HappyCruiserettu Posted September 24, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 24, 2018 We have been to Princess Cays once, several years ago, but didn't eat there. Just wondering about costs for food and drinks. Is there a charge for the barbecue, hamburgers, or hot dogs. I assume that sodas and alcoholic beverages are same price as aboard ship. Are the usual free drinks (iced tea, lemonade, etc) available as well. Someone mentioned food carts (tacos, etc). Any charges there? Looking for insight as we prepare for our December visit.

antmaril Posted September 24, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 24, 2018 The only money I spent on Princess Cay (using my cruise card) was for Margaritas. :D BBQ lunch is included in your cruise fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 2 walk through pavilions one on either side of the docking area where they serve burgers, corn, dogs, chicken, maybe some other items, ice tea and lemonade. There are also street wagons (we prefer these) across the bridge and past the main food area where they have items like chili dogs, tacos, etc. No charge for any food items. There is a charge just like on the ship for any alcoholic and soda beverages. It's charged to your on board account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheezedr Posted September 24, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 24, 2018 The food and standard drinks like ice tea and lemonade are included. Soft drinks and alcohol depends on your package or you pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husky61 Posted September 24, 2018 #7 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Hamburgers were great! Because food is so subjective, I can't agree with you. The last time we were on Princess Cay we thought the food was almost inedible.:) But that is just our opinion and I'm sure others won't agree with.

OCruisers Posted September 24, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 24, 2018 At Princess Cays it's the same as when you're on the ship. As others have noted, the buffet/food is at no addition charge. Note to those with the PBP: There aren't the guns for Cokes, etc. so the only way to get one is to pay for it in the can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.Gosse Posted September 25, 2018 #11 Share Posted September 25, 2018 This is this first I'm hearing of food carts. They are princess carts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satxdiver Posted September 25, 2018 #12 Share Posted September 25, 2018 The food carts have food prepared on the ship and taken ashore. We tried them when they first started using them and found the offerings to have a lot to be desired mostly because the food had been prepared on the ship earlier. So may not agree. The hot dogs and hamburgers in the pavilion is cooked there. The cold items including cookies are prepared on the ship and taken ashore. The hamburgers/hotdogs are similar to what is served on the lido deck. The soda pop is served in cans only and no beverage package covers it. So the soda pop cans are billed to your folio as are the numerous rentals available. As long as you do not leave the area exiting through the gateway onto the island itself, no passport or other ID is necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note to those with the PBP: There aren't the guns for Cokes, etc. so the only way to get one is to pay for it in the can. The Premium Beverage Package is valid on PC. As you stated one cannot get a can of coke due to the lack of the soda guns. But you can sure use the package for other drinks. As far as the ultimate soda package or whatever they call it now. It is NOT valid on PC for the same reason. I agree about the food on PC not being very good. Gave up eating there couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floridalover5623 Posted September 25, 2018 #16 Share Posted September 25, 2018 They also have decent ribs that were prepared on the ship & keep warm. For a picnic lunch on the beach, what more can people expect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mud_Shark Posted September 25, 2018 #19 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Brussel sprouts were first served to prisoners - not as food but as part of their punishment. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted September 25, 2018 #20 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Well, for whatever it is worth, I do like Brussel Sprouts. But, what about the Princess Cays food offerings? Is it as good as the same, better, or worse that the luncheon provided on Half Moon Cay by Holland America Line? When on the island, where is a good location to order a Pina Colada or a Rum Punch?
