To add also think about coffee drinks and bottle water which is unlimited on package. $5 for coffee, $2.50 for soda, and $2.95 for small water. My numbers may be slightly off but not by much for calculation.
mine usually work out to be close to same or cheaper and then with the on board stock credit and MOBC it is better doing b2b. Not sure what you mean by the excursions on turn around day but they are always available to us.
One of the reasons I always book longer cruises as b2b is to get the extra causal meals. Only 2 per booking no matter how else cruise can be divided. That is my experience.
My booking is still there and working fine but it is in 17 days. Not sure how soon your is but if after the dining changes may be a good thing, Princess IT working on changes?
I think it depends on what ship has. In January on Discovery I got 8 gins, 4 diet cokes, 2 beers, and 4 Perriers. Weirdest mini I have ever received. It was changed out per my request by dinner time.
I checked 7 bookings I had and all of them, even with the OBC were at least $200 p/p more than what I booked for. (I do book when they first come out to previous guest). I like the idea of discounting plus or premium but am afraid they would just increase the price of the cruise.
Actually this is one of the questions ask when you book on line. Bed configuration and do you want bathrobes in cabin. But never fear cabin Steward will bring them if not there
I am traveling with my two granddaughters next summer. When I realized that only myself and one granddaughter had the package I called my CVP and had him add a package for second granddaughter. They are both under 16 years old. I did the calculations and it is still worth it for us.
OP you can add the 3rd passenger just call Princess.
Did you actually check with Princess for transfers or just try on line? I read that people have been able to book on line but have never succeeded always had to call CVP to get transfers added.
Have you been reading the live thread from the island? The poster there was actually in one of the cabins that was flooded. Two totally different perspectives of same incident.
