in-room dining

For breakfast or dinner, does room service cost more on princess?

Room service is free. Just tip the server a buck or two.

If you are planning any excursions, or just geting off ship and spending the day, I suggest bringing a small box, minus box, of zip top sandwich bags. About an hour before you leave ship, call room service and order a club sandwich plus whatever else you like from room service. Take that with you for lunch, a snack, etc. A lot cheaper, plus you know you are getting quality food. The wife and I do it all the time, even sit in small cafes, order drinks, and eat.

Besides, it doesn't look cheap. You are probably in a country where that sandwich is better than what they eat. The most the cafe can do is ask you to not eat it, or leave, don't come back (grin).

You can always stock up at the Horizon Court too. I enjoy a pre-dinner snack of cheese & crackers with a nice glass of wine

Great tips, my husband has some sugar-level problems so I want to make sure he eats regulary. I was thinking about taking some of those flexible lunch bags (kind of a lined cooler thing.) Are there mini-fridges in the room, or ice machines to keep things cool?

Princess has mini refridges in all rooms. But the ice machines are off limits in crew areas for security.

Great tip on ziplock Baggies!!!!

Another one I like---the horizon court often has fresh baked cookies late at night. We get a few and take them to our cabin for the next day or ashore, makes a nice treat.

If you tell your cabin steward you like ice they usually keep it fresh for you
