How Much Do Drinks Cost on a P&O Cruises Ship? Full Details, Including Menus.
If you’re planning to cruise with P&O Cruises, there’s a chance that you’re now thinking about how much to budget for your onboard spend. One of the most common places to spend money onboard any cruise ship is at any of the onboard bars.
Ordering a few beers in the afternoon, a mocktail in the early evening, a glass of wine with dinner, and a few more drinks in the evening can soon build up. For this reason, it’s incredibly important to put some thought into basic budgeting before you board your cruise ship.
In this post, I’m going to share with you the drinks menus that were available on my most recent P&O Cruises cruise. I’ll also offer you a ‘quick look’ at some of the venues onboard Azura, the ship I was cruising on, to give you a feel for what you can expect from your cruise. It’s worth mentioning that you’ll find mostly the same venues on the ships across the P&O Cruises fleet, with only a couple of exceptions. For this reason, the information that you’ll find in this post will apply to all of the ships in the fleet.
Even if your chosen ship has a slightly different name for the venue, the drinks and prices will remain the same fleet-wide!

Throughout this post, you’ll find the first page of each menu showing. If you click that image, or click the link directly above each image, the full menu will load on your device.
Let’s get started with our first venue: Brodie’s.
Brodie’s
Brodie’s is the British pub that you’ll find on Arvia, Azura, Britannia and Iona.
While the other ships don’t have a venue branded as ‘Brodie’s’, they do have a pub. For example, on Ventura you’re going to find a pub called ‘The Exchange’ and on Aurora you’ll find a pub-style venue called ‘Anderson’s Bar’.

Deck Bars
Want to enjoy a drink while you’re relaxing out on the open decks? Not a problem!
While you’re on your cruise, you’re probably going to have some times where you’d love nothing more than to relax out on the open decks with your favourite drink.
The good news is that this isn’t a problem at all - here are the options that you’ll have from the Deck Bars onboard.

Java
All of the P&O Cruises ships have an onboard Coffee Shop, like Java pictured here on Azura.
Every cruise ship in the fleet has an onboard coffee shop. Of course, you’re able to get free ‘drip coffee’ from the drinks stations up at the buffet, but if you’d like a handmade drink from the team of Barista’s, then this is where you’ll want to come.

Onboard Lounges
All of the P&O Cruises ships have multiple lounges onboard, and these share a communal menu.
This is probably the section of this post that will be most relevant to most people.
Across all of the ships from P&O Cruises (and any cruise line, for that matter), you’re going to find lots of lounges. These generally share a common menu - here’s the menus that apply to these spaces.

Cocktail Bars
Most of the onboard bars will share the same menu (see above), but there’s also a separate cocktail menu. You’ll find that this will apply in the more ‘bespoke’ cocktail bar-style venues on the ship.
Each of the ships in the P&O Cruises fleet will operate more bespoke drinking venues, which have a separate cocktail menu to the other bars onboard.
You’re able to visit these bars to order a drink to take away with you. During my cruise, I actually did this several times, as one of the bars onboard (the Blue Bar on Azura) offered a few drinks that you weren’t able to order anywhere else onboard - worth remembering!
It’s for this reason that I always recommend that people don’t just stick to the first bar that they try and like - move around the ship, and see what you think of the other spaces!

Restaurant Wine Lists
Want to order some wine to enjoy with your evening meal? You’ll want to check out the restaurant wine list!
Thinking about ordering a drink to go with your dinner? Well, the dining rooms onboard operate with their own wine lists, much like what you’d expect from a restaurant ‘on land’.
Don’t worry - it’s not confusing - here’s the available menu below! To load the drinks menu for the Main Dining Rooms onboard a P&O Cruises ship, click here, or click the image below.
Sindhu Bar
Sindhu’s not just an Indian restaurant. There’s also a bar space here, too!
When people hear the name ‘Sindhu’, they jump straight to the fact it’s an Indian restaurant. It’s often overlooked that Sindhu has a large bar space on multiple of the P&O Cruises ships, making it a great venue to start your night before moving through for your evening meal.
This venue operates with a slightly different menu to the others onboard. Don’t worry - it’s not massively different, but there is a selection here that you can order that you won’t find elsewhere on the ship.
Here’s the menu for Sindhu Bar!

The Glass House
The Glass House is one of my favourite venues onboard a P&O Cruises ship.
The Glass House is the wine and tapas bar that you’ll find onboard P&O Cruises ships. This venue is, at the point of writing this post, available on Arvia, Aurora, Azura, Britannia, Iona and Ventura - that’s right, almost the entire fleet!
In here, there’s a standard drinks menu and also a bespoke wine menu. Here’s both of them below for you to have a look through! To load the drinks menu for The Glass House onboard a P&O Cruises ship, click here, or click the image below.

The Beach House
Thinking about dining at the Beach House while you’re cruising? They have their own drinks menu available!
If you’re planning to cruise at the Beach House, it’s worth taking a look at their drinks menu.
I really liked the drinks available in here - I can already picture myself taking a Caribbean cruise at some point, and sipping one of these cocktails after my dinner at the Beach House!

The Epicurean
Fancy some fine dining? You’ll want to check out the Epicurean!
The Epicurean is the fine dining restaurant that you’ll find on five of the P&O Cruises ships: Azura, Britannia, Iona, Ventura and Arvia.
Here’s the drinks menu that applies to this venue - you can load it by clicking here, or the image below.
Amber Lounge
If you’re cruising onboard Arvia, you’re going to be cruising on the only ship in the fleet to feature ‘Amber Lounge’, a speciality bar venue onboard just that ship. To load the Amber Lounge menu, click here!
Room Service!
It’s time to look at the final drinks menu of this post today: room service.
Sometimes it’s nice to order a drink to your cabin, to simply relax in the peace and quiet, isn’t it? If you’re fortunate enough to have booked a balcony cabin for your cruise, perhaps you could order a drink to sit outside and watch the ship sailing out of port?
Here’s the Room Service drinks menu - it’s only one page long, so no need to ‘click to open’ this one like the others.
So that’s all of the drinks menus that were available on my most recent cruise with P&O Cruises.
