Strawberry field Posted February 29, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Hi Quick question from a newbie. Are the bars on board Britannia waiter serviced or do you order drinks from the bar. Also do they run up a bill for the evening and then settling up or is each individual round put on your cruise card. It matters not either way but just curious :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each drink / round of drinks your cruise card is swiped and you sign receipt for drinks and you keep a paper copy of drinks purchased.

Either way they still swipe your cruise card and give you a receipt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daiB Posted February 29, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I always sit up at the bar and the barman serves me. If you go and stand there you may be asked to take a seat and someone will attend to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majortom10 Posted February 29, 2016 #10 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Thanks for the tip Boycie I will make sure I get the correct one back :) Do not only make sure you get the right one back but if you are given the wrong card make sure the correct drinks have been added to your bill. It happened to us once and didnt think anymore of it just told waiter and he gave me back right card. When I checked my statement at a later time noticed I had been charged for a full round of drinks costing nearly £30 instead of the 2 coffees we had ordered. In true P&O style they made a big issue of it and made it very difficult to get the price of the drinks taken off our bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
