Princess Plus vs Princess Premier: Which Should You Choose?
The biggest differences between Princess Plus and Princess Premier are the drinks allowance, dining and additional benefits. Plus covers many of the extras guests use every day, including drinks up to $15, four casual dining meals and Wi-Fi for one device.
Premier increases the drinks limit to $20 per drink with no daily drinks allowance, adds unlimited casual and speciality dining and provides Wi-Fi for four devices. You also receive selected theatre seating, professional photographs and a shore excursion credit, making it the more complete option if you expect to make use of those extras.
For many guests, the decision comes down to dining. If drinks, Wi-Fi and occasional casual dining are your priorities, Plus may provide everything you need. If you plan to dine regularly in speciality restaurants, Premier becomes considerably more attractive.
Booking Princess Plus or Premier
Princess Plus and Premier can be selected when you book or added before departure. The advertised UK prices are pre-cruise rates, and Princess currently requires packages to be purchased at least four days, or 96 hours, before departure to receive this pricing.
Packages can also be purchased on board at a higher rate. If you already have Princess Plus and decide you would prefer the additional benefits of Premier, you can upgrade before sailing or once on board, subject to Princess' current package terms.

Where Can You Use Your Princess Drinks Package?
Princess beverage packages can be used across onboard bars, lounges, restaurants and other venues offering drinks service, subject to each venue's menu and opening hours. They can also be used at Princess Cays when it forms part of your itinerary.
Plus covers included drinks priced up to $15 each, while Premier increases this to $20. Both packages include cocktails, wine by the glass, beer, spirits, fountain soft drinks, zero-alcohol cocktails and speciality coffees and teas, alongside selected bottled water.
Bars and Lounges on Princess Ships
A drinks package becomes even more rewarding when enjoyed across Princess Cruises’ many bars and lounges. Each venue has its own personality, offering the perfect backdrop for every mood and occasion. Sip a classic martini in the elegant Crooners Bar, enjoy live music with a cocktail in Vista Lounge, or raise a glass of Champagne at the sophisticated Bellini’s Bar.
For something more relaxed, unwind at Outrigger Bar overlooking the pool, or enjoy ocean views and a quiet coffee in the International Café. With so many stylish spaces to explore, Princess makes every drink an experience in itself. Whether you are celebrating with friends or enjoying a quiet moment at sea, your Plus or Premier package ensures the perfect drink is always to hand.
