My wife and I both enjoy sparkling water with meals. Can you confirm the price of a large bottle of sparkling water at one of the restaurants (or pool if available.) I assume that the waiters would allow 2 people to share a bottle if "purchased" with the AIBP.

We have purchased the AIBP on both Princess and Celebrity and for us it worked out to be worthwhile. We both enjoy a drink but rarely have anything alcoholic before the evening. So with the beverage package we did have the odd light beer with lunch or a mojito by the pool but the main difference for us was that we had espresso coffees a couple of times a day, a few diet cokes, bottle water, fresh juice at breakfast. In fact what we would not have spent the money on normally, we enjoyed because we had the beverage package.

 

Yes I know, you can say it is false economy because without the package you wouldn't have had those items so therefore wouldn't have spent the money, but what I like about it is that you don't even question whether you should spend that extra couple of dollars on the juice or the coke or whatever. You have paid up front so you can do what you like and one of the great things about cruising is that, pretty much, it is about doing whatever you like.

We sail on the Regal (first cruise on Princess) on Jan 3. Looking forward to following your adventures, keep 'em coming!

Will you be posting the wines that you plan to bring aboard (in other words, a recommendation list for our Total Wine splurge.) We're on the Jan 3 Regal.

Thanks for doing this - are you from the Pittsburgh area BTW?

We, DW and I, prefer The Crown Grill on the first night, free for our PH Suite, and Sabatini's for Breakfast every morning. All other times for Evenings is Anytime Dinning as we like to mingle with all. Lunch is on a Private Excursion as most if not all of the ship's excursions do not include a lunch break.

Is there a charge for Sabatini's breakfast?
