on Cunard, not a newbie)
That is a really interesting take from an experienced Cunard cruiser. Whilst we are experienced cruisers as a whole, we are still new to Cunard. Because we had no previous experienced of the Dance or Queens Room hosts, or professional dancer exhibitions, then we couldn't compare. The food, certainly on our trip was good throughout, as was the service. Lido was a bit average to be fair compared to more modern alternatives such as Celebrity or Virgin. We did notice that a bit of ship work needed some TLC, but other than that we can't say much, as unlike you, we have little Cunard experience from years gone by. Hopefully, there will be an improvement with Queen Anne in a few years, and maybe the other ships getting a bit of an overall? Maybe. Thanks for commenting, and have a lovely day. Linzi & Mark
SWEET - tough job trying every cocktail on Cunard tick - that about 5 decent cocktails a day - in nice London hotels cocktails can be easy 20 -30 pounds each now - are you given a card with credits how does it work -
Hi Tony. No credits on cards or anything. The package is attached to stateroom so anytime they scan your cabin card they can see the package. Linzi and Mark

Because we had no previous experienced of the Dance or Queens Room hosts, or professional dancer exhibitions, then we couldn't compare. The food, certainly on our trip was good throughout, as was the service. Lido was a bit average to be fair compared to more modern alternatives such as Celebrity or Virgin. We did notice that a bit of ship work needed some TLC, but other than that we can't say much, as unlike you, we have little Cunard experience from years gone by. Hopefully, there will be an improvement with Queen Anne in a few years, and maybe the other ships getting a bit of an overall? Maybe. Thanks for commenting, and have a lovely day. Linzi & Mark
SWEET - tough job trying every cocktail on Cunard tick - that about 5 decent cocktails a day - in nice London hotels cocktails can be easy 20 -30 pounds each now - are you given a card with credits how does it work -
Hi Tony. No credits on cards or anything. The package is attached to stateroom so anytime they scan your cabin card they can see the package.
