I don’t like where that is headed 😞 There are two "plus" packages now, Princess Plus Package and Princess Premier Package. I think the extended "Black Friday" deal is a great one for those with the flexibility to take advantage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I confess I’m not familiar with the packages as they don’t suit us, but I am familiar with dessert! Are there now extra costs for “premium” desserts? That’s was my question.

Rare PrincessArlena'sDad Posted December 9, 2022 #5 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Will the full summer 2024 schedule be out in time for this promotion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JimmyVWine Posted December 9, 2022 #6 Share Posted December 9, 2022 It varies from year to year, and itinerary to itinerary. But I can attest that the booking that I made during last year's BSE promotion was absolutely the best all-in price for our Mediterranean Cruise, by a wide margin. None of the sales before or since have come close to what we got last Winter, as long as the Plus Package is of interest. Basically, in addition to good pricing, they included the Plus Package for "free". Yes, I know that nothing is "free." But this was not one of those sales where they jacked the price up by $300 and then gave you the $280 (7 x $40) Plus package for free. It was basically the same price as before, and with the Plus Package thrown in, and for us, that was for all three passengers, amounting to a $840 savings. (Price to upgrade to Premium was the usual $25 per day.) Now that Plus is $60 per day, a similar sale could be big. So I would take a hard look at the BSE offerings when they come out. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kywildcatfanone Posted December 9, 2022 #7 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Promotions are recycled, prices are adjusted. Maybe you would get a better deal, maybe not. There are only so many ways they can market new promotions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually, one or two TA's post the information here. Otherwise, ask your own TA specializing in Princess, assuming you have one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contact your CVP and have them email the list to you. Don't have one? Get one. CVP not letting you know? Get a new one. If you're an Elite frequent cruiser, you should receive this. It came out yesterday. Of course, at best, you'll only get the list by Monday the 12th at this point, but for the future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We booked a cruise about the same time and caught the same kind of deal - and I didn't even realize it until I went to look for a possible reduction a few months later and saw the price was $1500 more than what we paid for the 11 day cruise. Essentially we got the "Plus" package free along with a nice discount. We'll enjoy it over Christmas 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two new Special Desserts and Exercise Class will be included with the packages. It is just these 'new' desserts that are a premium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't access pricing until the general public. I sent an email to the Loyalty department asking to have someone check why I was not receiving any notices and have not heard back. Today, no notification either. A little frustrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italy52 Posted December 13, 2022 #25 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Can't get access to the sale even though we are Elite. 2 times Elite access has been a problem. I'm done -- I will just wait until tomorrow -- disappointed with Princess at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
