Creator's Key Takeaways

I would highly recommend waiting until day two to purchase a package because you're not going to get the benefit of the pl or premiere on day one

word to the wise I hope they fix this soon but for right now order your package on day two of the sailing

they gave you a $25 onboard credit to make up for the inconvenience of sailing out of Galviston and your package not working

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Wait until day two to purchase a package to avoid paying for drinks on the first day
βœ“Bring a bottle of wine or two for sail away to avoid bar charges

YouTube Video Description↓

Please watch this video for some important information about how Princess Cruise Lines is handling the unique Texas laws regarding liquor (and apparently applying the restrictions to non-alcoholic beverages as well). We have been on the Regal Princess for a week now and I am sad to see that Princess is almost entirely ignorant of the actual regulations. I do understand that the Regal Princess has just arrived in the country, and this is her first sailing out of Texas, but the parent company Carnival is absolutely aware of the regulations and how to handle them. This video is not a commentary on the value of the packages, as I think they are 100% worth it for a week-long cruise. I just want to save you a couple hundred dollars on sail away.
