Princess Introduces Alcohol Drinks Package on Australian Cruise Ships
In news that is sure to please Australian drinkers, Princess Cruises has introduced a beverage package including alcohol on Dawn Princess, Sun Princess and Sea Princess, as well as its international ships that spend the summers down under -- Diamond Princess, Golden Princess and Emerald Princess -- on itineraries of eight nights or longer that depart from and return to ports in Australia.
Priced at AU$59 per person per day, the all-inclusive package covers drinks up to the value of AU$14 including cocktails, spirits, beers, wine by the glass, specialty coffees, soft drinks, shakes, juices and water bottles. Passengers who buy the deal also receive a 40 percent discount on bottles of wine under AU$100.
The package can only be bought when onboard the ship from any bartender or waiter, and it must be purchased for the full duration of the cruise; partial packages are not available.
Princess Cruises joins Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises and Holland America Line in the cruise lines that offer alcoholic packages on Australia-based ships. Carnival Cruise Line and P&O Cruises do not have alcohol packages on Australia-based ships.
