Rare sailawaybellaluna Posted January 31 #1 Share Posted January 31 I'm a relatively new Princess cruiser (only sailed with them once), and it seems a lot has changed since I did! I'm a bit confused and hoping someone could clarify: are coffee drinks such as flavored lattes, mochas, etc., included in the Princess Plus package? Would these qualify as free room service or Ocean Delivery with the Plus Package? Does anyone have a menu of the current Princess coffee drinks? Thank you!

Moondogy Posted January 31 #2 Share Posted January 31 I can say that yes they are part of the plus and premier packages. Don't know about delivery to cabin. Will follow so I'll know for next cruise 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avonlady6390 Posted January 31 #3 Share Posted January 31 Yes you can order them from the app if you have plus or Premier no extra charge for delivery if you're on standard to use the app for delivery there is a one time charge of 14.95 plus the specialty coffee charge. I don't have a menu but there is lattes, espresso, capicino, Americano and flavors to add to your coffee you can also add liquor such as Bailey and kaluha. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can customize any drink on the app too, with any milk you like, or any syrup. You order on the app to your room, or wherever delivery is available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, delivery is free with the Plus Cruise Package. And, as they're covered by the Plus beverage package, which is part of the Plus Cruise Package - no charge at all to order coffee drinks 24/7 or any alcoholic beverages (under the $15cap), water, etc. If you solely have the Plus beverage package, then the drink is covered, but the delivery is not...

Coolmama_1 Posted January 31 #7 Share Posted January 31 You definitely can order to the room. I had a bit of a learning curve when I ordered the first time. At that time, you could order on the TV. Somehow I ordered 5 coffees! 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Raider Posted January 31 #8 Share Posted January 31 Just of note, the coffees delivered to your room may come from an automatic machine and not from the barista. I ordered a cappuccino all the time in the past and it had a nice layer of frothed milk on top, the espresso was great. Now, they come very weak and the milk is completely mixed in .. more like a latte .. a very weak latte, at that. I honestly think it’s just half milk with regular coffee mixed in. Plus, they put it in a paper cup, which doesn’t help. I get it, though .. it’s hard now that ships are mostly all at full capacity. Anyway, while you can order them to room delivery for now charge with the packages, it’s so much better to go to the IC for a really good specialty coffee and in a ceramic mug. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand - what is the difference between the plus beverage & Plus Cruise package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malleykatt Posted January 31 #10 Share Posted January 31 Whilst on-board Sky last summer I ordered a latte via the app. Never again! When it arrived in the cabin 90 minutes later it was awful. I put through a crew chat and guest services were straight on the phone apologising. Ok I could have cancelled the order but wanted to see just how long it would take. From then we picked up from IC as we passed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beverage package alone, whether it be the plus or premier package, does not include delivery fees for room service or for using Ocean Now. The Plus and Premier ‘fare’ packages, or as noted, ‘cruise’ packages, include the respective beverage packages, crew appreciation (tips), WiFi, deliveries fees, some casual or specialty dining, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacMadame Posted January 31 #12 Share Posted January 31 The crazy thing is that the Plus beverage package costs more than the Plus fare, which includes the beverage package! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted January 31 #13 Share Posted January 31 For those (like me) who booked quite a while back when the Plus fare was still $50 per day the delivery is no longer included. It was included when I booked with the Plus fare but Princess changed the rules afterward. If you have booked with the "old" Plus that was $50 per day you no longer get room service, Ocean Now delivery, or free Medallion shipping. All of these were included when I booked but were taken away when Princess decided to raise the price of the Plus package. Thanks, Princess... ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victory2020 Posted January 31 #14 Share Posted January 31 OK, that's what I thought the difference was. I really don't understand why they offer just the drink package at a higher price than the combined package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When room service delivery fees and Ocean Now activation fees were added, it was August 2023, and Princess didn't change the price of the Plus or Premier Cruise Packages at all. The services were removed for everyone - and added to those who purchased/purchase going forward at the Plus/Premier 60/80 price. Anyone who'd purchased prior to that change at those prices were grandfathered in with the new changes. The actual price change was Dec 2022, when Princess added a host of items, including juice bar, exercise classes, desserts, medallion shipping, etc. You have the option to upgrade to the "new" packages (that have been out for more than a year) if you choose. Same as those who purchased back when it was $40..(and yes, still a very few of those left).. There was no price change for the packages when Princess reintroduced room service delivery fees, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get free shipping of the Medallion. I don't get "free" room service nor do I get Ocean Now delivery. I don't seem to have been grandfathered... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
