cruzn fun Posted January 31, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I see on the Princess web that you cannot pay difference if your drink is over $12. I'm wondering if anyone has only been charged the difference? Also if they do charge for entire beverage, I'm guessing it doesnt count towards my 15? Thank you 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have to pay for the entire drink. In that case it would not count against the 15. I have found very few that exceed the set amount.

Thrak Posted January 31, 2019 #3 Share Posted January 31, 2019 There are maybe TWO drinks (on most Princess ships) that are over the beverage package limit. If you are on one of the few Princess ships that have the "Whiskey Adventure" with the expanded beverage menu (in one venue only - on Emerald Princess it's in Wheelhouse for instance) then there will be a large number of items above the price ceiling but most Princess ships don't have that option. ALL "normal" drinks are included in the package. Seriously, don't worry about it. It is almost never an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one cab by the glass is over the limit😞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grburkart Posted January 31, 2019 #5 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I’m a doubles guy. That probably wont work either. My solution to that would be to tip generously and hope for a strong pour. Glenn 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzn fun Posted January 31, 2019 Author #6 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Thank you everyone. Most of my drinks are always in my plan except Veuve Champagne. I'm not even sure on my last 6 Princess cruises that I could get it by the glass but I now see it by glass on the Royal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My solution to that would be to tip generously and hope for a strong pour. Glenn Pouring a double is totally at the bartender's discretion. I had lots of doubles. Once the bartenders realized I wasn't going to share my drinks (day 2 of my cruises) they happily poured me doubles. I was drinking straight Scotch. My wife doesn't drink that. (She had the package too.) They had no issue at all pouring me doubles and, in fact, did so as the default. The bartenders aren't stupid. Yes, I got "charged" for two drinks but I didn't care. After all, I was having two drinks. This was the case on our 28 day cruise in October of 2017 and the 14 day cruise in March of 2018. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruiser_1977 Posted January 31, 2019 #9 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I used the search function "price list" and "drink menu" and NOTHING...Anyone have a current drink menu? I'd like to see if my regular cocktails are included...I'm on the Royal Princess in January 2020.... Champagne - Veuve Bourbon - Bulleit or Woodford Red Wine - Meomi, curious to what's available.... Vodka - Titos or Beldevere if it's a martini 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memoak Posted January 31, 2019 #10 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Bulleit is my go to Bourbon and it is included - I have 2-3 Manhattans with Bulleit before dinner most nights, I am pretty sure Veuve is not covered. Not sure about the Vodka's, my wife does Grey Goose martini's without any vermouth - so basically Goose up with a twist and it is covered 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Yoda Posted January 31, 2019 #11 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Vines 12/3/2018 Star Princess: I recall there being a lot more new wines by the glass over 12 than previously. Sorry I didn't get drink list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Silverado. I’ll bring bottles onboard I suppose. Much cheaper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedferg Posted November 18, 2019 #14 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I thought I had seen here on CC that Princess now allowed you to pay the difference for drinks over $12 on PBP. I also see Rombauer on Vines menu - is this same Vines menu fleet wide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also see Rombauer on Vines menu - is this same Vines menu fleet wide I have seen the same thing posted on CC. However, "The Premier Beverage Package Terms & Conditions 2019" posted on their website still says "Items selected that exceed the $12.00 USD or $16 .00 AUD price are charged at full menu price." Note that the "Terms & Conditions 2019" are linked to my bookings in Cruise Personalizer for 2020 and 2021, even though "Princess Cruises may modify, amend or update the terms and conditions of our beverage packages at any time with or without notice to guests. The terms and conditions as published on princess.com on the date of sailing will apply." So I really do not know what the terms and conditions will be for my currently booked cruises in 2020 or 2021. Although some people posted that they were only charged the difference, I would not count on it until I see it posted by Princess. In the meantime, the only way you can know for sure is buy a drink and look at your folio when you are onboard. If they charge you the full price, you won't get very far quoting the CC posts.

Tedferg Posted November 18, 2019 #16 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Thanks Navy Veteran, when I saw Rombauer Chardonnay for $15 on Vines Menu I thought immediately of a travelling companion. Our next cruise is Sep 2020 so there is time to get a correct answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
