go noles Posted July 25, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I am very familiar with Celebrity's drink packages but this will be my first cruise back on Princess since they instituted them. I see the package is $49 per day plus tip and each drink has a $10 maximum. 1. If I purchase a $14 glass of wine, do I pay $14 or $4? 2. Can I purchase the package prior to sailing or do I purchase on the ship at one of the bars. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetz Posted July 25, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 25, 2014 With grads the total is 56 and change per day. You can reserve ahead. Your question about a glass of wine is a good one and I do not know the answer to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogof1 Posted July 25, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Your drink package only includes drinks to the value of $10 any more than that you will pay full price....that is my reading on the package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Working 2 Cruise Posted July 25, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 25, 2014 The package with gratuities is $56.35 per day. If you purchase a $14 glass of wine, you will pay $14, full price. I don't think Princess has the ability to deduct... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted July 25, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Keep in mind that most Princess drink prices are quite a bit less than Celebrity's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted July 25, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I agree I think the $14 glass will cost you $14. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted July 25, 2014 #7 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I agree I think the $14 glass will cost you $14. :eek: No. It will cost $14 plus 15% gratuity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdsqrl Posted July 26, 2014 #8 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Given that they've figured out a way to deduct the pre-paid cost on an over-the-limit bottle of wine when using the wine package, you'd think they could do the same with the drinks package. It's not that the $10 limit isn't generous; it is. It just would have been even more generous to have made accommodation for the times someone might want to splash out and order an $11 or $12 glass of wine.
