goofy559 Posted May 5, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Hi - hadn't seen this posted previously. The AI bar package is now available for pre-order - Item #0525 $56.35 per person/per day. Here is the link: http://www.princess.com/learn/onboard/gifts_services/cellars_culinarydelights/princess_cellars/index.jsp Apologies if this has been previously reported. :o Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissa Posted May 5, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I am going on the Golden next month and thought the package was available but the pre-order says the package is not available. I am wondering if it's just not available for pre-order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toberman Posted May 5, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 5, 2014 You do realize that everyone in the cabin has to purchase this plan?? IOWs - no sharing. That comes out to roughly $64pp (with 15% surcharge). $130 per day for booze.. seems like a lot ?? Maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickEk Posted May 5, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I am going on the Golden next month and thought the package was available but the pre-order says the package is not available. I am wondering if it's just not available for pre-order? I believe that the package is not available on Golden yet... maybe someone who has sailed recently can comment. You do realize that everyone in the cabin has to purchase this plan?? IOWs - no sharing. That comes out to roughly $64pp (with 15% surcharge). $130 per day for booze.. seems like a lot ?? Maybe not. That's not true. They changed the rules when the package was rolled out to the fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize they had changed the 'rules'. Makes it a 'little' less expensive for some!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

memoak Posted May 5, 2014 #7 Share Posted May 5, 2014 As far as I can tell the $56.35 per day is actually $49 per day plus 15% gratuity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smilz Posted May 5, 2014 #9 Share Posted May 5, 2014 What happened to the Gelato that everyone has been talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaCBear Posted May 6, 2014 #10 Share Posted May 6, 2014 But it's NOT just for alcohol. It's also bottles of water, specialty coffees and teas, sparkling water, etc - basically any drink available on board for which there is a charge less than $10.

bankman Posted May 6, 2014 #11 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Are there many drinks that cost more than $10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karena1 Posted May 6, 2014 #12 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Can anyone confirm they used the all inclusive package on Princess out at Princess Cays? I plan to buy the package once we board the ship since we have a ton of OBC, but I won't buy it if I cannot use it at Princess Cays. Seems like it should since it is their island, like Royal does with their packages, but want to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feelin' Nauti' Posted May 6, 2014 #13 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Are there many drinks that cost more than $10? I am wondering that myself. Love martinis. Like to know if that's covered under the package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted May 6, 2014 #14 Share Posted May 6, 2014 What happened to the Gelato that everyone has been talking about? Nothing. On the Royal the items in the gelato shop will be included in this package. On the other ships that have gelato at the International Cafe, it is not included.

BrandiGreg Posted May 6, 2014 #17 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Are there many drinks that cost more than $10? I checked out the current bar menu and most mixed drinks are 7.95. The only drinks over 10.00 are cognac type drinks. Anything made with rum, vodka, tequila, gin, etc are covered (we like Captains Bounty, Rum Punch, pina coladas, and bloody marys.) ALSO for us a big benefit will be the 40% off all wine and champagne. If you have a bottle of wine at each dinner, your savings on wine alone will pay for a big chunk of the card (and in our case, we will only get one card, since my spouse is the one who drinks, however I will share her bottle of wine at dinner, which is fine since it is not free). All specialty coffee drinks are included as well, plus dessert drinks like amaretto, lemoncello, etc. We looked at our average beverage consumption on board, and we will come out ahead. Some will not though. If you spend lots of time on the ship as we do, you obviously have more time to consume the beverages (and pass out more....LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogof1 Posted May 6, 2014 #20 Share Posted May 6, 2014 On 2015 sailings round trip from southampton the drinks package is included...( ok pay for it in prices!) to get all drinks under $10 in the package is good, includes soft ones, mock tails, cocktails coffees etc etc. we booked on Baltic cruise and instead of buying bottles of wine will use card to get wines with meal...unless we wish to have a special bottle sometime. I expect the price of the cruise will drop in July as the free drink package ends end of June...then we. Will work out wether to stay or re book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_W Posted May 7, 2014 #21 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Does anyone have a link to the various liquors served onboard? I'm particularly interested in their selection of Rye; Old Fashions, Manhattans, Brooklyns... just the usual suspects, but I've never developed a taste for bourbon.

kwahl1 Posted May 7, 2014 #22 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Nothing. On the Royal the items in the gelato shop will be included in this package. On the other ships that have gelato at the International Cafe, it is not included. TA is telling me that I must still purchase a coffee card for the cappacinos, espressos, lattes at the coffee place (International?) What's that card cost? This bar all-inclusive package would include coffee specialty drinks like Irish coffee, Kaluha n coffee, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandiGreg Posted May 7, 2014 #23 Share Posted May 7, 2014 TA is telling me that I must still purchase a coffee card for the cappacinos, espressos, lattes at the coffee place (International?) What's that card cost?This bar all-inclusive package would include coffee specialty drinks like Irish coffee, Kaluha n coffee, etc. The TA is wrong. It includes all drinks including specialty drinks like you mentioned. So soda card or coffee card would not be needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisecrazy25 Posted May 8, 2014 #24 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Is there a limit of how many drinks you can get in a day? When my friend went on carnival, they could only get 12 a day. Also, is the card separate or is it a sticker like the soda package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avcruz Posted May 8, 2014 #25 Share Posted May 8, 2014 .. The top-shelf martinis are about $7.95... A Grey Goose martini was $8.95 plus gratuity on the Pacific Princess last week. Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
