ISABELLA Posted July 2 #1 Share Posted July 2 Back in May, on board of Sun Princess, we booked a cruise on Star Princess from Barcelona to Fort Lauderdale for next year. Price was great and included PP. Now, our friends want to join us and there is only Princess Plus is available. Does anyone know why this is a case? Any info is greatly appreciated.

The packages are limited in amounts. If everyone booked premier they would not be able to accommodate the specialty dinners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BazingAu Posted July 2 #3 Share Posted July 2 Is it actually not available or is it just not showing online/app - lots of pricing glitches due to the updates, so not sure if it's a glitch or actually unavailable? Did you check with a TA or CVP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare J13C85 Posted July 3 #4 Share Posted July 3 7 hours ago, memoak said: The packages are limited in amounts. If everyone booked premier they would not be able to accommodate the specialty dinners Based on OP,s start and finish, their cruise should be on Oct/Nov of 2025. As that would be over a year our and that seems a little early for a package to be sold out. That said, remember on Star and Sun, all suite guests now get the Premier Package built in to their cruise fare. If what @memoak said abive is true (and I have no reason to doubt them), this would also limit the number of Premiere packages available to sell to non suite guests. Of course, I was looking at a full suite on Enchanted for Nov 2025 and the only option was plus (kind of blows my theory, LOL) so I lean toward glitch.

dog Posted July 3 #5 Share Posted July 3 Is the category an inside? I have a S9 and I can book it for Nov in Star. I booked before the packages were included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robncruise Posted July 3 #6 Share Posted July 3 Premier packages have not been available for booking on any cruises I have looked at for the past 10 days or so. I am in NZ and had been wondering if it was my browser as had not read any reports from any other cruisers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how undersold the OP’s sailing is at the moment, and how far out it is, I doubt the Premier package is sold out. This cruise was originally 16 days from Southampton and is now 14 days out of Barcelona. Many people have canceled over the last couple of months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReidRGetALife Posted July 3 #8 Share Posted July 3 Refresh the page and the Premier package will show. Happened twice to me this morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreaminofcruisin Posted July 3 #9 Share Posted July 3 I'm looking at a cruise for a family group next year. I noticed that if I mock-book with 4 people I see the option of both Plus and Premier. If I mock-book with 2 people I only see Plus. Pretty sure it's a bug. Either call Princess or book without it and add it after you book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie83 Posted July 3 #10 Share Posted July 3 I noticed this bug back in May. Some, but not all itineraries were impacted then. Princess did fix the bug before end of May. Appears that the bug has been reintroduced. If you're on Twitter (aka X), post a Tweet to @PrincessCruises with the problem. It's about the only method I'm aware of to let them know about bugs and other issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That too only shows Plus available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISABELLA Posted July 3 Author #13 Share Posted July 3 We are booked in Deluxe balcony. I will suggest our friends to call Princess. Hopefully it will work. Thank you all for suggestions and opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
