    Do I want to pull the trigger on this? I have no other ideas for what to do with myself over this time period and I really don’t want to end up sitting at home at my computer. I’ve never been on a P&O cruise but I have been on 2 cruises with the same itinerary, which is the South Pacific islands.

      I reckon yes - it looks like it would be an incredible thing to do. Who knows, it could be the start of a great tradition!

        All booked! Sorted out my work leave, travel insurance, etc. Now just to figure out which, if any, drinks packages I want and arrange transport to and from Sydney.

        I don’t really drink like I used to and for $99 a day I’m not sure I’ll get the use out of it. I do love to have a frozen pina colada on me at most times of the day on a cruise though…

        Tempted to just get the $25 one and pay for booze as I go… but I dunno

        drinks packages

          I’d do the $25 one - you can buy a few cocktails every day and still spend less, and you get coffee included, which for some reason is not in the $99 package. With the mocktails included I’m sure you can get a non-alcoholic pina colada to carry round and feel the part. For much less cost, less detriment to your health, and less likelihood of accidentally drinking too much to actuallly enjoy yourself.
