Princess Cruises has upgraded its top-tier cruise package, Princess Premier, to offer even more value to passengers. Starting August 15, the enhanced package includes unlimited drinks and unlimited specialty dining, making it one of the most comprehensive offerings in the cruise industry.
Previously, the Princess Premier package capped drinks at 15 per day, with each drink priced at up to $15. The new package removes this limit, covering all alcoholic beverages, specialty coffees, smoothies, and bottled water up to $20 per drink. Additionally, bottles of wine and large bottles of water will be available at a 25% discount.
The dining experience has also been significantly enhanced. While the previous package included two nights of specialty dining, the upgraded Premier package now offers unlimited access to the cruise line’s top dining venues. This includes the Crown Grill steakhouse, Sabatini's Italian trattoria, The Catch by Rudi, Makoto Ocean, and Butcher's Block by Dario Cecchini.
Other notable enhancements include unlimited priority access to the MedallionNet Max internet service, providing passengers with faster and more reliable connectivity.
With these upgrades, the cost of the Princess Premier package has increased from $80 to $90 per day. The upgraded package is available for purchase now on cruises departing from North America and will be available for all other cruises starting August 16.
The rollout schedule for the upgraded package is as follows:
- Enchanted Princess: August 31
- Majestic Princess; Sky Princess: September 1
- Crown Princess: September 2
- Ruby Princess: September 3
- Grand Princess: September 4
- Emerald Princess, Discovery Princess, Sun Princess: September 7
- Caribbean Princess, Regal Princess: September 12
- Royal Princess, Sapphire Princess: September 14

Princess Cruises has been continuously evolving its Premier and Plus packages. Last year, the line added value by including three-course meals at casual dining venues like Salty Dog Pub and O'Malley's, along with complimentary food and drink delivery service.
