Just booked a fall 2023 cruise on the Caribbean Princess. For our last few cruises we've added the drinks/tips and wifi to our cruise because the difference in price really was worth it. For this cruise the difference was $900 CAD or $450pp CAD. Once I did the math it was far cheaper for us to pay the cheapest price + tips + pay for our own drinks. Tips for the 7 days is $225. No way we'd drink anywhere near $675 for the week but our previous cruises the difference was close enough to what we'd normally drink that it was worth doing it, if only for the wifi. Has it gone up or is it just me?

Been to Amber Cove a few times and we're thinking about going on the Caribbean Princess in 2023 to there but instead of hanging around the pool area for the day we're considering a cab to Puerto Plata and spending the day there on our own. Anyone know what a cab ride would be for 4 down town from Amber Cove and how would a day in Puerto Plata sound like walking around on our own? Safe? Lots to see?

Think we can walk off on a Saturday morning and make a Southwest flight for 9:30?

Covid is EVERYWHERE and not limited to that region. For the next few years we're all going to be taking that chance anytime we step on a plane, cruise ship or go to a resort or hotel. Its not specific to any one region.

I didn't call. The helpful users here on CC put me on the straight and narrow. I'm good.

Thanks for the responses everyone

My bad. Should have read the fine print. I wonder if this included soda by the can as well? I think it did previously didn't it? We used to order ginger ale to the room.

So got this email from Princess the other day announcing Princess Premier. With it you get the Premier drinking package, crew appreciation and 2 specialty dinners plus a bunch of other stuff I would never use. Looking at our two fully paid upcoming cruises we purchased the package that included the Premier drink package plus crew appreciation so I went and checked my reservation this morning and what do I see? They downgraded my drink package to Princess Plus which does not include specialty coffees or premier soda package. Anyone else see this? Guess who is getting a phone call this morning when they open?
