Drink Prices on Diamond Princess

[gazman51]

G'day

We are on the 25th May 2013 Voyage of the Glaciers.

This is our first cruise in 30 years

We are Australian

Could someone please tell us what drink prices to budget for on board ?

 

Just the basic beer , wine , and spirits .

 

and any other hidden costs

Shore excursion costs we have found on line

Beers range anywhere from $5.95 and up although they sometimes have "buckets of beer" at a sale price (6 for $24) something like that.

Their wine prices are inflated, bottles from $29 and up - not too outrageous but definitely marked up!

 

I'll be on a cruise in less than four weeks so I will snap a picture of the bar menu and post it when I return so you can have actual prices :D

Most Princess ships will allow you to take onboard 1 bottle of wine each at embarkation to drink in your cabin or to take a glass on deck. If you want to take to dining room for dinner then there is a $15 corkage fee per bottle. We have always found we can bring 2 additional bottles of wine or a few bottles of beer at each port and there is no issue. My husband loves to be able to taste regional beers. I have heard the Australian based Princess ships don't allow you to but not sure if that is a hard fact.
