Princess Plus is a bundled "all-inclusive" fare package that offers significant savings by combining the most popular onboard amenities into a single daily fee. In 2026, the Princess Plus package typically costs $65 per person, per day ($70 on the Sun and Star Princess) and includes the Plus Beverage Package (covering drinks up to $15 each), unlimited Wi-Fi for one device, and "Crew Appreciation" (daily gratuities). Newer 2026 benefits also include two "Premium Desserts" per day, two fitness classes, and two casual dining meals at venues like Alfredo’s or Kai Sushi. By pre-purchasing this package, travelers avoid "nickel-and-diming" on the ship and can save roughly 50% compared to buying these items separately. It is a peer-to-peer "best value" choice for most cruisers who plan to have at least three or four cocktails or specialty coffees a day, as the beverage package and gratuities alone almost cover the entire cost of the bundle, effectively making the Wi-Fi and extra dining free.
