Has anyone been on the Emerald Princess?

Question for anyone who has cruised ith Princess?

  • I am going on a 7 night cruise to the Southern Caribbean with Princess, and am wondering, what is free and what isn't? I have researched and checked out their website and know a few things (you pay for alcohol, soda, cover charge in specialty restaurants, etc) but I have recently read that many cruise ships charge a "port fee" as well as a fee each day for fuel, and that they add on up to 20% gratuity on bills. Anyone who has cruised with Princess before, I would greatly appreciate hearing about your experience so I know what to expect. Thank you :)

  • Answer:

    The answers that are above are good. Hope you enjoy your cruise. =]

All meals are free except in specialty restaurants ($25) and alcohol and sodas must be paid for. Juice is free only at breakfast. There will be a charge of $10.50 per day for gratuity but you can go to them and tell them you do not want to participate. Port taxes and all others are already included in your cost. There will be no surprises except for the gratuity. As the other person said, the excursions are expensive but you can go and bargain with the taxi drivers outside the port.

Of course the alcohol and soda are not free. Basically the food and entertainment are free. You are also charged a "gratuity" fee per person per night, and all that is added to your bill, that you receive on the last night before you get back home. All the excursions also cost major money as well. Eat well and do not give more gratuity unless you really received great service.
