Ordering with plus package

[mamashamiller]

If both my husband and I have the drink package, do I have to be with him when he orders at the bar? Can he get 2 drinks?

Not usually a problem.  Just make friends with the bartender if it's an issue.

Not sure how much of your drinking will be of the alcoholic kind, but remember that the Plus Package has a cap of 15 alcoholic drinks in a 24 hour period.  He'll only be able to make 7 trips to the bar for alcoholic drinks in a day if the drinks are all charged on his tab, taking one drink for you every time.  The bar tender will mostly charge both drinks on your husband's package, unless some sort of rapport is established with the bartender beforehand.  Not a problem, then you can go get him drinks at the bar!

For soda’s I’ve usually been able to get two and just give them our cabin number (they can find both our accounts); for cocktails though, only one at a time.

Just have him take your medallion to the bar with him and I'm sure it won't be a problem.

Our last 2 cruises, they have had no problem with you ordering 2 alcoholic beverages at a time. I think this changed due to being able to do it on the medallion. On our California coastal last fall, every time we ordered a drink at one bar, the bartender always asked if we wanted a double! 😁

Whenever my friend and I ordered drinks, we would give them one of our medallions and switch every time we ordered a drink. However, the majority of the time they would ask for the cabin number and we automatically charged them to me. I guess because I am the male. If we were sitting at a bar together, the bartender would just alternate between us. 

 

I would prefer if they would charge each drink by person, but I'm assuming on Princess they are not typically catering to the clientele that reaches 15 a day, but we did several days of the trip. 🤣

You can get doubles but that counts as 2 drinks

Just give them the cabin number they can pull up your folios and charge one drink to each of your plan. We do this constantly in the casino

Has it ever happened that one of you reached more than 15 and the other less? What happens do they charge you or can you get them evened out between your 2 accounts?
