In 2026, Princess Cruises has implemented a high-fidelity pricing structure for its beverage packages that reflects a "High-Value" shift toward bundled fares. For the newest ships, the Sun Princess and Star Princess, the "Princess Premier" package is priced at $105 per day when purchased pre-cruise (or $110 on board), while on all other ships, the high-value rate is $100 pre-cruise ($105 on board). These high-fidelity packages are a necessity for travelers seeking to avoid high-value "a la carte" prices, which are also subject to an 18% service fee. While the "Standard Fare" remains an option, the "Princess Plus" and "Premier" packages are the high-value gold standard for 2026, as they bundle high-fidelity Wi-Fi, crew appreciation (tips), and specialty dining. For 2026 cruisers, the "High-Fidelity" cost of a single cocktail is typically around $15, making the high-value daily packages a necessity for those who enjoy more than a few high-fidelity drinks per day. This high-value pricing model is a requirement for the line's "High-Fidelity" premium positioning in the 2026 market.
