Princess sells drinks coverage two ways, and it pays to know which you're comparing. The standalone Plus Beverage Package costs $64.99 per person per day (15 drinks/day, $15 per-drink cap) and the Premier Beverage Package $84.99 per day (unlimited, $20 cap), each plus a 20% service charge. The same coverage also comes bundled in the Princess Plus and Princess Premier fare add-ons (roughly $60-$105 per day) — which include wifi and crew appreciation, and are usually the better value if you'd pay for those anyway.
The Plus package's $15 cap covers most of Princess's menu — standard cocktails run $10-$14 — so the practical difference between Plus and Premier is the drink count (15 per day vs unlimited) and premium pours. Very few cruisers hit 15 drinks; for most people Plus-level coverage is the right comparison point.
Unlike Royal Caribbean, Carnival, and Celebrity, Princess does not force every adult in a cabin to buy the same beverage package when purchased standalone — a real advantage for couples where one person drinks lightly. Run each person's numbers separately in the calculator.
