What if I prefer a canned soda instead of a fountain soft drink?
Our packages include fountain soft drinks. If you prefer a canned soda, we are happy to provide, if available, upon request which will count towards a guest's daily 15-drink limit for the Plus Package. For single soda orders, we are happy to provide canned sodas upon request at no cost.
What if I’m not of legal drinking age (21 years of age or older)?
Guests who are under the legal drinking age on board will receive the Zero-Alcohol Package. This package type will be assigned prior to sailing based on the age of the guest. When sailing from North America, the legal drinking age on Princess Cruises is 21. However, when sailing from Europe, Asia, South America, Australia and New Zealand, the legal drinking age is 18. When sailing from Japan, the legal drinking age is 20.
What if I don’t drink alcohol?
The value of the Princess Premier and Princess Plus Packages is a great deal even if you don’t drink alcohol. Both packages include zero-alcohol cocktails, fountain sodas, up to 12 bottles of sparkling or still water per day, specialty coffees & teas, frappes, and Red Bull energy drinks, with pre-paid 18% service charge included for these items. If you decide that you don’t want the Premier Beverage Package or Plus Beverage Package, no substitutions will be offered.
What is included in the Zero-Alcohol Package?
The Zero-Alcohol Package includes zero-alcohol cocktails, fountain sodas, specialty coffees and teas, frappes, and Red Bull energy drinks, all subject to availability on ship, with pre-paid 18% service charge included for these items. You also receive a 25% discount on one litre of still or sparkling bottled water. The Zero-Alcohol Package does not include mini-bar items, sodas ordered through room service or vending machine purchases.
How does the ship know that I have the Premier Beverage Package or Plus Beverage Package?
Our ships’ system recognises the package attached to a guest’s booking and notifies our crew at the time of each transaction. When a guest orders an included item, the crew will see the applicable package and enter an order according to the package inclusions in the system.
Can I choose which drinks count toward my daily limit of 15 drinks with Princess Plus?
Unfortunately, you can’t select which drinks count toward your daily limit with Princess Plus—the 15 included beverages are automatically tracked. However, you’re always welcome to purchase additional drinks beyond your limit if you’d like.
