NextStopNRT Posted February 29, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 29, 2016 We are considering purchasing the beverage package on our Princess cruise in April. I know that all drinks, water, and specialty coffees are included $10 and under. There is an excellent list of prices posted on this forum. My question is if we decide to purchase a drink or other beverage that is over $10, do we pay only the difference over the $10 mark or the full amount? Does anyone know. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memoak Posted February 29, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 29, 2016 You would pay full price - however unless you are talking about really high end drinks or wines most fall under $10 (most martinis were $8.95 in December). I am a Manhattan drinker and all I asked was what whiskeys I could have. Most all of the decent bourbons were within the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NextStopNRT Posted February 29, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Yes I decided to call Princess directly as it is still business hours and that's exactly what I was told. Also besides full amount, you also have to pay the 15% gratuity. I drink vodka martinis and bourbons myself and the representative quoted me prices below $10 for the call brands I like best.

OCruisers Posted February 29, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 29, 2016 You pay the full price (not the difference) BUT there are very very few that are over $10. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted February 29, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 29, 2016 You will struggle to find much over the $10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUT2407 Posted February 29, 2016 #8 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Is the drink package worth it? Welcome to CC. Depends what, and how much of it, you drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterty Posted February 29, 2016 #9 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Is the drink package worth it? It is well worth it for my DW. It is no way worth it for me. It is all relative to what and how much you drink combined with how much time you spend away from the ship throughout your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser113 Posted March 1, 2016 #10 Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) As most have previously posted you will pay full price with gratuity on all drinks $10.01 and over............there are very few drinks over $10 and you can purchase bottles of wine less than $100 for a 40% discount Edited March 1, 2016 by cruiser113 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted March 1, 2016 #11 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Is the drink package worth it? Everyone is different. When we have had it there is no way we could consume enough to justify the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
