DaisyRose Posted August 26, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 26, 2018 If I have a beverage package, is Princess allowing me to use it at the Platinum/Elite Cocktail Hour for the special cocktails they serve there? On a previous cruise, I could NOT use it for any of the special beverages at the cocktail hour, but I could use it for any other drinks I wanted. I found it confusing. Their explanation was that the special cocktails at the Platinum/Elite cocktail hour were already discounted, so no further "discount" (free) was allowed. Did not make a lot of sense to me; I could get more expensive drinks for free with my package, but not the reduced price cocktail hour drinks with my package.

neverbeenhere Posted August 26, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Ask your friendly server. Like all cruise lines, it will be different on just about every cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted August 26, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Yes, you can use your PBP at the Platinum/Elite Coctail Hour. No problem! We do this all of the time! (y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Raider Posted August 26, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Yes, you can use your PBP at the Platinum/Elite Coctail Hour. No problem! We do this all of the time! (y) Same here ... never had a problem. To the OP, sometimes, I think we all have run into a waiter that misinterprets or has his/her own set of rules ... whereas the next one will be most accommodating.

KCsealegs Posted August 26, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Yes, I’ve had the beverage package my last 3 cruises and was always able to have my drinks at the PES lounge “included” in the package. Enjoy and have a Boulevardier for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishywood Posted August 26, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 26, 2018 When I had the PBP on Royal Princess last November at the P/E/S cocktail hour the waiters would say "I'll make sure they make you a real Mojito" (or whatever I ordered) rather than the new-at-that-time special menu version. So when I was on my two cruises this summer without the PBP I certainly noticed the difference in pours between the P/E/S lounge specials (sic) and "real" cocktails. No clue why the OP has an issue with being done a genuine favor in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted August 26, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Assuming you are Elite/platinum/suite, then it is no problem. We used the lounge and got PBP drinks with no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted August 26, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 26, 2018 We have always used the PBP at the PSE lounge. :confused::confused::confused: Its good for ANY drink up to the set price anytime/anywhere. (except room service) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRAYTech Posted August 26, 2018 #9 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Make it a "Chairman of The Board" for me included with the PBP at the PES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
