Is room service free on Princess?

Princess Cruises today announced several valuable new updates to its popular Princess Plus and Princess Premier packages, providing guests with even more inclusive options at no additional cost, including casual dining, OceanNow delivery service, room service delivery, and express Green Lane embarkation.



Room service on Princess Cruises is no longer entirely free for all guests as of 2026. While a basic Continental Breakfast (items like pastries, cereal, and coffee) remains complimentary if ordered via the traditional door hanger or the MedallionClass app, most other lunch, dinner, and snack items now carry a small delivery fee per order (typically around $5.00) or are priced à la carte. However, if you have purchased the Princess Plus or Princess Premier packages, the room service delivery fee is completely waived, and most "all-day" menu items are included at no extra cost. For those in full suites, expanded room service menus and "Ultimate Balcony Dining" options are often available, though the latter carries a significant premium. For the standard "fare-only" traveler, the app-based "OceanNow" service allows you to order food to be delivered anywhere on the ship—including your stateroom—for a small convenience fee, reflecting the cruise line's shift toward "on-demand" service models.
