Bit of an update. I've just downloaded the new Princess app and set it up with my cruise details. On the front page, to the bottom right, there is a section marked 'profile'. I clicked on that and amongst the many sections it brings up was one called 'package'. I clicked on that and it listed all the items included within the premier package, including the missing ones. I suspect(hope!) this means that the full premier package is on my account, but it does not say words to the effect 'this is the package you have got', though I think that is the intention.

I think you are right, it is just an error on their system. I've just done a dummy booking and when you get to the page that asks what fare you want, standard, plus or premier, all 3 items are shown as included in the premier offer. Wish Princess were a bit more on the ball.

Just booked a cruise on Sky and took advantage of the current offer in the UK of Premier for the price of Plus. Looking at my booking online on my Princess account it shows everything expected included but there is no mention of 'unlimited casual meals', 'oceannow delivery' or 'room service delivery'. Is this just a mistake or is the UK promotion for a lesser product. Anyone in the UK who has booked any idea?.

Excellent idea.

Nationwide are making some major changes to their travel insurance from May 1st. The insurer is changing to Aviva and amongst the changes are: 1) At present you can buy an extension to increase your cancellation cover to £20000 but from May 1st the maximum you can increase it to will be reduced to £10000, so possibly this will have an impact on longer cruises. 2) At present you can buy a cruise cover extension for the year that covers things like missed port cover. From May 1st you must buy the extension for each cruise that you do. There are several other changes and people are reporting that they are starting to receive emails from Nationwide. I cannot post a direct link but if you do a search for 'Nationwide FlexPlus Travel Provider Change ' it should bring up the relative links.

Jim, What can I say. Thank you so much for this reply which is everything I could have asked for---perfect.

I shall be booking a cruise on this ship soon. One of the options is to pay extra for the premium drinks package rather than the standard one included. So that we can make a choice can anyone post a copy of the onboard drinks menus or point me towards where I might find them. Thanks

Thanks for clarifying. Looking forward to hearing how your meals in there go.

Selbourne, I know you will be visiting Epicurean on your cruise. My wife and I are on for two weeks in a few weeks time and I'm trying to find out if, on an Iona 2 week cruise, they have one or two menus that they use. The P&O site only shows one menu but I'm sure I've heard in the past that they have two that they alternate. If it is 2 different menus presumably there is no way of knowing beforehand if you want to book before you board. Thank You

Just to add to my original post. I've logged in to personaliser this morning and the advert for 15% off is still there but the wording saying it is ending 31/10/23 has gone. Make of that what you will.

Just noticed when I logged into Cruise Personaliser that the message about 15% discount for the internet packages now says 'offer ends October 31st'. Have to say we had the package on the recent 30 day Aurora cruise and found the basic package to be good, including in the middle of the Atlantic. The signal in the cabin was not always the best, but was acceptable, but the signal around the ship in passenger areas was usually very good.

As both Arvia and Britannia are in the Caribbean while you are there I think it likely that guest entertainers on those ships will also pop up on your cruise at some point.

Have I seen this correctly---both Ventura AND Iona doing 35 nights to Caribbean in Jan 26. That's a lot of cabins to fill.

Many thanks Pink15. From what I am seeing the excursion prices are very reasonable.

Thanks Mr Blue Sky.
