After long workdays filled with deadlines and constant expenses, vacation should mean one thing: complete relaxation. No calculations. No constant swiping of the card. That’s why we all love all-inclusive resorts.
Cruises can offer that same carefree feeling — especially when you add a package that covers beverages, Wi-Fi, specialty dining, and gratuities in advance. You pay upfront and simply enjoy the experience from embarkation to disembarkation.
🛥️ Every cruise line structures its packages differently, but in my professional opinion, Princess Cruises offers one of the most convenient and reasonably priced options.
Let’s break down what’s included and who each package is best for 👇
✨ Princess Plus
An excellent choice for guests who value comfort without overpaying.
Typically includes:
🍷 Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages (with price limits per drink)
☕ Specialty coffee and tea
📶 Wi-Fi (1 device per person)
💰 Crew gratuities
🏋️♀️ 1–2 fitness classes
🚚 OceanNow® delivery
💡 This package often pays for itself even with moderate beverage consumption and daily internet use.
👑 Princess Premier
The highest level of convenience and inclusions.
In addition to Plus, it includes:
🍾 Expanded beverage package (higher drink price limit)
📶 Wi-Fi for up to 4 devices per person
🍽 Specialty Dining dinners in alternative restaurants
📸 Photo package
🎭 Priority seating for shows
🎁 Additional perks and onboard credits
💎 A fantastic option for guests who want a true “all-inclusive” cruise experience with premium-level service.
Important: If There Are 3–4 Adults in the Cabin
✅ The 3rd and 4th guests are not required to purchase a package if the first two guests have already purchased Princess Plus or Princess Premier. The package does not automatically attach to them.
📌 This means:
• If there are more than two guests in the cabin, the 3rd and 4th guests may choose not to purchase a package and remain at the standard service level.
• If they would like a package, it must be added separately — and it must match the same package type (Plus or Premier).
📶 Special notes for 3rd/4th guests:
• With Princess Premier, certain benefits (such as Wi-Fi for up to 4 devices per guest, digital photo package, and reserved theater seating) may extend to everyone in the cabin even if the 3rd and 4th packages are not formally purchased.
• However, dining (Casual Dining / Specialty Dining) and beverages included in the package do not automatically extend to the 3rd or 4th guest without purchasing their own package.
🎯 How Do You Choose the Right Package?
It depends on:
-
The itinerary
-
Cruise length
-
Who is traveling
-
Your habits (wine at dinner? daily internet? specialty restaurants?)
I always prepare a personalized cost comparison for my clients — so the package truly makes financial sense, not just “sounds good.”
If you’re considering a cruise with Princess Cruises, message me directly. We’ll compare pricing with and without packages and select the option that fits your travel style perfectly.
Your vacation should be seamless and thoughtfully planned — especially when it’s a cruise. 🌊✨
