Passengers preparing for upcoming voyages with Princess Cruises have been caught off guard by a significant price hike on bottled water. Recently, the price for a 12-pack of 500-milliliter bottles increased dramatically, rising from $7.09 to $24.00—a substantial jump that left many guests surprised.
This price change applies across both U.S. and international Princess Cruises sailings, with Canadian passengers experiencing a similar increase. In Canada, the cost for the same 12-pack of bottled water rose from 10 CAD to 32.40 CAD, representing a steep increase as well.
The price adjustment was implemented quietly, with Princess Cruises not issuing a formal announcement beforehand. This sudden increase has led many passengers to voice their concerns and frustration online, noting how the price escalated unexpectedly.
Despite the surprise, Princess Cruises reserves the right to adjust pricing at any time, though the magnitude of this recent change has raised eyebrows among loyal cruisers.
