Have I mississed something? Are you talking about the drink package you buy separately? it does not include wifi or gratuities like the Princess Plus rate does. think you missed something 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted June 18, 2022 #5 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I don't see anywhere to book Princess Plus after booking the cruise. I do know that sometimes it is less expensive to book the drink package separately. Princess Plus is now regularly priced at $50 per person per day, but sometimes the price is more. On my upcoming cruise, it was going to be $56.25. I decided not to get it. I will have enough onboard credit to cover my daily gratuities and 2-3 drinks a day.

Rare scooter6139 Posted June 20, 2022 #8 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I still don't understand. You choose your package when you sign up. Have they added the ability to add the package after your book the cruise, besides just "upgrading" to the next level? Don't have any Princess cruises currently booked so I can't see the post-booking options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted June 20, 2022 #9 Share Posted June 20, 2022 What Postman is saying is that if you book the standard fare and then add the plus package at $50 per day it is less expensive than initially booking the plus fare. This may be true for some trips and not true for others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you cannot add the Plus package after booking, so what he can do is add the drinks package, pre-pay gratuities and pre-pay WiFi separately. I believe that would be much more expensive than just choosing the Plus package at the time of booking, unless he doesn't add the drinks package.

You are correct, at least for all the cruises I have priced out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I mentioned before, it was going to be more than $50 per day when I booked the cruise. On some of the cruises I looked at for February, adding plus was over $100 a day.

mvaldes140 Posted June 22, 2022 #14 Share Posted June 22, 2022 This was back in March, but I was told by a representative that you can call and have them add plus for the price per day, but that might've changed when the price went up and they added premier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yehootu Posted June 22, 2022 #15 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I know you could add the Platinum Plus for $40.00 a day previously to certain fares. It was offered for Interline fares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voljeep Posted June 22, 2022 #16 Share Posted June 22, 2022 5/3/22 I have sent you a quote for the best price for July 2. It would be for a balcony that Princess will pick the location. I can add “Best3” for the additional $40 per person per day to include wifi, grats and drink package. I am unable to move the obc from xxxxxx from my Princess CVP ( ended up not booking it, and kept the November 22 cruise ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I upgraded to Princess us on my upcoming cruise by calling Princess, retained same cabin and booking number. In this case it was covered by existing FCC. I believe the OP believes the drink package is the entire Princess Plus package. Edited June 22, 2022 by Doug R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
