Another Ultimate drink package (sorry)

Wow! I've NEVER seen this. If I'm finding a lack of personnel I go directly to "Passenger Services" and ask to speak to the Hotel Manager. It's my cruise and I want to feel good about all the money that I've spent to be onboard. Service onboard is a HUGE part of my feeling good!

Obviously Princess is making a pretty penny off of the increases drink sales which is great, but it also means they need to staff for the added demand.

Because most people don't break even, Princess is making a lot of money. They just love seeing passengers over-pay. Just follow the money. :)

 

Different cruises have different "personalities" depending on the passengers onboard. At least that's been my experience. One cruise, you'll have a lot of drinkers, another you won't. The 3-5 day cruises are different because most of the staff hate the short cruises which are very stressful for them.
