Ellipooh - Thank you! I appreciate your response. This is very helpful.

Thank you, I appreciate your response. So IC (International Cafe) is free? Free for everyone? No restrictions at all? What about Coffee and Cones? Also totally free for everyone? Where are the premium desserts served?

My husband and I are scheduled for the Ruby Princess in September. First time on Princess. We've only been on two other cruises, Norwegian and Celebrity. Both of those cruise ships had free dining or Specialty Dining. It was simple, you either paid or you didn't. Now there is this prix-fixe dining menu, Plus and Premier, which is just confusing to me. I think I'm finally getting it. But I'm confused on the International Cafe and Coffee and Cones. Are those included in Plus or not? I understand Premium can get unlimited desserts from Coffee and Cones, right? And what about people who don't have either Plus or Premium. Is anything "free" for those folks at these two places? Thanks for clarifying.
