Does anyone remember the max price for most drinks and what brands of spirits are included in the package?

 

Celebrity posts a nice little list on their website so you know exactly what you are buying! I would love to see Princess' version of that!

 

Thank you!

I purchased the Cheers Package on my last Carnival cruise that sailed out of Galveston. We were not allowed to purchase the package on the first day because of Texas laws. I am sailing out of Bayport on the Caribbean Princess in 2016. I assume so, but will this still be the case or do they allow you to purchase and use it on the first day?

Thanks for the info but I believe the question was more on how much a drink cost. ie.. a gin and tonic a martini or a beer.

 

This should give you a guide. Not sure when it was done my Internet connection isn't that great so just found something close.

Princess drink package is cheaper than Celebrity so I wondered if they do no stock the very top shelf drinks .

 

Scotslizzy

 

I drink grey goose and my husband ketel one - both included. Ciroc was also included. Outside of a few champagne by the glass prices, I never went over the $10 a drink limit.

This thread has a great link to a spread sheet a wonderful CC member made up - it was helpful for me before we made the decision to buy or not. :)

Majority of drinks were under $10. Beers were mostly under $7, wine by the glass had a decent selection between $7-$9. Finished my meals with a nice Remy VSOP cognac for $8. Mixed drinks averaged $6 and martinis were $8-9. Etc

 

I found the selection and prices to be quite decent compared to Royal Caribbean. In fact, I was finding it increasingly difficult to reach my daily quota to break even because the prices were quite affordable. I managed though ;)

I have already pre purchased the drinks package but it doesn't show on my personalizer.

Should i be worried?

 

When you purchased it you paid by credit card? That is the way we did it and I printed out the receipt just in case. I never saw it show up on the personalizer either.

I just pre puchased some items and asked the Princess rep to email me a receipt. She did so no problem but from the way she replied I don't think that a receipt is automatically emailed - you do have to ask.

 

Maybe call Princess and ask for a receipt to be emailed to you. I'm going to print ours out and take them onboard with me just in case. :rolleyes:

hi all, apologies not sure if theres an intro section - my first post.

 

I am wondering if the ship (sun princess in this case) charges for soft drinks? my partner and I do not drink alcohol but we love diet cola and I can imagine he would drink a number of these per day.

 

I have searched all through these posts and can only find the '$50per day' drink package, rather than a few options?

 

any soft drink only options? or is it free at meals/from the bar?

 

please advise :)

 

thanks,

 

serene

Are the drink packages available on 2-day sailings?

 

I'm not seeing any terms and conditions which indicate restrictions on 2-day sailings, but NCL does...

 

I looked all over and all I found is that it must be purchased for the whole cruise.
