Thanks for the balcony dining tip. Was just able to reserve for our cruise next month.

We are on the same sailing. We decided in Resort for a Day pass at Rose Hall Hilton. Unlimited food and drinks. Beach and pools. Lazy river and small slides from what I understand.

Heck yeah we do.

Thanks Colo.

Also - out of curiosity - if the beverage you would like is over $10 - can you just pay the difference? Or do you have to pay the full price? We've used the package once, but never did anything over $10.

For us, it has been worth every penny. We enjoy our wine with dinner, drinks by the pool during the day, and we love to try different wines (especially at Vines), Bellini's, martinis at Crooners, cocktails and whiskeys/bourbons that we would have never tried without the package. We get our bottled water, especially to take ashore on excursions, as well as coffee and specialty coffees. We get our money's worth for sure. We are cruising in March and have pre-paid our package already, and this will make a huge difference on our bill at the end of the cruise. We have certainly surpassed the price of two packages for us before it was available on our last Princess Sailing, with 2 soda packages, and our bar bill.

Very sad. Thoughts and prayers to the crew member's family.

Thanks for the input. We can't wait. We were looking forward to going into the ocean, but maybe not so much now. :(

We just booked resort for a day at Rose Hall Hilton.

I would tell a crew member. And I will next time......

On our last Royal cruise, a passenger had their baby in the pool with a swim diaper, and it failed, and no one said anything prior. There was poop floating from the infant and the pool had to be closed to be cleaned. Aggravating.

As for beer and cocktails, I can't see then enforcing this - I always sit on the flat portion with drink in hand. These certainly don't biologically contaminate the pool if spilled.

We've always used our Tervis tumblers (large ones) and rarely will they not fill directly. If they wouldn't I just ask for a large cup with Diet Coke and dump it in myself. Figure - they give out reusable tumblers for the soda package when you buy it and I've always seen they refill them, so one time we asked, and they did it without issue.

We did an upsell offer last month for the Regal $99 PP from Balcony to Mini Suite. :)

Good to hear. We're on the Regal in a month and are doing AT dining.....First time for us not to be assigned. I was worried about the wait. We typically eat earlier though.

Interested in doing this all inclusive when we stop in March. Has anyone done this? Reviews? Thanks.

No cash. Only on your cruise card. But you can deposit cash at the passenger services desk to offset this.

Docking n Montego Bay in March. Wanting to take the ship tour to Negril Margaritaville / Beach, Has anyone done this? Worth it?

Thanks for the review so far. We are sailing on her in March. We can't wait. We have sailed on the Royal.

We love this program. Have done it a few times and it makes for an awesome afternoon out and to check out the ship.

Yes.

Thanks! I thought when they first introduced the package all adults in the cabin had to get it. I may be thinking of another cruise line we sailed on.

With the all inclusive package can just one adult in the cabin get the package? I'm sailing in Alaska with my elderly mom and sister who doesn't drink in June and I'd like to get the package.

This staff deserved it, especially the group in Crooner's. No one knew they were getting extra tips until the last night. We were happy to be able to give a little extra. :D

We do this too. Last day/night at the places we hung at the most at. 😀

We're sailing on her in March. Did the BVE experience in October in NYC and loved her. Saiiled the Royal in 2014.

The new seat itch line is pretty drinkable actually especially on a hot day. Not uber craft, but way better than the offerings in the past. Commissioned by local craft breweries who make the beer for Princess. On an uber hot sea day on the pool deck Dos XX is passable for me.
