lbfluffy Posted October 1, 2015 #1 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Does this package include bottled water? It doesn't say that it does under the description. The all inclusive beverage plan says it does, but I don't want to spend that much on a plan we won't use to our advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMorris Posted October 1, 2015 #3 Share Posted October 1, 2015 They are stopping the bringing on of beverages... was a huge article about it. No more bottled water or cases of sodas allowed... they caught on to the hiding booze in the bottles. You can buy cases of water onboard according to article I read...

I saw an article very similar to the one you mention however I believe it was for the Carnival Brand only. Was Princess apart of that conversation as well? It was a HUGE issue on the Carnival boards.

Hmmm.. now I am not 100% sure... have to go find that article... thought they said Carnival Corporation... not just CCL brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another reason I love the AIBP on Princess. Far better deal than the Cheers Package on Carnival. We used to "lug" a case of bottled water on board with us. Now, no need to do so.

Pam in CA Posted October 1, 2015 #7 Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Hmmm.. now I am not 100% sure... have to go find that article... thought they said Carnival Corporation... not just CCL brand.I seriously doubt it would have said "Carnival Corporation" as policies such as booze, beverage packages, etc. are completely separate by brand. Carnival Corporation recently announced that the WiFi capabilities for all of their brands were being updated... but that's hardware, not a policy. Each brand is managed separately.

riclop Posted October 2, 2015 #9 Share Posted October 2, 2015 It is not included and as far as cases of water that was Carnival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that was Carnival Cruise Lines. However, the current Princess "Cruise Answer Book" says the following "Liquor, spirits, beer, bottled water and canned or bottled soda are not permitted. Please remember that luggage will be scanned and alcohol or any beverages outside of our policy will be removed and discarded." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not in the Q&A on the Princess web site. Only mention of it is in the Cruise Answer Book. Thankfully that's not the wording in the Cruise Passage for my upcoming cruise. I contacted Princess about the Cruise Answer Book statement asking if that's a preview of pending changes. They said they'd get back to me with an answer however that's been over 2 weeks now without an answer. It should be a simple yes or no and to me their lack of an answer leads me to believe that the CAB is a preview of Princess having the same policy as Carnival that prohibits water & soda. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passengers can still each bring up to 12 cans of soda on board Carnival ships. Edited October 4, 2015 by caribill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsawyer Posted October 4, 2015 #22 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Will they make almost any drink as a moctail or do they have just special ones? Thinking about getting this package for my elderly mother. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks The easiest one for them to make is a martini....and empty glass with only an olive in it.....and a G&T is pretty simple, too:D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure....hard to replace the tequila and Cointreau/TripleSec favours without just making it a lime with salt drink....but no harm in asking.
