Yes, they do. It's not the greatest but it'll do in a pinch. My husband doesn't care as he'll use anything including bar soap.

On all our trips (with a package) we always hit the top amount of 15 drinks each day- each. You have to get your money's worth since it's already paid for. 🤪

A case of water is a little much to carry for us. At that point I'd consider buying it on the ship.

Even if the fire doors are closed, they're easy to open and if anyone says anything just tell them that the door was open when you went past. We've never had a problem. Parking off the premises is half the cost of parking near the ship, with a free shuttle included. Of course in involves another step in getting to your car but it's worth saving the money for us. We live in FL & are usually home by 11 AM. It beats paying $20 per day.

Many of the tables you wanted could have been reserved on the first day by others, thereby limiting the head waiter from reassigning one to you.

Not true in Ft Lauderdale. Every time we board we have numerous plastic bottles in our suitcases & breeze right through security.

I think we saw the same guy recently on the Enchanted. I saw him on Masters of Illusion on TV at home and he was still just as bad. I actually felt sorry for the guy during his performance on the ship.

That number was based upon a quote here on CC of how many people buy into the packages.

We've brought bottles to the DR, which we've received from a previous trip and never been charged. Most times we just carry a large glass from our room with a double pour and for us, it's sufficient.

Sorry, I don't really know. It's been a long time since we last ate there.

I can buy the Cruise Director's jokes and repeated meals but didn't they switch the guest comedians from one cruise to the next?

Just 20 % of the ship.

Don't forget you can bring your own wine an embarkation and refill it as needed at each port.

When we return to the DR at around 8:55 PM for coffee & desert it's never filled.

After they raise the drink prices it'll look like even a better value. LOL😁

We've found that only a couple of drinks is sufficient for our liking so why pay them $60 per day each for things we don't actually need. Wi-Fi we can live without since we get it for free on all our trips as soon as we dock. Like I said, people convince themselves that they "need" it.

Obviously I can't speak for other people but just sitting back & looking at what your money is buying will make people think twice about unnecessary spending. If you think it's a great deal then buy it. You must think that Princess is losing money if you order 10 drinks or more. 😄 I'll save that huge amount & apply it to my next cruise bringing what I need to enjoy my vacation.

We do likewise and if the fire doors are closed we just open them & drop our bags and go to lunch.

I think many people convince themselves that they need the package and justify the cost that way. After a few days off the ship (doing a tour) it becomes evident that the true cost just isn't worth it. If Wi-Fi isn't all that important to you and you don't consume 10 or more alcohol drinks a day plus numerous other drinks it's truly a waste of money.

We don't normally go to that DR since we always book a central cabin. If the DR on deck 5 were overly crowded it might be our second choice.

There is a very handy complete Princess .pdf file available out there but unfortunately it can't be mentioned here on Cruise Critic. It lists all of Princess's ships on an Excel type file along with each port and is fairly accurate. It also includes notations of some groups sailing on a particular sailing if applicable, Look around & it's quite easy to find.

This is especially true if you are flexible in your dining time. The earlier times are usually available on any ship.

Maybe you should try the buffet at times if the DR gets to monotonous.

I believe the DR on deck 6 aft has more windows.

Sometime they make you pay & sometimes not.
