Hi Kathy!!!

Like you I'll be on the Ruby shortly and I was very confused until I did my research. I've only cruised RCCL previously and anything special cost extra. The beauty of Princess is that everything except the two specialty dinner restaurants (Crown Grill and Sabatini's) are included in your fare. (A small charge for gelato also at International Cafe and any "special" drinks including coffee)

I have traditional dining and we're in Boticelli dining room, so the other two will probably be for anytime dining.

As for the Coke zero, I have no clue. They will have diet, but you can always bring your own and stash it in your mini fridge.

Huge thank you for the effort this took.

I am on my first Princess Cruise in a month (Dec 14th) and the first ever cruise for my BF and this has helped us figure out what types of food is offered. I am somewhat of a foodie and with the holiday season upon us I was worried we wouldnt get any holiday type treats, but I do see them pop up here and there.

Anyone have the sample menus from the 4 day getaway cruises from Ft. Lauderdale?

Has anyone ever ordered the alcohol packages available on Princess?

I was thinking of doing this so we can enjoy our pre-dinner drinks in our room instead of purchasing on board.

Also is the coffee package worth it? I hear awful things about the Concentrated Coffee available on board.

Thanks in Advance!
