Room Service excluded from the premier beverage package.

That is too bad!  The ocean concierge app makes it sound like they will bring anything anywhere...

I have always taken my wife's cruise card with me when we both have the drink package and get two coffees with no problems.

Your wife has a good husband 👍🏻😄  thanks for the info!

You should have no issue getting 2 coffees with one person, either two on his card, or one each.  I doubt you would need the 2nd medallion, they can see that you are cabin mates and both have the coffee card.  At least take it the first time.

I will have him take both the first time but try using just his...thanks!

No it cannot be used through room service.

 I would think yes he could take both medallions to get the coffees.

Will definitely send the husband then! Thanks!

Be careful. Someone posted a warning on another site that her husband took both their medallions while she stayed in the cabin. She got surprised by her room steward who entered the cabin even though she had do not disturb. The room steward could tell that both the medallions were out of the room.

Ooh good to know...will let the steward know first thing that this will be our early m o so we don't start on the wrong footing. 😮

So I guess you have the beverage package or coffee card . The “rule” is separate coffee 2 Medallions or cards. But a tip with the order usually cures that. But it’s not a guarantee.

Yes, we have the beverage packages.  So two medallions would show up...I just don't want to tag along if I don't need to. Thanks!

Not sure. But room service?

Thanks for responding! Can you order specialty coffees from room service?  My husband is an early riser and would prefer to wander and pick it up if possible. 

Or do I need to get my butt out of bed also? 🤓

You really don't need the beverage package at all.  Actually unless you drink very heavily or constantly I have found it's just better to buy as you go.  You can also bring 2 bottles of wine on board. No corkage fee if opened in your room.  We like to enjoy a glass pre dinner and sometimes will carry a glass to dinner.  Also if buying wine do the bottle. They will hold it for you to enjoy the next day or just bring it back to your room...of course when we were younger we never had any left...lol

Going back and forth on the beverage package...happy just not paying more to get the "free" apps.  Thanks for your input!

If you have wine in Vines they give you tapas even if you get the wine from having the beverage package. We enjoyed it a number of times.

Perfect! Thanks so much.  Looking forward to our first princess cruise. 😁

Anytime is just that....come when ready.  Both times we were on the Crown it was easy to get seated whenever. Just don't get p o'd if you have to wait a few minutes.  Go in with an open mind. Some days you will be busy others not so. You may not want to eat at 5 or 6 so just go with the flow.  Sit and have a cocktail, people watch in the atrium, have a glass of wine! Remember there are no clocks or people telling you what to do or when (unless you are on a tour of course).  On Princess, the wine bar offers free apps if you buy wine and with the International cafe (there is no charge, just in case you are a first timer with Princess) next to it, sometimes we don't go to dinner, all is good!

And yes you may make a reservation or choose to sit with others. Talk to people it's fun!

PS...if you haven't already , try the Crown Grill, it's well worth it.

You mentioned the bar offering free apps if you buy wine.  Do you have to buy something additional outside of the beverage package to get the apps?
