    Newbie question - what's included?

    in First Time Cruisers

    Posted · Edited by JoinedTheCircus

    Gratuities: we booked our cruise early and paid the gratuities before we even got on the boat. We always leave a little extra for our cabin steward as well (this last trip was 10 days and we left him an extra $50.)

     

    Food: (Princess) all your food is included--buffet, dining rooms, pizza, BBQ, international cafe, room service...you pay if you go to the specialty restaurants (which, by the way, is well worth the $30.00) and you also pay $3.00 if you would like a pizza delivered to your room.

     

    Drinks: water, tea, and lemonade a free. Bring a reusable water bottle for everyone. Bottled water is expensive, but you can bring case onboard...and on this last cruise, a fellow passenger said that Princess had an option to have a case of water delivered to your stateroom. We buy a coffee card which gives us 15 coffees for $30.00.

     

    Shore excursions can be found online or on shore cheaper than through the cruise line.

    For sharing: your must eat food in Italy

    in Italy Ports

    One of the most memorable meals we have ever had was in Naples. We started with a big bowl of clams in a simple white wine and garlic broth. The crusty bread with olive oil was the perfect accompaniment. Next, we were served the most beautiful bowl of seafood risotto. Oh. My. God. It was heaven. The perfect consistency with seafood so fresh it just tasted of the ocean. Finally, you can't go to Naples without having pizza. Hands down, the best pizza we've ever had. Again, simple, quality ingredients are key. Amazing!
