Frequently Asked Questions

What are casual dining experiences and where can I get them?

These are set three-course meals at Princess Cruises' casual dining venues, including: Ocean Terrace, Vines, Alfredo's Pizzeria, and Kai Sushi. These venues vary by ship, so you may want to explicitly check the dining options available on your cruise ship during the booking process.

Do I need to make specialty dining reservations in advance?

While not completely necessary, this is recommended, and can be done so via the Princess Cruises App. That way, you can make sure you get the venue, time, and date of your preference.

How much is OceanNow delivery if I booked a Princess Standard fare?

If you want to take advantage of OceanNow delivery, you can pay a one-time access fee of $14.99 per person per voyage – and an additional $5 room service fee will apply to each order placed by stateroom phone.

Can I upgrade my fare to Princess Plus or Princess Premier after booking?

You can! Even if you're booked a Princess Standard fare, you can upgrade to Princess Plus for £50 per guest per day or Princess Premier for £75 per guest per day.
