Princess Cruises Drinks Packages

It’s very understandable to get a little lost when it comes to drinks and drinks packages on Princess. Have a look at this article for a in-depth guide to drinking on Princess Cruises

Princess Cruises Drink Packages

Premier Beverage Package – $59.99

The Premier Beverage Package on Princess includes unlimited premium beverages and snacks throughout the cruise. You can choose from three different beverage options; Champagne & Bubbly, Premium Wine Selection, and Signature Cocktails. This is an excellent option if you are looking to save money while enjoying your time onboard!

Deluxe Beverage Package -$69.99

The Deluxe Beverage Package on Princess includes all of the same benefits as the Premier Beverage Package but with one additional benefit. It also comes with two alcoholic beverages per day at no extra charge. If you’re not sure which package would be right for you then this may be a perfect choice.

Classic Beverage Package- $79.99

This is our most popular package because it offers everything that the other two do plus more. With this package, you get four alcoholic beverages each day at no extra cost.

Premier Coffee & Soda Package – $19.99

The Premier & Soda Package includes coffee and soda in addition to any alcohol purchased during the cruise. There are many varieties available including espresso, cappuccino, latte macchiato, mocha, hot chocolate, tea, lemonade, iced tea, water, juice, etc… You will receive these items free of charge every morning before breakfast service begins.

Deluxe Coffee & Soda Package –$29.99

If you love premium coffees and want even more than what we offer in the Premier Coffee & Soda Package then this might be the ideal package for you. In addition to the coffee and sodas offered in the Premier Coffee & Soda package, there are several specialty coffees such as lattes, espressos, cappuccinos, and more. These specialties are only served in certain locations so make sure to ask when booking your cruise.

 

How Much Is A Premium Drinks Package?

A premium package costs between $49-$89 depending on what type of package you purchase. These prices include taxes and gratuities. Is there anything else I need to know about drinking onboard?

Yes, there are some things you should keep in mind when choosing whether to buy a drinks package or pay for drinks yourself. First off, remember that you have access to complimentary bottled water 24 hours a day so don’t worry too much about running out of liquid refreshment. Also, make sure you bring plenty of cash with you since you won’t find ATMs onboard. Finally, always check how long the ship has been sailing before deciding whether or not to book a drinks package. Some ships sail longer than others and therefore offer fewer opportunities to enjoy their bars and restaurants.

The All-Inclusive Princess Plus fare

If you want to enjoy a truly luxurious experience without having to worry about spending too much money, then look into booking Princess Plus fares. They offer guests access to some amazing amenities such as complimentary food and wine, spa treatments, fitness classes, casino games, live entertainment, and so much more. All cruisers must book their own stateroom when they make their reservation. However, there are several ways to pay less than full price for your room. Here are just a few examples:

Booking online through Priceline.com allows you to search for discounted rates up until 24 hours prior to sailing.

 

How Much Is Princess Plus?

There are multiple types of Princess Plus Fares. The cheapest ones start around $1,000/person and go up to over $5,500/person. Prices vary based on cabin size, length of stay, number of people traveling together, and whether or not children are included.

 

Yes, you can always upgrade once you have booked your trip. You simply need to call customer support within 48 hours of making your initial payment. Once you reach them, ask how long it takes to process an upgrade request. Then, follow the instructions given to complete your changeover.

 

What does Princess Plus mean for my vacation?

When you choose Princess Plus, you gain access to exclusive perks like priority boarding, early check-ins, late checkout, unlimited shore excursions, special dining experiences, and even VIP treatment from staff members. If you decide to take advantage of one of those benefits, be sure to tell the agent when you book your trip. Otherwise, you may miss out on something important!

 

Is Princess Plus worth it?

It depends on which features you value most. Some passengers love the convenience of being able to skip lines while others prefer the freedom of choosing where they eat lunch instead of waiting in line with everyone else. It also comes down to personal preference.

Do you feel comfortable sharing everything that goes along with your cruise with other travelers? Or do you prefer to keep things private? There really isn’t any right answer because each person has different needs and preferences.

That’s why we recommend trying out Princess Plus at least once during your next cruise holiday. We think you’ll agree that it was well worth the extra cost.

Are there any hidden fees associated with Princess Plus?

No, there aren’t any additional charges beyond the regular rate listed above.

In fact, if you’re already paying full fare, then you don’t qualify for Princess Plus. So, what exactly makes this package unique? Well, let us count the ways…

Priority Boarding

When booking Princess Plus, you will receive guaranteed entry into all public areas onboard including elevators, lounges, restaurants, bars, pools, shows, etc., before anyone else. This means no standing in line for anything ever again!

Early Check-In & Late Checkout

– Your room key card will arrive as soon as possible after you’ve checked in so you won’t have to wait in line anymore either. And since you get to leave earlier than usual, you can spend more time exploring the ship without worrying about missing dinner reservations.

Unlimited Shore Excursions

With Princess Plus, you can visit every port of call on board the ship free of charge.

 

Can You Add On Princess Plus After Booking?

Certainly! Just contact the Customer Service team by phone or email 24/7 and they’ll help you make changes to your reservation. They’re available Monday through Friday between 9am – 5pm Pacific Time.

 

Is The Drink Package Worth It?

The drinks packages are a great way to save money on alcohol purchases onboard. But remember: You still need to pay for them separately. The good news is that you only pay for what you consume. For example, if you order two cocktails, you only pay $10 per cocktail. However, if you buy four bottles of wine, you would pay $40 plus taxes.

 

How Much Should I Tip?

Tipping etiquette varies depending on who serves you. Onboard crewmembers typically expect tips ranging anywhere from 15% to 20%. Cruise Line Staff usually ask for 10%, but some people like to give higher amounts. Tipping is not mandatory, however, so you shouldn’t feel obligated to tip unless you want to. Most cruisers choose to tip based on their experience with service providers.
