I believe the tips are included.

If you get the free princess premiere package in the sip and sale, do you have to pay gratuities on each drink you get?

Thank you. I didn't realize I had done a big no-no. Lesson learned for sure! I do appreciate your response very much.

The value of the Sip + Sail addition (including gratuity) for you is $68.99 * 24 = $1655.76

 

So if the naked fare is a greater savings your question has answered itself. Unless you believe your bar bill would be in excess of $1700 should you be given free reign over 15 alcoholic beverages per day plus unlimited sodas, juices, premium & specialty coffees, fresh brewed coffee & tea, and still bottled water without the PBP.

 

The drink price ceiling is $12. There are virtually none that exceed that price, including call brands, wine flights at Vines, and other venue-specific specials.

 

Perhaps reading over the Terms and Conditions of the Premium Beverage Package would help you decide if this no-better-than-break-even proposition is actually of interest:

...and please go back and edit out the name of the TA you put in post #3 else this thread will be deleted. A big no-no on here which is why the post before yours only supplied a "hint"

I can book my cruise through Princess with the sip and sail promo OR through a discount cruise company without. The cost difference is approx $1700. for a 12 day cruise to the Bristish Ilses, both premium balcony cabins , same deck. I wonder if the Sip and Sail is worth it. There are restrictions as to what drinks you can apply it to...like under $9.00 I think. What's the cost of a drink? For example a scotch? Wine? Rye? I don't want to pay more for the Sip and Sail promo and find I still have to pay for drinks!! Any thoughts? So, yes, we like to have drinks pre dinner and wine with dinner. Commentary appreciated!
