Insider Tips

Things seasoned cruisers wish they knew

Wi-Fi

WiFi is per device, not per person. Speeds vary widely by ship and location. Streaming works but don't expect 4K. The base MedallionNet plan (without Plus/Premier) has slower speeds.

All Drinks

The Plus Beverage Package has a 15-drink daily limit. Packages exclude Celebration Key. A 20% service charge is added on top of any a la carte drink purchases.

Gratuities

Gratuities were quietly raised by $1/day in 2025. Two passengers in a balcony for 7 nights pay ~$252 in gratuities. Princess Plus does NOT include gratuities despite being the mid-tier package.

Room Service

Only continental breakfast is free. All other room service orders incur a delivery charge plus 20% service fee.

Specialty Dining

A 20% service charge is automatically added to all specialty dining purchases on top of the cover charge.

Tipping

A 20% service charge (raised from 18% in 2025) is automatically applied to bar drinks, specialty dining, spa services, and room service. This is on top of the daily crew appreciation charge.

Booking

Non-refundable deposits are now the default on most fare types. Refundable deposits must be selected at time of booking for an additional fee. Cancellation within 28 days of sailing forfeits 100% of fare.

Policy Change

Princess Plus increased from $60 to $65/day and Princess Premier from $90 to $100/day in 2025. Package prices are per person per day, adding up quickly on longer voyages.

General

Princess Plus does not include gratuities, unlimited specialty dining, or premium WiFi speeds. Only Princess Premier includes all three, at a significantly higher daily cost.
