My Expert Recommendation
If you plan to use Wi-Fi during your cruise and will be paying for daily gratuities, I strongly recommend upgrading to at least the Princess Plus bundle.
Even for guests who do not drink alcohol, Princess Plus typically delivers the best overall value. When you factor in Wi-Fi, gratuities, and onboard extras, the bundle often costs less than purchasing these individually.

“If you want Wi-Fi and are paying gratuities, Princess Plus is almost always the better value — even without alcohol.”
Does the Bundle Actually Save You Money?
Let's run the real numbers — no guesswork, no marketing spin.
Without Princess Plus
Per person, basics only
With Princess Plus
All essentials covered, plus extras
You are already spending about $55/day on the basics. For about $10 more per day, you also get drinks, dining, and additional perks.
Bottom Line
Princess Plus almost always pays for itself if you plan to use Wi-Fi and pay gratuities.
Real-World Example
A typical day might include coffee, bottled water, a soda, and a glass of wine — which can easily exceed the price difference between paying à la carte and having Princess Plus already included.
