Star Princess is the second ship in Princess Cruises' Sphere Class, following Sun Princess. The ship features an updated public space layout, a large Piazza, and the glass enclosed Dome, along with a wide selection of dining and beverage venues. These include familiar Princess Cruises favorites as well as new concepts exclusively introduced for the Sphere Class.
Star Princess bars and lounges are located across multiple decks, from indoor venues surrounding the Piazza to outdoor bars overlooking the ocean and pool areas. Guests can order specialty coffee at Coffee Currents and the International Café, while venues such as Good Spirits At Sea and Spellbound by Magic Castle combine drinks with entertainment and themed experiences.
Whether you are researching Star Princess cocktail menus, beer and wine selections, specialty coffee prices, or the best places to get a drink before dinner, this guide covers the ship's main beverage venues and what to expect at each one.
Princess Cruises Beverage Packages
Before visiting the Star Princess bars, it is helpful to understand the Princess Cruises beverage packages. Princess Plus and Princess Premier offer beverage benefits that can simplify ordering drinks throughout a cruise. However, the specific inclusions, drink price limits, and restrictions depend on the package purchased and its current terms.
Princess Plus
Princess Plus includes a beverage package covering eligible alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks, including cocktails, wine, beer, specialty coffees, and other beverages, subject to the package's terms and individual drink price limit. The package also includes other cruise benefits, so guests should consider the full package when comparing its cost with purchasing drinks individually.
Princess Premier
Princess Premier includes an expanded beverage allowance with a higher per drink price limit than Princess Plus, along with additional dining and other cruise benefits. It can be useful for guests who expect to order premium cocktails, wine, spirits, and specialty beverages during their sailing.

Are Drinks Included at Every Bar on Star Princess?
Guests with an applicable Princess Cruises beverage package can order eligible drinks at many bars and lounges throughout Star Princess. However, a beverage package does not automatically cover every drink, venue, or experience. Certain premium selections, special experiences, and excluded purchases may require an additional payment.
Spellbound by Magic Castle, for example, is a separately bookable entertainment experience rather than a standard bar where guests can simply order a drink. Review the current pricing, availability, and inclusions before making a reservation.
Drink prices, package limits, and terms can change. For the most useful comparison, be sure to read our complete Princess Cruises bar menus and beverage guide before your cruise.
