This package is unique to Princess Cruises and covers a Premier Beverage Package, Unlimited WiFi and gratuities. This package has historically been £30 per day but will increase to £40 per day in June 2022.

The Premier Beverage Package on Princess Cruises normally costs $59.99 plus an 18% service charge, which gives a total of $70.79 (approx £51). This package is comprehensive includes up to 15 drinks per 24 hours, does not include cruises with a duration of less than 2 days, and must be purchased for the complete cruise. The package can be purchased before embarkation, but is only sold on embarkation day on the ship.

Drinks included are all beer, spirits, wine by the glass and cocktails $12 or under. Small bottles of water, juices, sodas, red bull, milk shakes, speciality teas and coffees. If you do want large bottles of water or wine then 25% discount would apply. One exception is if you are dining at a speciality dining venue, then a large bottle of still or sparkling water is included in the package.

The package does not cover any drinks in retail shops onboard  or from the mini bar.

Princess really are leading the way when it comes to technology at sea. Their MedallionNet has proved to be the best at sea and we can confirm this. It has now been rolled out to all the ships in the fleet. If you purchase WiFi separately then it costs $9.99 per day which is approx £7 per day. There will be those that are thinking why on earth would you want WiFi at sea as holidays are all about disconnecting, however there may be some that like us like to stay connecting so we can share our experience! We have paid a lot more for WiFi with other cruise companies so for us the Princess Plus Package which includes WiFi is excellent value.

When we visited the Royal Princess we were blown away by the Ocean Medallion and the associated technology – for more information read our separate post here which describes all the functions of the Ocean Medallion.

Gratuities normally cost $14.50 per day (approx £10.50) which is automatically shared with the crew onboard. These gratuities can not be removed from the Princess Plus Package.

If you were going to buy the Premier Beverage Package, WiFi and pay gratuities then the total that you would pay would be just over $95 (appprox £65 our day) so paying £40 for the Princess Plus Package is a no brainer as you will be saving over £20 per day! The Premier Package could also work for you if you love speciality dining and pay for the professional photographs onboard.

However, if you are a passenger who does not drink alcohol and does not want WiFi then it is not good value, the best option for you would be to purchase a Coffee or Soda Package for $23.50 (£17.00). This covers all as described above in the Premier Beverage Package except for obviously alcohol.

We hope that this post has explained what Princess Plus includes and the new premier package so you now know whether these packages would be for you!

We first cruised on the Regal Princess in August 2021 and had the standard Princess Plus, it saved us so much money we also included it in our cruises on the Sky Princess and Enchanted Princess. We have yet felt the need to up grade to the Premier Package but if we do we will let you know!
