Princess Premiere is the most comprehensive package offered by Princess Cruises, designed to provide an all-inclusive experience with a focus on premium amenities and convenience. It goes beyond the Princess Plus package by adding even more value and luxury.  

Here’s a breakdown of what Princess Premiere typically includes:

Unlimited Premier Beverage Package: This is an upgrade from the “Plus” beverage package, offering a wider selection of drinks, including top-shelf spirits, premium wines by the glass, and handcrafted cocktails (up to a higher price point than the Plus package). It also includes specialty coffees, smoothies, and bottled water.  

Unlimited Specialty Dining: Enjoy dining at Princess’s specialty restaurants every night of your cruise. This includes popular venues like the Crown Grill (steakhouse) and Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria.  

Unlimited Wi-Fi: Stay connected with high-speed internet access throughout your cruise.  

Crew Appreciation (Gratuities): Covers daily gratuities for the crew.  

Photo Package: Capture your cruise memories with a photo package that includes digital downloads and prints.  

MedallionNet Max: Enhanced Wi-Fi for even faster speeds and greater bandwidth.  

OceanNow Delivery: Order food, drinks, and merchandise from your smart device for delivery anywhere on the ship.  

Reserved Show Seating: A great location for all the shows in the Princess Theater, seats reserved for Premiere travelers are wonderful. Five minutes before the show starts, any unoccupied Premiere seats are released for anyone who wants them. Potential winners line up to be first.

It’s really full in all the shows

Ultimate Value: It offers the most comprehensive set of amenities at a bundled price, providing significant savings compared to purchasing each item separately.  

All-Inclusive Experience: With drinks, dining, Wi-Fi, and gratuities covered, you can truly relax and enjoy your vacation without worrying about extra costs.  

Premium Perks: The inclusion of specialty dining, a higher-tier beverage package, and a photo package elevates the cruise experience.  

Things to Consider:

• Cost: Princess Premiere is the most expensive package, so it’s essential to evaluate if the included amenities align with your preferences and budget.
• Personal Preferences: If you don’t plan to consume a lot of alcohol or dine at specialty restaurants frequently, the Princess Plus package might be a more suitable option.

If you’re looking for a truly all-inclusive and luxurious cruise experience with Princess Cruises, the Premiere package is worth considering. You can find the latest details and pricing on the Princess Cruises website or by contacting your travel agent.

Struggling about which to choose? Those who do not enjoy alcoholic beverages might automatically choose no plan, believing alcoholic beverages are the main attraction. Travelers I talked to about the Plus or Premiere plan when not interested in alcohol found the packages still a great value and perhaps an advantage even without the alcohol.

Proving very popular is the Premiere benefit of unlimited specialty dining. While upgraded alcohol brands are not of interest, upgrading the photo package is actually a real benefit. Forget what you know about ship photographers of the past, the pesky snappers who just did not want to take no for an answer. Free photos makes them some of the most popular crew on board now. “It’s like night and day” one of them told me. Included preferred seating everywhere with the Premiere plan and those with mobility issues will also find a lot to like.

Regardless of which plan you choose, I recommend getting one and giving it a try on your next Princess Cruise. Either plan provides a truly exciting and new experience for all.
