If a couple go onthe cruise one drinks and the other doesn’t can you get the drink package for one
Do they have Hahn light beer on tap or at all ?
When we went on, they had great Northern draft which they run out of on day two or three the next day they ran out of great Northern Cans Then they ran out of VB they also ran out of Sav blanc that the wife drank. all it was totally disgraceful It was like being on the ship with no beer. Heaps of passengers asked for refunds on their drink packages. It was that bad All my family and myself have been on heaps of P&O cruises and I would never go on another one ever anywhere The food was pub, food cheap cuts of meat and it was well below standard
What sort of 'prizes' can be won in mini games or activities please ?
Sorry Mafchief, I was not one to endulge in playing anything like that on the cruise but I heard no complaints and I heard people were looking forward for bingo.
Thank you very much.
Is the ice cream served in the Encounter restaurants gluten free?
I’m not too sure about gluten free ice cream. Sorry
I would like a list and prices of wine and beer on the pacific encounter
How much is a bottle of wine on the pacific encounter
Hi, it can depend just as it does in any wine bar/pub. We found prices to be pretty comparable to what you would pay in a bar/restaurant (we are in Adelaide). Range was not bad either.
Just having a look at the drinks menu and I dont see spirits like Canadian Club or Jack Daniels. Are these available? Also, so they have coke or just Pepsi?
They unfortunately don't have coke, I ordered Pepsi instead
We have purchased the drinks package it doesn’t mention this on our ticket. How do we access the drinks package
We had the same problem with our softdrink package so i used online chat to let them know. They sent me an email to confirm the package was showing their side, but said not to worry as it would show as a symbol on the front of our cruise cards they gave us when we checked in.
Hi I am trying to find out about drinking water on the Pacific Explorer, can you get free water at the bar or anywhere? or do you need to buy a drinks package?
Free water is always available at The Pantry, 24/7. We buy the 6 x 1.5l water bottles for when in the room. Water was provided at all restaurants when dining too.
Has anyone used walkie talkies to communicate with the kids while on board? Looking into it as an alternative to getting wifi... if so which ones and what issues did you have? also wondering if getting roaming on the phones (telstra) is troublesome or not. Thanks in advance.
Hi would anyone know how much a Jack Daniel’s and coke is to buy at a bar on the pacific explorer cruise ship Fremantle to Singapore
Hello I am looking at the $25 drink package including sodas, coffees and mocktails. Are you able to tell me if it is worth it? And what the mocktail drinks are worth it?
If you drink more than 2 mock tails and coffees a day it’s probably worth the money as you also get bottled water included too. BE AWARE, THEY CHARGE FOR EVERYTHING, THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY FREE, Biscuits, Cake, Pizza, Burgers, Icecream etc!
Don't go on P&O it's run by monkeys. Princess boat's are way better
Just don't go, honestly it's not worth it, P&O are utterly terrible.
Have you been on carnival?
Hello Tania, The cruise is a waste of time as the others have said. If you are going then the $25 package is worth it as the mocktails are definitely good. Also, the bottled sparkling water and coffee make it worth it. I had about 10 sparkling waters, 4 mocktails, and 3 coffees each day which paid for itself. Also, do not touch the water in the cabin - you will be charged for it. Just grab water from the bar each time you return to your room and keep it in the fridge - take it along when ashore and you do not need to buy water.
Thanks Warren, have you been on Carnival boats?
I know they serve gluten free meals but are they suitable for someone with Coeliac Disease .e.g. 100% GF with no chance of cross contamination? The kitchen needs to make sure they read all the ingredients in GF meals to ensure there is no hidden gluten i.e. thickeners etc. I have zero tolerance to gluten so I need to know I can safely eat on board a ship before I book.
Honestly I would never go on a P&O cruise again. As for the food, you will pretty surely get cross contamination as the crew don't give a toss. The food is awful, you are better off not eating at all.
Is there much variety for coeliacs on board. Also are there snacks available on board for coeliac. TIA.
There are gluten free options. Don't know about snacks, but there are meals.

If you are in the Pantry, look at the fridges under the tea/coffee dispensers, there are all sorts of milks there.
