Princess Cruises offers a wide range of beverages, including refreshing cocktails and fine wines, to enhance your cruise experience. However, guests are prohibited from bringing any beverages onboard, except for eight free drinks: tap water, lemonade, iced tea, hot tea, brewed coffee, hot chocolate, milk, and fruit juice. Some of these drinks are only available on Princess Cruises.
Guests can choose between the Plus or Premier Drink Package, which offers a variety of beverages to cater to their preferences. They are also prohibited from bringing water, sodas, and other non-alcoholic beverages packaged in bottles. A small quantity of non-alcoholic beverages (e.g., sparkling water, sodas, juice, milk) packaged in cans or cartons may be brought on board.
On a Princess cruise, each passenger may bring one bottle of wine or champagne up to 750 ml per sailing. However, guests are also prohibited from bringing water, sodas, and other non-alcoholic beverages on board. The Classic Soda Package is USD 14.99 per day plus 18% service charge (totaling 17.69 per day) for all itineraries except Australia.
Guests are welcome to bring one bottle of wine or champagne onto the ship with them per person, as long as it is no bigger than 750ml.

📹 Princess Cruise Line Drink Packages Explained
Cruise Tips – Princess Cruise Line drink packages, what’s included and should you purchase one before your next cruise.
I don’t like the inconvenience of having to carry on soda. I would certainly be agreeable to purchasing a beverage package for my daily indulgence of 64+ ounces of Coke Zero etc. However, I don’t want to ask for them from a bar or a server. I don’t want to get them from room service. Can I simply carry on a 64 oz. empty Yeti or Rtic jug and have a bartender fill it up to take to my cabin if I’ve purchased the Plus Package which includes unlimited soda? This may seem like an unreasonable question but so is the Princess soda policy. There’s an easy solution; why can’t/won’t Princess install beverage stations like DCL or Royal Caribbean? I can’t understand this at all!! It’s just stupid!!! Call me nasty or insulting. I don’t want to wait in endless lines which naturally happen when cruising with 7,000 other passengers. That’s why I’m uninterested in RCL. However, why doesn’t Princess simply adopt a soda package policy?
The drink or premium package is not cost effective unless you are a very heavy drinker. Remember, deduct from your total costs cruise credit, in my case 130 each for my friend stand I with vacationstogo on a 16 nite cruise. Even including coffee drinks and soda, the average person will spend $30-40 per day.
Great info! Questions… We bought the Old Plus package back in last November, then they came out with the new Plus. If I want to pay the difference on embarkation day, can I use my on board credit to pay ? Another friend did not buy any package, can she use her on board credit to pay for gratuity and wifi and to purchase a couple of the specialty coffee ? Thanks!
No package will ever work for me because my wife does NOT drink alcohol. Obviously my kids will not drink (legally). Princess will charge full price regardless of those facts. I cannot drink enough to cover the difference (It would be a challenge that I might be willing to accept…but wife and kids will hate me for it). In the end, I will just buy the odd drink “on the go”.
