Before you sail

What the fare covers, what it doesn't, and how this itinerary actually runs.

2 sea days
The pool loungers and the shaded spots go early on a sea day — by eight in the morning on a full ship, and this one carries 2,670 guests. Reserving one and leaving it is against the rules on most lines and crew do clear them, so send someone early rather than at ten.
Day one and the last day are half-days
A 7-night cruise is really 6 full days. Boarding runs into the afternoon and you are off the ship early on the last morning.

Already in the fare

Meals in the main dining rooms, casual buffet, and specific quick-service venues are covered.Access to most on-board entertainment, including production shows, live music, and comedy acts, is part of the fare.Use of the pools, hot tubs, and basic fitness center facilities is included.Enrollment in supervised youth programs for children and teens is typically offered at no extra cost.Some non-alcoholic beverages like water, basic coffee, hot tea, and juices at breakfast are provided free of charge.Port taxes and fees are usually included in the initial cruise fare, though it is wise to confirm with the line when you book.

The drinks package

The Princess Plus package, which includes a beverage package along with Wi-Fi and gratuities, typically costs around $60-80 USD per person, per day, including the automatic service charge.

Break-even: For the beverage portion of the Plus package, you would likely need to consume about 5-7 alcoholic drinks or premium non-alcoholic beverages like specialty coffees each day to equal its value.

This package is generally suitable for those who plan to enjoy several alcoholic drinks, specialty coffees, or sodas daily, but may not be cost-effective for light drinkers or those primarily consuming included beverages.

Gratuities: An automatic daily service charge, typically around $16-18 USD per person, per day, is added to the folio; this amount may be higher for suite guests, and it can usually be prepaid or adjusted by speaking with guest services.
Wifi: Princess offers MedallionNet Wi-Fi, which is designed for reliable connectivity; costs vary by package length, but even the standard tier allows for streaming, video calls, and social media use.

Costs that surprise people

Specialty Dining. Reservations at specialty restaurants like Crown Grill or Sabatini's Italian Trattoria incur an additional per-person cover charge.
Shore Excursions. While you can explore ports independently, organized shore excursions booked through the cruise line come at an extra cost.
Spa Services and Thermal Suite. Treatments at the Lotus Spa and access to the Enclave thermal suite areas are priced separately.
Photos and Souvenirs. Any professional photos taken by the ship's photographers or items purchased in the onboard shops will be charged to your account.
Room Service After Hours or Specific Items. While basic room service is often included, some premium items or orders placed late at night may carry a service charge.
Casino and Arcade. Spending in the casino or playing games in the arcade will add to your onboard expenses.

Ways to spend less

Pre-Book a Package. Consider booking the Princess Plus or Princess Premier packages before sailing, as they often bundle drinks, Wi-Fi, and gratuities at a lower combined price than buying each separately on board.
Bring Permitted Beverages. Princess typically allows guests to bring a limited amount of wine or champagne on board, which can be consumed in your cabin or in dining venues with a corkage fee.

Getting ashore in Nassau

Cruise ships dock at Prince George Wharf, directly adjacent to downtown Nassau. The main attractions are typically a 5 to 10-minute walk from the gangway. Tendering is uncommon here unless many ships are in port, in which case confirm arrangements with your cruise line.

Taxi5 to 15 minutes, depending on destinationaround $15-25 USD per car for short distances

Jitney (Public Bus)15 to 30 minutes, depending on routetypically around $1.25-$2.50 USD per person, each way
Local jitney buses offer an affordable way to explore areas beyond the immediate downtown. They generally require exact cash in Bahamian or US dollars.

Watch out. Always confirm taxi fares with the driver before beginning your journey, as meters are not commonly used and prices should be agreed upon upfront.

This beach offers a convenient spot to swim, sunbathe, and enjoy the Bahamian sunshine within easy reach of the port.
It is a short walk, typically around 15-20 minutes, from the cruise terminal; access to the beach is free, though chair rentals might be available for about $10-15 USD for the day.
Explore Downtown Nassau and the Straw Market
Travellers can experience local culture, find souvenirs, and enjoy Bahamian food and drinks right near the ship.
The area is directly adjacent to the cruise port, allowing for a leisurely walk through shops and the market for several hours; browsing the market is free, but any purchases are at your discretion.
Visit the Queen's Staircase and Fort Fincastle
These historical sites offer a glimpse into Nassau's past and provide panoramic views of the island after a gentle climb.
The Queen's Staircase is about a 20-30 minute walk from the port, and Fort Fincastle is at the top; entry to the fort is usually around $1-3 USD per person, so confirm with the site when you arrive.
Discover Ardastra Gardens, Zoo and Conservation Centre
This unique zoo allows visitors to see flamingos march, interact with friendly Lory parrots, and enjoy tropical gardens.
A taxi ride from the port typically takes about 10-15 minutes, with fares often around $10-15 USD each way; admission is usually about $20-22 USD for adults and $10-12 USD for children, so confirm current prices on arrival.
