Does Princess offer any kind of unlimited package for the video arcade?

[happy cruzer]

Hi,  We bought an unlimited arcade package on NCL and it turned out to be a good deal.  Does Princess offer anything like unlimited play in the arcade?

 

Thanks.

I've only been on two Princess ships (Ruby and Emerald), and there was no arcade on them. They have a Teen Club that's filled with all different kinds of gaming consoles, but you must be registered for the Teen Club to go inside there. No adults!

What arcade?

[CruisinFinsUp]

Princess ships that I’ve been on do have a very small arcade room - usually located adjacent to the kids’ clubs.  

There is no package.  It is “swipe” your cruise card.   Not cheap! 

Did I mention its small?   

There are, as another poster mentioned, a few games in the kids club- air hockey, maybe something else in the teen lounge. 

In my kids’ experience, the kids club staff control the hours of the use of the games in the club - they don’t like to hear the banging of the air hockey all day!

Golden Princess shows a Video Arcade on Fiesta Deck (deck 6 ) next to the Future Cruise Sales - near Crown Grill. I don't know if any other Princes ship has this. I certainly haven't seen it before but Golden is a bit "different" than the other ships. It has 8 Premium Suites, 2 Owner's Suites, and 2 Premium Ocean View cabins all the way aft and way up high on Sun Deck (deck 15). Very different.

I've never seen an arcade on a Princess ship, but I've never taken the grandkids on Princess, and I've therefore never visited the kid areas.

Those cabins on Sun deck were added almost 10 years ago when the Crown Grill/CC desk/Future Cruise desk/Shore Excursion desk and window suites were added. As well as when they moved the casino.

On Emerald Princess the arcade was in the room I've marked in red.

I have seen arcades on Princess in the past, but whether or not one would want to use any of the devices there depends on your interest. Certainly no pinball machines.

 

I do not know if any arcades still exist on the ships which had them in the past.

Look at the pic I inserted in post #5 above. There is still an arcade on Golden Princess - at least according to the deck plan.

Thank you all for answering, it helps set expectations.  Hopefully,  we won't miss the package :).

Our family (us and 6 children) cruised on the Golden for 14 days last summer. If there is any type of video arcade, my kids did not find it, and I can attest that they looked everywhere.

All I know is what the deck plan shows on the Princess site. I've never sailed Golden but we will be doing so in May. I'll definitely be looking to see if the deck plan is at all accurate in this regard. It seems a very "odd" place for a video arcade.

Please post if you do find it. We are up in Alaska on the Golden again this summer, and it would be nice if they found it. I know in the end, they won't spend much time there (they much prefer the sports court) but still something for them to do. Thank you.
