Is bottled water free on Princess Cruises?

Princess Cruises does offer a variety of complimentary beverages. These include juice during breakfast, non-bottled iced water, iced tea, tea, and brewed coffee. Other beverages like specialty coffees, smoothies, fresh juice, soft drinks, bottled water, and energy drinks are all an additional fee.



No, bottled water is not free on Princess Cruises for guests on a standard fare, but it is included for those with specific beverage packages. If you are on a "Standard" fare, you can get complimentary glasses of tap water, iced tea, and lemonade at the buffet and in the main dining rooms, but a bottle of water (500ml or 1L) will incur a charge, typically starting around $2.25. However, if you have booked the Princess Plus or Princess Premier packages, bottled water is included. The Plus package allows for 500ml bottles, while the Premier package often includes 1L bottles for dinner. For those who don't want a full alcohol package, Princess also offers a "Bottled Water Package" that you can purchase before your cruise, which provides a case of 12 bottles delivered to your stateroom for a discounted flat fee. Many cruisers also choose to bring their own reusable water bottles and fill them for free at the self-serve water stations located in the Horizon Court buffet area.
