Very nice it is too, much nicer than the ice cream in Swirls. Well…it seems to depend. On our first week on Sky last year they were happy to dole out gelato by itself ( including flavoured varieties). Part way through the cruise this was refused. I went to cust services and they confirmed it was correct. After that it was a case of ‘a godfather but hold the sprinkles, sauce, cake, cream etc. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishing on a star Posted July 20 #27 Share Posted July 20 There is a $14.99, one time per cruise, fee to cover the room service when you don't have a package, correct... Ocean Now... Just want to avoid any confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have the plus or premier package there is no charge for calling room service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Grand Princess last year we had Plus but they charged for Gelato. Lame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Plus Package, you get two casual dining meals, but no specialty dining meals. 15 hours ago, darnheather said: I did when I signed up last year. Did they change the package rules? Specialty dining was not included last year. 2 Casual Dining with Plus and unlimited Casual Dining with Premier. If you got "included" Specialty Dining it must have been a perk from your TA.

I appreciate you asking because I also spent an unreasonable amount of time trying to find the same info for my upcoming cruise on Ruby while weighing Plus vs Premier package. Hopefully Boku comes back with their tips on how to find it on the official Princess site. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the royal they also would not give us free gelato even with premier, so we ordered the bigger free dessert with gelato . On the regal they would just give us three scoops of gelato with the premier package included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems there is some controversy over whether the gelato in Coffee and Cones is included or just the premium desserts. I guess I'll figure that out when I get on board.

Yep. Sadly, even the Vines menu is more food than we can eat. One prix fixe meal is plenty for the two of us. I don't look like I "eat small" but I really can't eat a whole lot of food at one sitting and don't have the desire to "train" myself to be able to do so. At one point years ago I weighed 290 lbs. Ugghhh...Today I'm annoyed that I weighed 226 lbs. (I actually hit 209 at one point last year and felt positively thin. I would love to "settle" around 215 but it's difficult to do so.)

No fee for items in the case,unless it’s the giant cake slices or gelato. And it was only through posting here that I finally understood about the Gastropub. Salty Dog gastro pub - pay or have a plus or premier package. Not to be confused by Salty Dog grill out on deck,complimentary. All locations vary by the ship.

Ocean Now... Just want to avoid any confusion. The one-time $14.99 fee is for ordering with Ocean Now (using the app) from your room or elsewhere on the ship. If you order room service by telephone, it is $5 each time you order. Both of these are included with Plus or Premier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arizonaperson Posted July 21 #44 Share Posted July 21 (edited) @darnheather Included in the plus package is: 1. wi-Fi =one device per Guest, ( this means 1 device connected at a time- can switch back in forth) 2. Beverages -wide selection of non-alcoholic soft drinks and special coffees, cocktails, wine and beer up to $15 each. 25% off bottles of wine..power shots from the unlimited juice bar. ( varies ship to ship) If the second person in the cabin is under the alcoholic drinking age, they will get the soda and more package or whatever they call it. 3. Crew appreciation is included , 2 casual meals per sailing,( selection of restaurants vary ship to ship) ,2 premium desserts per day, ocean now which is the delivery anywhere onboard -the fee is waived, room service delivery unlimited . 4.

No difference. Either Ocean Now (using the app) or room service (using the phone) is no charge, except for the drink cost in excess of $15 (Plus) or $20 (Premier). If you use the app, the drinks should be charged to the person using the app. If you use the phone, you should be able to tell them whom to charge the drinks to. This could make a difference if one of you reaches the 15 drink limit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just from a few experiences Was as curious about that, as well. Probably a better choice calling, when it is not close to mealtime. Don't know how my spelling of "alcoholic" was missed. I swear I was not drinking! 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
