NewHere Posted August 19, 2010 #1 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I have generally cruised with RCCL, and just came off my first Freestyle on NCL-and I was surprised at all of the extra charges (pizza delivery, bowling, classes in the gym, etc). I expect to pay extra for alcoholic drinks, soda, spa, excursions,gambling, and a specialty restaurant if I choose (with an excellent main dining room if I choose not to eat at a speciality restaurant). So, I am now looking at booking on Pricess. What are there other charges (i.e. do I get 'nickel and dimed"?) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 HappyCruiser Posted August 19, 2010 #2 Share Posted August 19, 2010 It's pretty much the same as RCCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalconyGal Posted August 19, 2010 #3 Share Posted August 19, 2010 NCL is the worst for that, I felt like I couldn't get a decent meal unless I paid extra for it. There is a charge for a few gym classes, photos if you choose to buy them, the sanctuary if you choose to go there. Most of the "extras" are things that you may or may not choose to partake in. A few specialty items in the international café ( good coffee and gelato etc.). I've never felt nickeled and dimed on Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted August 19, 2010 #4 Share Posted August 19, 2010 There is a $3 service charge for delivering pizza but there's great pizza by the pool if you want some at no charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted August 19, 2010 #5 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Of the extras you list, Princess charges for pizza delivery, and some gym classes. I don't think there is a bowling alley on any Princess ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssbeagle Posted August 19, 2010 #6 Share Posted August 19, 2010 If you drink a lot of soda or want some really good coffee, I would recommend purchasing a soda or coffee card. Otherwise, the only extra charges are for bingo, gambling and photos and the specialty restaurants, basically the same as RCCL. If you are on a ship with the international cafe, you will pay extra for gelato and beverages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
