I am not sure what you mean? Are you booked in a suite? Did you receive an e mail concerning the booking of the 360 experience? When is your cruise and when did you book it? My cruises are in April. I received an email from Princess. The email stated that since I booked my suite prior to December 1, I will receive the 360 experience. Further more it says to see the suite concierge when I board to make the reservation for the experience. Seems clear to me. You do not necessarily need to dispute the charge with your CC. You can just cancel the reservation that you made in error ( in advance) and receive a full refund to your CC.

If both guests have the Premier package is only one passenger playing for a prize? thanks

I was also initially confused. Sorry that I missed your previously explanation. I also have a watch band from a previous cruise. I was hoping to get the second version of the watch band. Perhaps Princess will allow me to pay the difference on board and upgrade. I will let you know if I am successful.

I was not given any other options. what were some of the other options that you were given?

Are most people convinced that the number of times you open your door increases the probability of winning? Seems like a silly process to me.

Please be careful as you almost certainly do not want to buy a stand alone alcoholic drink package. If you are interested you want the Plus package or the Premier package. They are bundled with other items. Internet and ship wide gratuities and other items. The cost is $60 a day per person for the Plus and $80 a day person for the Premier package. The “savings” is based on what you would pay for each individual item at list price included in the bundle. ( not likely) If one person wishes one of the two packages the other person needs to also buy the same package. Did you each use a single CC when you purchased the cruise and paid the deposit? Contact who ever managed your initial purchase and they can add what you want to your booking. They should be able to modify your booking with the same payment options. Good luck.

You get one of those with the Premier package as your include accessory.

Thank you.

As indicated above, they are on the circle and the Caribbean cruise that is a single segment that does not return to Fort Lauderdale. I will have to watch more closely. I did enjoy one on Oceania and another on Regent, but they were expensive. I almost never see this itinerary on Celebrity that used to be availalbe every winter season. I did not realize that Princess is returning this itinerary to their schedule. Princess markets the B2B 7 day cruises as a 14 day cruise more frequently than other cruise lines that I monitor. Thank you for the heads up.

Great. I miss the true 14 day Caribbean cruises. I will take them over two B2B 7 day cruises any day. Enjoy your cruise!

I know it is not related. (I did not say that it was). IMO the mini bar set has minimal value unless one is cruising with the Standard fare. If they are cruising with one of the package, I have a different question. Now, I see it is a true 14 day cruise without any segments, never mind.

$40 a day to $50 a day, to the current $60 a day. It has been wild confusing ride. Let us hope that all the $50 a day pp booking have sailed before they increase the package to more than $60 a day. The current $60 a day price is still one of the best if not the best deal within Princess’s market. I am trying the Premier package for the first time in April.

Are you cruising with the Standard package?

I suggest you try logging into the AP on your phone using your booking number and name.

The bids placed under the bidding process are per person for the total length of the cruise. It is not a per day amount.

Yes. My point is that the mini bar can be swapped (different items, wine), it just cannot be swapped for something that no longer available on the ship. Many of us that purchase the Plus or Premier packages have several Elite benefits that are of no value to us. At least Princess offers one of the most competitively price Plus type packages. I do understand your point.

You do realize that there is no longer a coffee only package or card? Cannot swap for something that does not exist.

Suite bookings after December 1 no longer include an invitation for this experience. Positive reviews may be creating more interest. A lot of the discussion concerning reservations is centered around the suite passengers obtain their preferred times and some concern about any availability. Unlike the included two Speciality restaurant reservations included with the Premier package, you cannot book any 360 experiences on line without a payment. The letter that I received from Princess for my upcoming cruise said that since I booked prior to December to stop by the lounge for a reservation,

Congratulations on the weight loss, 40 pounds is very impressive. Even more impressive to cruise for 63 days without gaining any weight. Walking a lot?

Is the $2300 OBC from Princess or your TA? When I book a Celebrity cruise by TA gives me an additional OBC (always refundable) since Celebrity does not allow an equivalent discount on the price. When I book a Princess cruise with the same TA, I get the equivalent as a discount in the price.

I am fairly certain that Princess made a change just this year. Canned soda is now part of the drink package. I just looked on the Princess website and can soda is not listed, so I might be mistaken.

A lot of changes over a short period of time. What could possible go wrong? My suggestion would be to put a priority on getting (emails) with all the changes and double check that everything is as you expected. IMO that should be your focus. You want written proof and confirmation, Then you can focus on the actual refunds with the appropriate written documentation. From my experience, initial charges are made fairly quickly and refunds take a while. 30 days is certainly not unusual. Once you have received your final written confirmation concerning the cancelled HAL cruise, you can try disputing the charge after a couple of weeks. Seems like all factors considered, you have saved a significant amount of money. Good luck.

I found this. Is this what you are referencing? Or was there some other items added in January 2024? Did you pay the current $80 per day per person for the Premier? also if you log into your Princess Account, click on Luggage tags and Travel Summary, and then Print summary, you will see what is included for you.

True if it is a single Five week cruise that is not sold in segments. i recall a couple years ago when I cruise fro San Pedro to Tahiti and back on a single 28 day cruise. I received one mini bar set up.

The only item that you ordered was a single pizza? No appetizer or desert? And you were on the SKY? I would say Princess cheated you. Some of the Princess ship’s only offer the Prix menu and not the a La carte,(limited menu). Either way it should have been clear in the menu. Nice explanation here. https://profcruise.com/new-princess-casual-dining-menus/ Or perhaps Princess has made a change?
