🧳 Cruise Essentials I Always Pack
These are the items I bring on every Princess cruise — they make the whole trip easier.
🍷 Wine Included in Princess Plus
Princess includes:
House wines by the glass
Many mid‑tier wines
Sparkling wines under the price cap
Rosé, red, and white options across multiple venues
Wine lists vary by ship and itinerary, but Princess is generous with by‑the‑glass options.
Personal note: My husband enjoyed the upgraded wines available with the Premier Package, and they were excellent — especially paired with specialty dining. But unless you’re planning to do all the specialty restaurants or want premium bottles every night, I’d personally just pay the occasional upcharge for those wines. The included selections in Princess Plus are more than satisfying for most cruisers.
🥃 Spirits & Cocktails Included
Princess Plus includes:
Well spirits
Many mid‑tier brands
Classic cocktails under the price limit
Frozen drinks
Mocktails
Examples of spirits you’ll often find included:
Tito’s
Bacardi
Captain Morgan
Jack Daniel’s
Jim Beam
Beefeater
Tanqueray
Malibu
Jose Cuervo
Higher‑end brands may require the Premier Package, but Princess Plus covers plenty for the average cruiser.
⭐ Lazy Girl Tip
If you’re not picky about brands, Princess Plus covers plenty. I only recommend upgrading to Princess Premier if you’re doing multiple specialty dining nights or you love premium wines. Otherwise, Princess Plus is more than enough for most cruisers.
🍸 Specialty Cocktails
Princess is known for its themed bars and signature cocktails. Many of these fall under the Princess Plus price cap, including:
Good Spirits cocktails
Vines wine bar selections
Poolside frozen drinks
Standard martinis and margaritas
If a drink is priced under the cap, it’s included — no matter the venue.
Personal note: On my last sailing, I had the Premier Package, so I tried a few of the upgraded cocktails — and they were fantastic. But honestly, I would’ve been more than happy with the drinks included in Princess Plus. The variety and quality are more than enough for most cruisers.
🧊 What’s Not Included
Princess Plus does not include:
Top‑shelf spirits
High‑end wines by the glass
Bottles of wine
Drinks above the package limit (you pay the difference)
