I just signed on to my account to check a few things. I pre-purchased a Plus Package for later this year. I "thought" I paid $50 a day only to be surprised that it turned out to be slightly more than that total. I attributed that to insurance and taxes since I hadn't made final payment yet.
We have been talking about $60/Plus and $80/Premier with 18% gratuity added on.
You can imagine my surprise when this popped up tonight for another cruise (final payment made).
I am more awake this morning.
Recap:
Booked a cruise a long time ago without Princess Plus (the all inclusive package)
Changed my mind, added Princess Plus (drinks, wifi, gratuities) @ $50/day
Charged: $53.50 per day.
I will never understand how Princess calculates things. 7%. (0.07) was added to the $50. Insurance is 8%. Taxes in CA is 9+%. Makes absolutely no sense to me.
