So, we are 6 days into our cruise to Scandinavia and NOT buying the drinks package was the right decision. I did forget to mention that we had $200.00 on board spend and this is covering us at the moment for all our drinks as we don’t drink much at all; plus, we brought the 2 bottles of wine on board that you are allowed to do and some fresh orange juice so this is all working well. Regarding the WiFi, you are in port for 5 consecutive days with only 2 days at sea so if you don’t really need it 24/7, just use your own data as most of the major phone companies recognise Europe as a place where your data can be used without any consequences. So, all in all, it’s working fine for us but thanks to everyone for your constructive comments and feedback. As a side issue, we have really enjoyed the Princess cruising experience and would certainly book again in the future if a suitable itinerary were available.
