Is Princess Prizes always included with Princess Premier

[Nathanh]

The reason I'm asking is that I have noticed on the Australian Princess website there is no mention of Princess Prizes as part of the premier package and I'm doing a cruise out of the UK in three weeks.

It is showing up on the 2 UK cruises we have booked with premier.

We have sailed 3 times now with Premier.  Prizes is *supposed* to be included in the package.  That "package recap" page you showed does not always list it but it is included.

Are there gambling laws in Australia that would prohibit prizes that don't apply to cruises originating out of Europe and North America?

Hmmmm, good question. I cannot give an answer to that one.

Princess prizes used to be part of Premier packages in Australia, but no longer. I can't recall the exact date it changed (last year), but any Premier bookings after that date had the prizes removed from the package.

 

I put it down to a cost thing to keep the $AU95 packages in check. I don't think it is an Aussie law issue, as it applies to all Princess cruises purchased from Australia/New Zealand, and you can still purchase Princess prizes separately after you board.
