RoperDK Posted July 10, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Haven't seen the answer to this one yet. My husband and I both have the beverage package. Can he go to a bar with both cards and get 2 drinks at one time? We have done that on other cruise lines. He likes to get us both drinks for the balcony while I am getting ready for dinner. Thanks for your time, Dawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moki'smommy Posted July 10, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I had no problem getting a soda for my daughter using her soda card. My daughter has a mobility problem and it is much easier for me to be the "go-fer." As long as he has 2 cards, there shouldn't be any problem getting 2 drinks.

lljost Posted July 10, 2016 #3 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Yes, you should have no problem doing this, especially if you go to a bartender that you have ordered drinks from before. It is nice to take drinks to your cabin to enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dforeigner Posted July 11, 2016 #7 Share Posted July 11, 2016 So glad to hear that Princess allows this. Dawn Did the same on board Celebrity. We both get the same drink package and I am the one that goes and gets the drinks, brings them back to the room and enjoy the view from the balcony. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsanTom Posted July 12, 2016 #8 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I have not sailed on Princess for 15 years. Does Princess offer drink cards or discounted drink packages on board? How about wine packages? I am Platinum level, 2 cruise days short of Elite. Does that give me any discounts on the drink packages? Does my wife need a package, if I buy one? Any info would be appreciated! Thanks!

Yes they offer drink packages, both alcoholic and non alcoholic. No discount for platinum or elite on the packages. You don't need to both buy it, but shouldn't share drinks.

floridalover5623 Posted July 12, 2016 #13 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Never experienced that. Two cards, two drinks, no worries. Still, in order to get two drinks to bring back to the cabin at one time it requires two people to be present at the time when ordering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCruisers Posted July 12, 2016 #17 Share Posted July 12, 2016 My husband takes my card (with the sticker) and gets drinks for both of us. No Problem! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellybeth Posted July 12, 2016 #18 Share Posted July 12, 2016 We've never had a problem getting two drinks with two cards, on AIBP. Our last cruise was a bit of a booze cruise where 'everyone' had AIBP and people were coming to the bar with several cards at a time and ordering 'rounds' of drinks.

JetCruister Posted July 12, 2016 #19 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I do it all the time and have never had a problem. I have even been able to get a water and a cocktail at the same time. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reedprincess Posted July 12, 2016 #21 Share Posted July 12, 2016 It really sounds as though things have changed quite a bit. :) Changed from what? We've had the package on every sailing we've taken since they were first introduced in Dec 2013 on Star, and have been able to do the above with no problems. Two cards, two drinks. One card, one drink unless you pay for the second drink. Especially after a day or two as bartenders get to know you and your companions.. Has it been different for you? If so, that's a bummer. Now you know. And as you can see, lots of folks wirh similar experiences here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I never brought the second card with me to show proof. As they got to know us it was no problem. So then, no change at all. We've had the drink package since inception, including the trial weeks on Star, and have never had a problem getting two drinks when bringing two cards with us. Getting two drinks with one card, without paying for the second drink - yes, that can and should be a problem. But OP asked about hubby taking two cards to bar, both having drink sticker and getting two drinks - not a problem, as numerous posters concurred with here..
