Our last Princess cruise was March 2010 on the Grand. Our next cruise with Princess isn't until March 2024 on the Enchanted. We both have the Plus Beverage Package (first time). Is the type of BP coded on our SeaPass cards? Are we allowed to order drinks (alcohol) as soon as we board the ship? I'm assuming the BP is like with Celebrity's BP and you can order drinks anytime (?).

I'll have to ask my wife. 😂

For the PBP, the max per drink cost is $17.00. Any drink over the $17.00 max with the PBP you pay the difference of the drink plus 20% gratuity. We've got the Plus Beverage Package for our March 2024 Enchanted cruise.

For the CBP, the max per drink cost is $10.00. Any drink over the $10.00 max with the CBP you pay the difference of the drink plus 20% gratuity. We book our Celebrity cruises with the AI package. Cost varies. Length of cruise, stateroom type. Two types of AI packages. Both come with gratuities, and WI-Fi. One package is the Classic Beverage Package and the other is the Premium Beverage package.

No limit on any type of drink with either the Classic Beverage Package or the Premium Beverage Package.

Better deal if you get the All Included (AI) package. Comes with unlimited Classic Beverage Package (CBP), gratuities and Wi-Fi. Very similar to Princess Plus and Premier packages.

No, thanks for the info.

We like the auto gratuities with AI. Don't care who gets what. That's between Celebrity and their employees.

Not coffee drinkers or soda drinkers.

I get that and understand that and respect that. So it's 15 allotted alcoholic drinks and as much water as you can drink per day.? First I've heard any of this. I guess I'm use to Celebrity. Doesn't matter as I'm old and know my own limits. Just don't need to justify it. Just not receptive of @Teechur questioning what I consider ridiculous and reasonable.

Way too much time on your hands. 🙃

None of your business. Who said anything about all alcohol drinks? Don't assume based on your tolerance and bad behavior when you drink. I stand by my post.

A sharpie and a piece of masking tape would have corrected the vaping sign.

I didn't realize this and IMO, it's ridiculous that Princess puts a cap on the number of drinks!

I've never been pressured or even asked to tip more, no matter the cruise line. Have I received the end of cruise don't forget the PCS, yes. Even on our Celebrity cruises.

Now that you've told us, have you told Celebrity? lhodges@rccl.com executiveoffice@celebrity.com

A big fat zero with a negative follow-up comment.

Celebrity may have to start a ***** account to pay for the revolution if their test program fails by allowing vaping in the casinos to help generate lost revenue. Oooops. 😁

Agree. The burnt marijuana smell was less when I used a bong vs smoking it using Zig Zags or a pipe.

@Georgia_Peaches thanks for taking the time from your cruise to speak with M&R director.

United we stand, divided we fall.

Cruise with Princess. Their cigar lounge is called Churchills.

I wish I could disagree with you. I may be putting my Celebrity cheerleader pom poms away when it comes to no inside vaping anywhere, fleetwide. Random thought. I can see a lot of smokers taking up vaping while cruising with Celebrity.

Princess is fleetwide. Princess also has a cigar smoking lounge by the casino on their ships called Churchills. Flashback, Celebrity's Michaels Club. We've only taken 1 HAL cruise and that was in 2001. At that time part of the MDR had a smoking section toward the back.

Princess is another that still allows smoking/vaping in the casino.
