Boiler Cruiser Posted January 25 #1 Share Posted January 25 I just noticed on the Princess website that when booking a cruise, you are no longer given the option of choosing the Premium Package, only the Plus Package. Is that a new wrinkle? Is the Premier Package no longer available? If not, what is the reason(s) it was eliminated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted January 25 #2 Share Posted January 25 Not totally sure about this (since I don't have a booking right now) but I believe that there is a new tab in the cruise personalizer that deals with upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Select your cabin, the at the top of the page, you’ll see Standard, Plus, Premier Click on the one you want. If you don’t see that, then a glitch. Call your TA/CVP or PCL to book for you, 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nasa1974 Posted January 27 #5 Share Posted January 27 I know this has been asked before. If Princess Plus is purchased onboard does the cost go into you folio to pay at the end of the cruise or do you have to pay for it at time of purchase? Thanks.

My question piggybacks on this - if I add Plus when I board, I too wondered if it charges to my folio (assuming it does) but my 12 year old is my second passenger in my room. Will he also be charged the $60/day rate even though he would only be getting the Zero Alcohol Package? We are sailing on a 10 day Enchanted cruise in March and this does not seem like a great deal since I don’t drink much. Thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a child will be charged the full price of Princess Plus even if just receiving the zero alcohol beverage package. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The non-alchohol package costs $35, crew appreciation is $16 and wifi is $25. If you don't plan on getting wifi you will probably be better off to just do Standard Fare and pay as you go for beverages. I hope this helps! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nasa1974 Posted January 27 #9 Share Posted January 27 @mgoblue01 Thanks for asking the question you did. I didn't think about my 9 year old grandson who will be with me in the room. His parents and sisters are in the room next to us. 🙂 @SKCruiser007 @jean-lynd Thank you for your responses. I can get Wi-Fi at 50% off and have some OBC. Doing the math, it looked like getting Princess Plus might be the better deal. It isn't if I have to get it for my grandson as well once onboard.

But the the separate beverage package cost is so high that may as well buy the Plus for the kid as they would likely consume beverages each day and be over $60 in no time.

victory2020 Posted January 27 #11 Share Posted January 27 What about this scenario, mt friends have 2 kids so have to book one adult in each room, then change arrangements once onboard ( kids are 17 & 15). One they have the 2 adults registered to one room can they get the Plus package for that room only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beshears Posted January 28 #12 Share Posted January 28 All I know is our cruise was already paid for, but we had NOT put the REQUIRED information into the system. When we did that, we also ordered the Premier Package for us, and that was charged on the credit card then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, technically it will still be one adult per room even though the kids and adults can get access to all doors. We used to do this when the kids were young as well. All 4 need package if the adults want it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t need one adult per room 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are a family group traveling with a legal guardian then the 17 & 15 year old's can be booked into a separate cabin. The two adults can also be in a separate cabin. The two adults can get the plus or premier package and the youth could get the standard package. If you booked one adult and one youth in two separate cabins then both the adult and the youth would have to get the plus or premier package if the adult got it. But note. If one of the youths is not travelling with a legal guardian then there must be one adult booked into each cabin. You can change around once on board, but I don't know you will be able to change the packages around. With the plus fare the youths would get the non alcoholic package. But with the way youth use wifi it may be the way to go. You have to do the math. For family groups booking multiple staterooms, the minimum age for at least one person in each stateroom is 16 years of age, provided they are traveling with a parent or legal guardian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landlocked12 Posted January 29 #16 Share Posted January 29 Our travel agent booked our teenagers in a separate cabin. She said that the teenagers needed to be in the next cabin or directly across the hall from the adults’ cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering though, if getting the plus for the father (who drinks) & son, & the 2 girls don't get the package. The father could upgrade to 4 internet devices, correct?

We are trying to figure out how to make it work, Hubby is listed as 1st passenger, but he doesn't want the plus, Me #2 and Daughter #3 do. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
