What are the current price of a bottle of wine on Australian cruises
Not as stupidly expensive as on northern hemisphere Princess cruises. We recently came back from a Baltic Princess cruise. The cheapest bottles were $USD30 approx plus 19% service, which equates to ...
Read moreabout $AUD50. Bottle prices went up from there. Two glasses of halfway good white wine in the wine bar on board cost us $AUD37. Ludicrous.
We are going on two cruises Fiji And N.Z, in October and Nov. Have you any idea of the price of bottled white wine on Majestic Princess

Read more the nearly aud$100a day we paid so depends I guess where you are from. Anyway most days we spend on land. We are going on another Princess cruise in December and this time will pay as we go. I have found though Princess really expensive. In comparison we did Celebrity cruises to NZ a few years ago and they win hands down so far as fav cruise and often offer free beverage package I’ve noticed.

I am a Ruby Member on Princess Cruises. Why In Melbourne do we not get your newer ships? Been on Regal Princess in Europe. Fantastic.

Will the Diamond Princess come back to Sydney australia
Going on the sapphire princess cruise in August to the Mediterranean! Has anyone ever opted out of the gratuities? How does it work ... first time cruisers & not sure
Easy, go to the help desk and say you wish to opt out of paying the gratuities, don't feel bad or pressured as lots of people do it. The workers are paid poorly on most cruises, to reduce upfront cost...
Read mores, so I decided to leave some money as a general gratuity and so asked to have the total reduced and then gave some money to those that made my cruise memorable, my cabin staff and a bartender in particular. If you don't receive any special treatment then don't feel you need to tip anyone.
comments on cruises north of Brisbane
can you wear jeans in the buffet bar?
Jeans, shorts, a dress and thongs are all good in the buffet area, it was pretty casual there. We always wore long pants or a nice dress in the dining rooms and the men wore long pants and a shirt. No T shirts in the dining rooms.
Sapphire Princess is advertising the drinks package for October 2022 as $US59.99 + 18% service charged which brings it to over $US70 per day. total being $AU103 per day which is ludicrous. It is the dearest drinks package I have come across. Is there some mistake? Do the drink packages go on sale at all?
Thank you for any help.
Regards
Marie
No they don’t go on sale as we monitored it for a long time prior to our Alaska cruise. Def don’t do it. Pay as you go you will save money. We tested it out.
How do I find out the current drinks prices so I can decide if a drinks package is the way to go?
If you want to drink 5+ drinks a day the drinks package would be worth it but I have never bought a drinks package on any of my 5 cruises and have never regretted my choice. Sometimes you can get a dr...

Is there a happy hour
As of Feb. 2022 are there electric jugs and fridges in balcony cabins on the Golden Princess?
What type of power pints are on the Golden princess?
Hi Captainyev,
We went on the Sea Princess and the power points were compatible for our phone chargers and my wife's hair straightener, so I presume all Princess ships should be the same in that area, hope this helps, cheers CraigyB
Golden Princess has US power points. If travelling from Aus you will need an adapter.
Does sun princess still have happy hour?
Hi Ness, Did you mean the Sea Princess? as this is ship we went on. If you did then no. They didn't advertise it and all of the bars we went to there was no sign of a happy hour, cheers Craig
Neither the Sun nor the Sea Princess have a happy hour anymore. Just another one of the pleasures they stopped
Thankyou I did mean sun princess shame is there a way to pay six back of beers before sailing and we’re you able to take a bottle of wine on ?
What on board currency is used on the New Zealand cruise please?
Do we pay tipping on a cruise from Brisbane to Perth ..is how much there will be 3 in a cabin
No it is not compulsory to tip. We just find it better to tip the people you are in direct contact with as the cabin stewart, restaurant waitress/waiter. Many people think this is unfair, but these ...
