Princess Adds Unlimited Drinks & Dining to Premier Package

Starting in September (October for Coral Princess), Princess Cruises’ Premier Package will now include unlimited beverages (of drinks up to $20) and unlimited specialty dining. The pricing for the enhanced package will be $90 per person, per day.

The unlimited specialty dining piece of Princess Premier will apply to: Crown Grill, Sabatini’s, The Catch by Rudi, Makoto Ocean, Umai Teppanyaki, and Butcher’s Block by Dario Cecchini. The package also includes unlimited prix fixe meals at any of the specialty casual dining venues.

“With the Princess Premier Package, we’re delivering the absolute greatest value in travel and making all-inclusive cruising super easy,” said John Padgett, president of Princess Cruises. “The most comprehensive package in cruise for an unmatched $90 a day ensures our guests can enjoy their vacation experience without any limitations.”

The enhanced Premier Package is on sale today (Aug. 15) for Princess voyages departing from North America, and tomorrow (Aug. 16) for voyages departing from all other destinations, with the first ship set to get the enhanced package on Aug. 31. Not all ships will get the enhanced package at the same time.

The timeline is as follows:

• Enchanted Princess, Aug. 31

The upgrade to the package follows on the heels of Princess upping the Wi-Fi for both Princess Plus and Princess Premier package holders to MedallionNet Max.
