No all inclusive beverage/alcohol package on the Sea Princess

[Eaglemad]

Does anyone know why Princess will not be rolling out the all inclusive drinks package on the Sea Princess? My thoughts are it is because the ship sails out of Brisbane, Sydney and Perth and Aussies love to drink

 

I am cruising on the Sea Princess in June from Brisbane on my first ever cruise and would take up the all inclusive package if available

 

Thoughts appreciated

Welcome to Cruise Critic reggieredhot1967 :)

 

As far as I understand it, Princess has just started the all inclusive beverage/alcohol package, which they are rolling out across the fleet, so I would think it may take a little while before it starts here.

Probably because not many drinks on the australian ships are under $10

I feel your pain! We too would love a drinks package with Aussie princess! But we have taken our wallets elsewhere and cruising with another line that does ;)

 

They allow wine to be brought on board but that's about it.

Thanks for all replies and for welcoming me aboard Kiwi Cruiser. Most drinks over $10 on Aussie Princess, no wonder they are not keen to introduce the drinks package, the'll lose a load of money.

Looks like we won't be getting the package anytime soon.

Apparently Princess do observe what is posted on CC boards

 

I am surprised more Aussie and Kiwis are not bothered that we are missing out on, with the new drinks package being rolled out throught most of the Princess Fleet except the Australian/NZ based ships :confused:

 

Especially now all persons sharing a cabin do not have to purchase the package

Sailing on Sea Princess in July with a group of 12. We would love to get the all inclusive package. It seems like very bad business to treat Oz cruises different from rest of fleet, and a sure way to push people away. I wonder what Pam thinks!
