The official Cunard website no longer lists any limits on bringing booze on board to consume in ones room:

That's a very pleasant (surprisingly so) change.
In such a case, I'd take what you want/willing to haul onboard, at least a bottle of wine for each meal. You'll have much better wine for meals and it'll be a lot cheaper than the drinks package.
Case in point. Was on a sister line of Cunard and stopped in Montalcino for a night en route to the modern port for Rome. Bought a bottle of Brunello of Banfi. Net cost to me including the corkage charge was something like US$47. By coincidence, the ship had the same vintage. Price was USD120 + 15-18% SC.
