Premier Drinks Package Question

I am certainly not pleased that Princess has decided not to include can soda in the PDP.  But I found that Princess has a very limited choice of can soda option.  No Caffeine Free Diet Coke/Pepsi.  I found when swapping the soda in the mini bar set up that there  were very limited options.

i suspect that Princess removed the cans from the package to reduce the probability of sharing.  Unintended consequences.  

Completely agree with you, considering the beer is sold in cans / glass bottles it makes no sense to me what so ever to no longer include canned soft drinks.

as you can currently bring on all the canned soda of any brand you want on board ... get back to me when you can do that for beer

I don't go on holiday to then be expected to rock up to check in with crates of soda.

Agreed. I will also limit the wine I cart onboard for my next cruise to these 2 .... 13 days .... will run out but maybe they'll let me bring 1 more on in Boston 🤞

I always buy the coffee pkg as that's my drink of choice but a glass of wine with dinner is nice

Well you always have Celebrity and RCCL to fall back on EH?

Yes and I'm glad i do. Didn't realise you were so defensive over Princess, open your eyes a little and stop being so deluded.

We were disappointed when the package stopped including cans.  Diet Coke is disgusting to us from a fountain gun.  The only way to make it palatable to us is to mix it with a premium rum.   I'm not sure they come out ahead

I love Princess. You seem deluded over cans of soda. Seems no matter what happens now your Princess cruise experience is soured beyond repair. Get out now while you can!  😎

regarding the PBP - on my little 3 day cruise out of PE/FLL in December, the PBP is no longer available ...

 

Is this the case on the west coast 3 day cruises ?

 

or just a normal 'Princess glitch/gremlin'?

 

the t&c still state not available on "2" days or less ( except Australia, of course )

It disappeared from my 3 day West Coast, too. I even had it in my cart prior to the changes to soda packages, etc. When I went in a few days ago to pay it stated it was no longer available. I need to make final payment soon and will call and ask if I can purchase over the phone or onboard - not sure why it isn't available as T&C suggest it should be....

I didn't realize Princess even offered a premium rum. Is this new? The (admittedly old) beverage package evaluator only lists the following offerings for rum:

 

 

Am I missing something here? I'd love to find that they offered Foursquare Rum.
