Princess Cruise Drinks Package Explained - More Insider Analysis of Beverages

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides a detailed breakdown of the various beverage package options available through Princess Cruise Lines. The analysis begins by distinguishing between the six standard complimentary beverages and the four paid tiers: the classic soda package, the zero alcohol package, the Princess Plus package, and the Princess Premiere package. The video explains that while the Plus and Premiere options are included in larger cruise packages, they can also be purchased as standalone items. This distinction is important because the first two guests in a cabin are typically required to purchase these packages, which can impact the overall value if one guest does not consume alcohol. The creator details the specific inclusions for each tier, such as drink value thresholds, types of spirits, and available non-alcoholic options like smoothies or specialty coffees. Additionally, the video covers essential fine print, including the 15-drink daily limit for alcohol, the inability to share packages between guests, and the fact that packages cannot be prorated. Finally, the creator performs mathematical calculations to estimate how many drinks a passenger must consume daily to justify the cost of each specific package based on average drink prices.

Creator's Key Takeaways
Princess Cruise Line offers four beverage package options. Well, technically five because there is the standard option that all cruisers get and includes six basic beverages.
The plus beverage package is probably the most popular option available on Princess Cruise Lines.
The premier beverage package is basically the same as the plus, but includes beverages up to $20 in value.
A common question cruisers have is, is there a limit to the number of drinks that I can order on my beverage package?
