Could you tell me some more of the optional cost items? Specifically :

average cost of beer, spirits, wine around the ship.

Approximate cost of wine at Dinner (bottle if you know it)

Massage / Spa treatment costs

no hassal at all i've accually been overseas in jan and i had someone email me about the exact same things as u, i wasn't able to email them cause i had very limited internet access, so wht ever i type here i can just copy and paste and send off to tht person, so no probs,

i don't drink beer, so i don't no the cost, things like jim beam and coke, vodka and coke, were around $5, blue skys were $6.50, so were pena calanas, and others were rount the $5- $7, the most expensive drink was $13.50 that i ordered, which was bout 5 different vodkas and a nip of juice, this was discusting. didn't order any wine at dinner either so cant answer, also as a family u may want to no the price of softdrink, my cruise was a schoolies so softdrink was discounted, to $1.50 for a masive cup, on normal cruise they would probly be $2.5 - $3, *guessing).

massage and treatments, were averaged cost can't remember exactly, remember a deckside massage was around $20 for 20min, but also anouncemts are anounced on a regualar basis about specials.

also about photos, don't buy any anytill the last day, i spent $15.95 each on mine and on the last day of the cruise they discount all phots to only $9.95

also optional dinner option, u can eat at the outback bar and grill for an extra $15

pizza $7 each

ice cream - $3.5 to $4.50

internet access $15 for one hour

you said " the most expensive drink was $13.50 that i ordered, which was bout 5 different vodkas and a nip of juice, this was discusting" = made me laugh...

so $5 basic spirits and probably $2.50 - $3.00 soft drinks... thanks.

both Pacific Sun & Sky treat the pizza as a 'specialty restaurant' where people have to pay. On the other hand the Sapphire Princess offers a free poolside service for pizza, hotdogs, chips, hamburgers etc

Now are these restaurants big profit makers? why cant P&O include it in the cruise fare?
