Drinks £2.60 for spirit and mixer. But the mixers are in large cans so will do at least 2 drinks. Beers are in large cans also. Did that trip last year - brilliant! Would be going again this year but flights from Manchester sold out quickly. (Maybe you got my seat!)

Hi we are going for a weeks cruise in june with our family( 9 of us) we are told we can buy a drinks package but that sounds expensive was wondering about the price of lager and bottles of wine are we allowed to take wine aboard at the various ports of call ?

Before I price, just want to say if you carry a bottle of wine or spirit on board say in between a couple of bottles of lemonade or coke and they spot the said alcohol they would keep the bottle till the last night, but, hey try it. I got away with it everytime, but there is always a first eh. do not remember being offered a drinks package, bottles of wine range from £9.95 to £12.95 they also do it by the 150ml glass or 250ml carafe. Lager range from £2.30 and £2.75 per pint. thats including beer. Get back if you need any more info. Have a great time.

Thanks for that info. What is the dress code like? Will there be a formal night? Did you also go on any trips and if so did you book on ship or wait until you docked?

Its all informal, you do not say what ports you are docking at if you care to tell me I can give more info on excursions. we do mostly ourselves. I have put a lot of photos on here if you go to search on the photos page and put in island escape you can view them.
