Package or no package there is no way I would eat one of those revolting "special desserts" and I refuse to make a laughing stock of myself at a fitness class!

It's such a shame they made the desserts look so revolting (lollypops and booze bottles? stale hard cake?). I think it's deliberate so they can advertise a 'benefit' which costs them nothing because no-one wants them!!!

The icon on your original post looks fine. I suspect it's a cruise critic thing - either a glitch or a pause until they approve it perhaps?

 

It's probably opening the version for you that's already on your computer, when you click on the link in the post.

Good thought about the download to my machine, but I realised after I uploaded that I had not changed the Rev # to C at I had altered it to include instructions. Changed the naming immediately after the post.

Each time I downloaded I got the Rev B copy.

 

So hoping its just your first thought above.

[Ozwoody]

Well somethings happened, just noticed that there are now 4 downloads, and I only done 3 test downloads.

Has someone succeeded or has a moderator had a look?

One final try, can someone right click the file, and then click on "open in new window"

and see what happens....

When I click on the link I still get the message that it is unavailable. I don't have the option to open in a new window.

It still says 'unavailable'. This is probably visible in your post quoted above.

No it just displays normal and downloads normal.

It must have to be something in CC's system that is marking it "Unavailable".

Whether security or a glitch??

Hopefully someone will pop up with an explanation....

 

Shame I really thought it would be helpful for Reina del Mar, with deciding if the Plus Package was worth it.

Its nice when you can check things, with what if I did this or that option.

How much cost would I actually spend on drinks over a cruise, is it worth getting a package, which one suits me best.

At least that is what I tried to do with the dam excel file. Bugger....

Anyway thanks guys for your input, really appreciate your input.

I think it's around $10pp per day for a single device. I'm not sure what it is for four devices.

[Reina del Mar]

Sounds about right..we paid $ 7.50US for South America in March …half of the $15 daily price..but who knows when they might change it;  in the hope more pax choose Plus or Premium ?

Currently according to Princess it is $15usd per day, which transfers to $23.50aud.

50% of for Plat/Elite = $11.75aud/day.

Pity my spreadsheet won't download its details are included in the calculator.😒

You can use the save function to save it to your computer.

Good luck trying to buy a bottle of wine on Princess for $42. If I remember correctly the cheap bottles of cask wine equivalent stuff are now over $50. You can buy a bottle of something drinkable you like at Dan Murphys for $15, carry it onboard and pay $30 per bottle corkage. That $45 total is cheaper than buying wine onboard, and you get better quality wine, but you have to cart it onboard yourself and wait while they record the details of every individual bottle and put a sticker on it.

Your right, bottle shown was one offered on P&O last Nov.

Purpose of calculator is to compare drink packages on ship.

The cell L25 is to put price of a bottle you select $50-55 may be a better current price, thanks.

Princess wine prices are very expensive. They charge $10 - $12 more per bottle than Carnival do for the same wine. I imagine P&O prices are more like Carnival, but I am just guessing, I do not know that from experience.

Haven't been on Princess since 2018, sailed P&O last Nov, will again this Oct.

Prefer Princess, but pricing seems heavy at the moment.🤷‍♀️

Always looking for current prices onboard.

 

Thanks
