Beaver1975 Posted January 12, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Can someone tell me the average drink prices aboard Princess? I am looking for basic drinks such as Rum and Coke and wine by the glass. Also, how much gratuity are added to the drink price? I am trying to weigh the difference between buying the drink package and just buying drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes around 6 to 7 alcoholic drinks per day to break even, assuming you are drinking cocktails or mixed drinks. If you drink straight whiskey may 7 or 8 drinks/day. Beers are around $6. You would also be able to get most non-alcoholic beverages such as espresso drinks, soda and the like. All beverages, alcoholic and non-alcoholic have an automatic 15% gratuity added to the menu price. The Premium Beverage Package (PBP) price of $69/day includes the gratuity and nothing more is charged on a per drink basis. The PBP covers all drinks menu priced $12 and under. This is about 95% of all drinks on the ship. Some glasses of wine and some high end single malt whiskeys are priced over $12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macmax Posted January 13, 2019 #9 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Coors Light, Bud & Bud Light tall boys are $7.19 incl grats. Liquor prices will depend on brand used. Make sure that you stipulate the Well or Bar brand if you aren't picky or they will use a more expensive brand and you will be charged accordingly. Receipts were not provided unless asked for and bar menus were not on most bars......so watch your account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daydreamer16 Posted January 14, 2019 #13 Share Posted January 14, 2019 One thing that I don't see on the wine menu are the small bottles of sparking wine. I don't remember the brand but you could get two glasses out of it. Our last trip on Princess it was about $12, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memoak Posted January 14, 2019 #14 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Korbel is the sparkling wine brand - I don't recall the price but it has always fit within the package in years past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KALCJ1 Posted January 30, 2019 #17 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Question...are the package prices the same during the cruise as they are pre-cruise? Also - does Princess have the Coke Feestyle machines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qcruise Posted January 30, 2019 #19 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Honestly we find Princess per drink prices much better than say, RCI......our last Royal cruise they've raised their per drink prices to around $12 bucks to steer people to the drink package, which in our case worked. Our next cruise in a couple of weeks on the Ruby we will pay per drink as we bought some liquor to have in cabin which will offset our bar bill on board. Most drinks are around $8 dollars.......enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
