My understanding is that you will get the new limits on beverages but you will not get the “new” items such as fancy desserts or free fitness classes unless you pay the upgrade. All the promos I have seen show a big”NEW” next to those items

I am curious about what about the “new” premier plan would make you want to change from the plus package. For us the value comes from the beverage packages, WiFi and gratuities. We have never done fitness classes, don’t need extra desserts, have had way enough pictures taken over the last 30 years and spend more time in bars and casinos than at shows. Also we sail long cruises so a few specialty dinners over a 21 day cruise is not really a big winner

The increase in plus packages is basically about 1 extra drink a day. If you already drink 5 or more per day like we do it really pays for itself without fitness classes or extra desserts

I would check with your PVP or TA. Several years ago you could pay for the transfer from the Princess hotel even if you were not staying there. It is quite a long way from downtown Tome to the airport

That is because the port area is considered y to be administered by the federal government and that is where customs agents are. Ship rules are ship rules not laws especially when they are in international waters

Fitness classes have never been free. Working out on your own has always been free

In Rome at least in the past there was a transfer from a Rome hotel to the ship. I did this several years ago

Sounds like it is time to remove this thread as it is getting personal. Was on the Ruby last month and food was generally good but spinach was way over salted. What did I do ? Stopped ordering spinach. I was ic club class and if spinach was the veggie I just asked for a different vegetable. No problama

Just a note offers seem to be not as great as before. We are getting offers for free balcony and $400 in free play. Before we were getting from $600 to $1,000 in the free play. We have always been able to upgrade to full suites for a price as long as there are some available

The complimentary specialty dinner on embarkation night does not count against any extra ones you have. If you board early the suite will probably not be ready but usually is around noon ish. The mini bar includes the beers and soft drinks in the fridge. You can change alcohol for different types of alcohol but choices are limited and upgraded brands are not part of the mini bar

My point exactly these are rules not laws so I didn’t understand your comment about making something legal

Is this on your travel summary ? I have multiple cruises booked for 2023, first one in March and all of them just say Plus Beverage Package

What law exists out at sea ? If I am off the west coast all the states I am off of have legal MJ ?

Only some mini suites are designated as club class. No way to add club class to a non club class cabin

Depends on what package you have. Unlimited internet is included on both plus and premier packages

We have a 15 day cruise during spring break from Lauderdale. Not concerned about kids on a long cruise but it sure played havoc with hotel prices

We will be on Baja. Never use the concierge lounge much so not a really big deal for us

It seems like no more walking than from aft suites We usually book Penthouse aft wrap around suites on Royal class. In June we have could not get an aft suite for B2B Alaska cruises on the Discovery so we booked one of these forward suites on Baja. Any hints or surprises? Also wondering just how big the balcony is

My PVP does not keep my credit card on file and never has. We have always had to call and give her the number prior to final pay date. I have always gotten a reminder email about 10 days prior to that date

Smoking currently allowed on one side of slots. No smoking allowed on table games

Princess Plus does not come with specialty dining or photos. We also do not need fitness class , special desserts or juice but if each person had a few drinks a day plus free waters, sodas or coffee drinks the plus package really does pay for itself. Yes I know this thread is about paying for plus and getting premier but even without the premier add ins the plus package works for anyone who even has a few cocktails a day. We are also casino guests and almost always have several drinks there as well as beers for lunch , pre dinner cocktails and wine with dinner

That is strange in our 4 cruises this year there were a good selection of desserts if we wanted them. Usually full after appetizers and mains

We were able to get the FCC’s right away. The issue came with reimbursement for Canadian required quarantine in Vancouver back in August. We basically had our PCP escalate it and in about a month we had our check

You really don’t drink or use Wifi or pay gratuities ?

Balconies are smaller than usual especially on side facing cabins even in suite’s. However the aft penthouse full suites have huge wraparound balconies
