Can you even purchase the package after you board? How would gratuity work for the first day? I was under the impression that you had to decide at the time of booking or pay al a carte once on board.

You can buy onboard and use OBC to pay for it. For me, that is the best way to do it as I have $400 in OBC on my next 7 night cruise.

On all the ships we have sailed on since the restart, on embarkation day there has been a crew member standing   at the aft elevators on the Lido deck trying to sell the drink packages.  They have a nice  display set up with posters and various licqour bottles, coffee, etc.

Drink packages but plus and premiere includes wifi gratuity and other items like specialty dining and fitness classes.

They are far more ubiquitous than that, the first ones you will see are right in the Piazza as you first board the ship. When we boarded the Emerald last month in Boston a crew member was walking through the embarkation area selling packages even before we boarded the ship.

I should have said selling the plus/premier packages.   Like Coral posted, we will also use OBC to purchase Plus for our Nov cruise.

Here’s the information from a recent Patter,the dark blue box is difficult to read,but it says upgrade on embarkation day in the princess cruises app or with a Crew member .

48 hours after boarding the package upgrades option won’t be available.

 

You pay for every day/ night of your voyage if you upgrade from standard to plus or plus to premier, does not matter if you purchased it prior to your cruise or two hours after you get onboard or 10 hours after you get onboard, etc.

If you plan on drinking anything that comes with a cost or using the Wi-Fi then it’s best to purchase it right away ( onboard) so you get all the benefits

To add to my above post, even though it’s been on many threads. If you would like to purchase the plus package, it is $60 per day , for length of voyage ,per person for the first two passengers in the cabin.( both have to purchase)

Premier cruise package is $90./day per length of voyage per person.

So if you’re on a 7 day cruise, the total cost for two passengers for the plus cruise package is $840 usd.

Obviously , just do the math for a 10 day cruise, 14 day cruise, etc.

There is no proration if you purchase it once onboard let’s say 12 hours after you embark.

Quite a few passengers have lots of onboard credit that they wish to use and that is the only way they can purchase it -once they get onboard.

I have no idea, but I'd suggest a visit to Guest Services to ask.

Yes- must be purchased for entire cruise.  Why would you wait until day 2?

Princess Plus or Premier Purchase on Day Two, Do you get charged for day one?

 

We know how to do the math, have all the handouts, etc.

 

Is there someone who has purchased the bundle on day TWO, are you charged for day one? 

 

Not interested in hearsay, or speculation from cruisers who haven't cruised in many years.

And it is a package that cannot be altered by customer. Read the full terms and conditions on Princess website!

They are charging you by the night.   If you sail Saturday to Saturday you only pay up to Friday night as you disembark on Sat morning. I don't know why Princess measures itineraries in days while others advertise with nights? I think it makes more sense to use nights as you are actually on for full nights. Embarkation day and disembarkation day are only 1/2 days.

Arizonaperson, so if I am reading you right for the Premier Package for two, at $90 pp, per day, it would be $1,190.00, correct?

I thought both.2 guests need to have the same package. Are you saying one can have the old package and one the new one ?  Is the person with the new package going to abandon their friend on all but 2 SD’s
