During our 2016 cruise on Princess Cruises Ruby Princess, we were offered an All-Inclusive Beverage Package for $49 per person daily. The package includes any single drink for $10 or less. There are some exceptions, which include:
Beverages over $10
Mini-bar items inside the stateroom cabin
cigarettes & cigars
souvenir items
food retail items
vending machine items
in-room service
Also note that Princess will automatically tack on a 15% gratuity to each order. With this drink package, one additional benefit is that bottle wines under $100 will get a discount of 40% off.
We don't drink much so we didn't go for the offer, but can see this becoming a cheaper solution for cruisers who drink 6 or more beverages daily on a consistent basis, which can include premium coffee of course. This perk will likely be more beneficial for cruises with more sea days.
