jtwind Posted February 3 #1 Share Posted February 3 Someone mentioned that you could buy small bottles for consumption, but I can't find info. (And I'm not talking about the duty free stuff that has to be held until the end of the cruise.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKid Posted February 3 #2 Share Posted February 3 I don't think so. They would rather sell you overpriced drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bourbon, gin, scotch, vodka and rum. Nothing top shelf and several misidentified. Log into your cruise on the website and select the beverages tab on top. Lots of wines as well.

I pay comparable prices for drink in bars on land. I don’t consider Princess drink prices excessive. If you want to drink cheap, I think the only option is staying at home. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lady Arwen Posted February 3 #6 Share Posted February 3 Before the packages were offered, we always pre-ordered bottles for our room. We think the prices are crazy inexpensive because we pay those prices at our local liquor store. With prices this low why do people try to smuggle liquor onboard? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are elite take the mini bar and exchange for the type of liquor you like 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You find the cost of the small bottles to be pretty much the normal price because you are in Canada. You are used to paying roughly twice what liquor costs in the US. The 375ml bottles on Princess are pretty much the price of 750ml bottles in the US. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcohol prices in Canada are exorbitant. (Wait til you see the price of real estate in most provinces. You have be a millionaire if you want to buy a house.) I didn’t realize that liquor was that inexpensive in the USA. Lucky you! Princess prices, even at the bars, seem completely in-line to us. Thanks for the info! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t drink beer and our departures are most always very early flights. For evening international flights we eat and drink in the airport lounge and alcohol is included. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we always have the plus package but I used to order a couple bottles of Bacardi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
