I hear you.

And don't forget Peach Schnapps, Baileys, Kahlua, Tia Maria, vodka and Chambord. All great with their juices.

It's obvious that the Plus package benefits you much more than myself. Enjoy.

What difference would that make? Anything you have stashed can be moved very easily. We almost never book our B2B's in different cabins. It's just to much effort to be bothered with, especially if your book early enough.

The Wi-Fi is just terrible almost at every location. It's practically useless except for email an 99 % of that is pure spam which I can do without until I reach on of the Caribbean Islands where it free. I don't consider the $45 for drinks as logical since you've paid for them but if you do then the package is made for you. I'll pocket the difference & purchase what I want.

Why not cut the price by about 1/3, buying the Plus package for only the first leg and stock up on everything. Surely you can do without the mixed drinks for 8 days. I know we can after 10 days of drinking mixes drinks I'm ready to slow down to just Baileys or Kahlua in my coffee and the husband can still have his beer. 😄

See above/

Is that 22 day cruise one trip or B2B ?? I know our 20 day one in Dec is a B2B and it was $2,000 extra for the package. Now it's up to $2,400. Even considering the gratuities being taken out and the pitiful internet, it's one heck of a bar tab.

You're correct about the demographics. Princess has typically been older than HAL even way back when the comedians used to joke about HAL.

Thanks. That was the last time we bought the plus package. After the price increase we made up out minds that it was just to expensive & will just buy what we want.

You'll be OK most times in Ft Lauderdale, especially if you're early to board. The check-in table usually isn't even setup at that time.

I'm waiting for Princess to give preferential boarding to the Plus & Premier people. 😉

Where did the 75% number come from?

.

Wow. At least that on the Ruby they still were giving some decent prizes. On the Enchanted it was mostly a coaster for trivia. I don't think they even had wine stoppers any more.

That may work if you're drinking it at that location but my husband always gets my coffee at the IC to bring it to me in the room. Having it served in a open cup makes it difficult to carry on an elevator and it cools off rather quickly.

It really depends on where you're cruising to. How many times can you expect a repeat cruiser to sail the same itinerary & do repeat excursions over & over? Or purchase photo's when they have boxes of them in the closet collecting dust? Lots of us Elites just prefer the ship as a destination without having to spend extra on things we've done many times over. We've also discovered that we can do without drinking 15 drinks a day & how to soften the blow.

I seriously doubt it. It they did install it when in drydock I'm sure it would have made the headlines since it would have been the first Princess ship. In the mean time the internet is still pretty poor depending on ship location and number pf passengers using it.

Did you mean to say that there were no paper cups or napkins given out at the IC at all or they just didn't allow them off the ship.

I meant to ask, what were the prize for the trivia winners.

What were the prize for the winners?

We spend so little on the ship I doubt if we would ever qualify for any of perks.

That sounds typical for a daytime Princess internet speed. If you want a faster speed try around 3 AM or when everyone is off the ship.

Well that leaves me out.

At times it can be great. Once I asked to a larger piece of prime rib and what was give to me was terrible. I learned to get a regular size slice & reorder another if the first piece is good.
