In our opinion and experience, the Plus is well worth it. We do not worry about how many fancy espresso drinks we get, how many glasses of wine that we may select, gratuities are paid and we have our WiFi which has typically worked well for us. Then we are free to tip extra when and where we choose, in cash, to some crew members. There are numerous threads and "discussions" regarding the worthiness of Plus. @JimmyVWine did an incredible job on his recent thread about being on the Regal and British Isles. His final "tally" was very scientific!
