Quite impressive, 55 cruises and 16 booked. Very nice. I've been travelling and paying for it myself since I was 16. I kinda have the cost thing down pat. I get interline rates for pretty much all travel products after 34 years at an airline. Our last two cruises to and around Australia were booked at over 70% discount two weeks before departure. We've enjoyed all our cruises except for the constant nickel and diming that has become the norm over the last number of years. It's great that you have found something you love so much that you are happy to put up with these price increases for things that were part of your fare at one time. I'll look for discounts on other cruise lines in the future as we weren't impressed at all with Princess and also look at all the other travel opportunities we have available. I wish you nothing but enjoyment on all your future cruises. Take care.

If that is the case, I have many other travel options to spend my money on. We enjoy cruising, but we do not enjoy being forced to pay for options we will not use. IMO, If all cruise lines follow this trend, they are going to lose a lot of clients. Travel and vacation options are a lot more accessible today thanks to the internet. I am sure there are people watching what the cruise lines are doing and they are planning to try and attract some of those clients over to their options.

We took our first Princess cruises last year. We cruised on the Majestic 25 days from LA to Sydney followed by a 11 day cruise up the east coast to Port Douglas returning to Sydney. Overall, we enjoyed the cruise but there were enough issues that we ended up with $1000 in Future Cruise Credits. We are not drinkers and with these changes we will use the credits and never set foot aboard a Princess ship again. I will easily find other cruise lines to enjoy or other vacation options.

Just got home after b2b on Majestic. 25 Day LA to Sydney then 11 day Queensland coast returning to Sydney. Contracted Covid on day 24 and put into isolation. Princess policy seems to be lock them away and forget about them. We self tested and I reported a positive test. Never saw anyone from the medical dept until day 6 when I was tested and released after a negative test. Any interaction with staff were ones I initiated, no daily wellness check. Dishes piled up outside door for 3 days. I am now trying to receive the FCC that Princess says we are entitled to because of Covid and am even more frustrated with Princess. This was our first experience with Princess and this treatment along with a host of others might make it our last. We spoke with many frequent Princess cruisers and many said this ship and these cruises were the worst they had been on. Buyer beware.

Sorry I should have been clearer. We are doing b2b cruises. 25 day x LA and an 11 day x Sydney. I was able to prebook the thermal suite package on the 11 day cruise but it does not show up for the 25 day cruise. I assume that this means they have sold out of the number of packages allotted. I am wondering if they hold back a few packages for sale on embarkation day.

Hello everyone, I apologize if this has been answered but I have spent the last hour looking and can’t find it. The Thermal Suite Package does not show when I try to pre-purchase it. We are late booking. Does Princess keep a limited number available for purchase onboard? Thank you for any info offered.
