----WHAT’S INCLUDED ON PRINCESS CRUISES----- 0:00 Introduction
-----EVERYTHING INCLUDED IN A PRINCESS CRUISES VACATION----- Your cruise fare on Princess covers the cost of your stateroom for the duration of the trip, including daily service by a stateroom attendant.
The type of cabin you choose will be the biggest factor when determining your total cruise costs. Additionally, guests can enjoy three meals a day included in the standard cruise fare on every Princess Cruises’ ship.
Like most cruise lines, Princess Cruises’ main dining rooms offer a multi-course rotational menu that changes nightly. With Dine My Way, guests have the flexibility to choose when and where they eat each evening of the cruise.
Princess Cruises also offers several more casual dining spots that are also included in your cruise fare. Some of these options include the International Café, Alfredo’s & Gigi’s Pizzerias for the best pizza at sea, grill favorites by the pool, and the World Fresh Marketplace buffet.
Further, there is always something to do on a Princess Cruises’ ship that will not cost anything. These complimentary activities include trivia, demonstrations, dance classes, lectures, and the signature Movies Under the Stars. There is also a gym, sports court, and a kid’s program.
There will also be signature entertainment in the main theater. From headliner acts to Broadway-style productions, you don’t want to miss out on these shows.
Of course, there is live music throughout the ship in the evenings as well as plenty of bars serving up your favorite cocktails. While the music is free, the drinks will cost extra.
Regardless of your interests, there is plenty to do, see, and eat while on your Princess Cruises’ vacation without paying anything extra.
However, there are also several upgraded experiences and add-ons that are not included in the cruise fare.
-----WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED ON PRINCESS CRUISES----- Cruise gratuities are services charges that are not included in the standard cruise fare, similar to a hotel resort fee. These additional fees are a per person, per day dollar amount that are charged to all guests across all stateroom categories.
Princess Cruises will transport you to several exciting ports of call. Unfortunately, shore excursions are not part of the cruise fare either.
Further, you will need to purchase an internet package if you want to stay in touch with family and friends, as WiFi is not part of the cruise fare.
While there are many dining venues covered in the cruise fare, Princess Cruises also offers up-charge dining venues. From the signature steakhouse Crown Grill to the Italian trattoria Sabatini’s and the French Bistro Sur La Mer, there are a variety of upscale dining options on Princess ships that will cost you extra money.
As you might expect, alcoholic beverages are not included in the standard Princess cruise fare either. Beverages like specialty coffees, soft drinks, bottled water, and energy drinks are all an additional fee too. If you plan to consume any of these beverages on a regular basis, you should consider purchasing a drink package.
Or, you could upgrade to the Princess Plus or Princess Premier pricing options when booking your cruise. These packages make your cruise more all-inclusive by adding in extra items like a drink package, WiFi, crew gratuities, and more.
