[Ozwoody]

Hi Does anyone have copies of current 2022 Princess drink menu's?
Be interested what the current prices of bottles of wine, coffee cards, coffee menus, mocktails, beers, etc.

Helps plan for costs on board.

No-one will be able to get those until the first cruises start here as our drinks menus are in AUD, don't have gratuities added to the listed price, and often differ slightly to the US ones especially the wine lists.

This thread has most of the drinks lists from 2019. I actually don't expect the prices will change by much. Even if they do the 2019 prices will give you a starting point for your planning.

True, dam jumping the gun.

Thanks

Great thanks for that info.

Just trying to confirm my budget estimates.

Like to ensure no nasty surprises in major changes since 2018.

Always budget on the high side. There might be one night where you want two glasses of wine with dinner instead of one, or a more expensive bottle of wine than normal. Even though we have the Plus package on all the cruises we have booked I always allow for the occasion bottle purchase (at 25% discount) as there are a couple of wines we're quite fond of that aren't available by the glass.

Thanks, yes that's why I'm trying to get on top of what's current now, to ensure my assumptions are in the right ball park.

 

By that way just been through your up load of drinks menu's for 2019.

That was some magnificent work on your behalf.🤩

must have taken a lot of your time, I'm sure everyone that reads it is extremely grateful.

I am, Thank you.

No worries. I had to wait until port stops to upload the photos as the free Platinum internet minutes weren't enough to do all that. As you can see the wine list is quite big these days, as is the Crooners drinks list.

 

I also found it really useful having the wine list photos on my phone, especially if we wanted to order more wine part way through a meal.

That was the down side of the old internet, it was only suitable for basic stuff. The new system will be a big improvement in that regard.

 

Good idea with the drinks menu on the phone, will pinch that one.😄

I actually started doing that on the cruise before, which was on Celebrity Solstice. You go a Classic drinks package as a perk but we upgraded to the Premium package. One our sommelier knew that he would only give us the Premium wine list but there were a couple of wines on the other list that we liked so I got ahold of it and took a photo.

Necessity is the genesis of all good inventions.😆

Overall, I would have guessed P&Os drinks increased around 15% at restart. I am expecting Princess $AU pricing will increase by about the same from 2019/20 pricing.

I hope there are still plenty of options for Plus Package drinks in the $16 and under price range.

I’m looking to pre-order the New Grounds Coffee Package, but it doesn’t appear where it should in the Cruise Personaliser under Onboard Services>Beverage Packages. All that appears are the two beverage packages, which I don’t want. According to the description of the coffee package below, it is available up to four days before the cruise. Anyone had success in finding where to order it?

Guests will NOT incur additional charges, nor be issued any credits or refunds for such currency variances.

[OzKiwiJJ]

You'll be able to buy it onboard. Just ask any waiter. If you want to prepay it then just buy some onboard credit instead.

I was on princess live chat line the other day and asked. I was told it was $35? even for the 3/4 day cruises and as it wasnt transferrable it would probably be cheaper to just buy individually.

[arxcards]

That it is missing from the pre-purchase packages hints that there could be a price jump.

 

You can also buy these at the coffee place when you are ordering your first coffee.

It was $36 for 15 coffees in 2019, which works out at $2.40 a coffee. Lattes were $3.50, or $4.50 for a large one. So you'd save after 11 regular lattes or 8 large lattes. Short blacks were $2.75 so you effectively had to use all the coffees to get value, however we never only got just the 15 coffees per package on that cruise, usually we got more, 18 to 23. 

 

You can share the coffee package since it operates on a count rather than daily usage.

Yes, thanks OzKiwiJJ, that is what we paid on the Ruby in Jan 2020 too. I was hoping we could order the package pre-cruise as we usually hit the IC as soon as we board for a relaxing cappuccino to start our cruise ☺️. I imagine waiters and others will be under the pump handling medallion queries etc 🤯 Like you, we usually go through more than one card; probably two on this seven day cruise ☕

Depends if I can do 15 in 3 days! Not that caffeine affects me lol

We have purchased the princess plus fare which says inclusive of drinks up to $16   does UP TO actually include those that are $16 or do we get capped at $15.99   I have been caught (I think on RCI) in the past so just checking
