Where says view more under the category there is nothing. They must be busy removing the perks. Where do you see it missing? It still shows for me on the suites page and the PDF. https://www.princess.com/learn/ships/staterooms/suites/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't use a smart phone to this task either. If Princess goes to a more inclusive cruise model I will go to Celebrity or Azamara which has a better cruise experience. I just looked at the cabin perks and the complimentary specialty dinner on the first night is gone from booking a full suite. Where says view more under the category there is nothing.

You were allowed to add this promo, at least I was able to after I made booking for the AKL/LA cruise on the Ruby, April 2020. Believe promo was Best2DG for Drinks and Tips(Grats) for $30/day. Now only all 3 offered as a bundle with ‘plus’. Thanks for posting this. I was starting to doubt my memory. LOL! I knew I had seen a mix/match type thing.

cruzsnooze Posted June 30, 2021 Author #379 Share Posted June 30, 2021 When you go to book a cabin and see the four categories. Under those boxes it states view amenities. When I click on suites it is not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzsnooze Posted June 30, 2021 Author #380 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I blew the paste but under the balcony you can see where it states view stateroom amenities and when you click that link there is no specialty dinner under suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LACruiser88 Posted June 30, 2021 #381 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I'm totally disappointed in the lack of changes to the CC levels. This was the best opportunity to "rip off the band-aid" and make significant changes to the tiers! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost for me was 49.99@ 50% off, forfeiting all my elite minutes for a 7-day cruise on the Royal in April 2019, and 59.99 for a 10-day cruise in Oct 2019, same ship. These were pre-tax prices.

Fort two people in the cabin, that is $80/day extra or $560 for a seven day cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So... do these new "benefits" apply immediately, or do they begin with the first cruise you book after today?

Suite benefits have not changed. Do not be so sure. Not all the Princess pages have necessarily been updated. For example, it still says " During your time on board, you’ll also be able to connect with loved ones at home with a complimentary internet package." under platinum benefits. https://www.princess.com/cruise-tips-vacation-ideas/cruise-destinations/cruise-tips-advice-and-information/cruise-membership-benefits.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted June 30, 2021 #388 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I note the following items: a) As mentioned, the free Internet minutes are gone for Platinum/Elites. b) All discounts on pre-purchased items are given as OBC on board. No indication if this is refundable or non-refundable OBC. c) "Tier specific recognition pin" is still included although another thread says it has been eliminated. d) "Destination Collection" (formerly the Cruise Atlas) will be in electronic form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some unknown reason we started receiving it after our 3rd cruise. After our 5th, Covid happened, and we haven’t received one since (understandably). I’m in my early 50’s, and Hubby is in his mid. We are both fairly tech-savvy, yet we appreciated the physical, printed copy. My inner environmentalist appreciates the idea of .PDFs, but I will miss the magazine format.

Same here. Disappointed in losing elite internet benefit. Next cruise I have used FCC for Plus package so not an issue there After that, will consider Celebrity vs Princess for destination, value more often now. Princess perks won’t mean much to me. Just became elite 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never actually go to use it though as all of the cruises that we booked with it were cancelled. BEST2DW and BEST3 are the same net fares as the current plus fares. BEST2DG would be less expensive if you did not purchase wi-fi. With a wi-fi purchase it would work out very close to the net plus fares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like that type of pricing to come back, but ideally I'd like Wi-Fi and gratuities to be an option. Drinks package doesn't do much for us.
