---WHAT’S INCLUDED ON PRINCESS CRUISES----
0:00 Introduction
----EVERYTHING INCLUDED IN A PRINCESS CRUISES VACATION----
Your cruise fare on Princess covers the cost of your stateroom for the duration of the trip, including daily service by a stateroom attendant.
The type of cabin you choose will be the biggest factor when determining your total cruise costs.
Additionally, guests can enjoy three meals a day included in the standard cruise fare on every Princess Cruises’ ship.
Like most cruise lines, Princess Cruises’ main dining rooms offer a multi-course rotational menu that changes nightly. With Dine My Way, guests have the flexibility to choose when and where they eat each evening of the cruise.
Princess Cruises also offers several more casual dining spots that are also included in your cruise fare. Some of these options include the International Café, Alfredo’s & Gigi’s Pizzerias for the best pizza at sea, grill favorites by the pool, and the World Fresh Marketplace buffet.
Further, there is always something to do on a Princess Cruises’ ship that will not cost anything. These complimentary activities include trivia, demonstrations, dance classes, lectures, and the signature Movies Under the Stars. There is also a gym, sports court, and a kid’s program.
There will also be signature entertainment in the main theater. From headliner acts to Broadway-style productions, you don’t want to miss out on these shows.
Of course, there is live music throughout the ship in the evenings as well as plenty of bars serving up your favorite cocktails. While the music is free, the drinks will cost extra.
Regardless of your interests, there is plenty to do, see, and eat while on your Princess Cruises’ vacation without paying anything extra.
However, there are also several upgraded experiences and add-ons that are not included in the cruise fare.
----WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED ON PRINCESS CRUISES----
Cruise gratuities are services charges that are not included in the standard cruise fare, similar to a hotel resort fee. These additional fees are a per person, per day dollar amount that are charged to all guests across all stateroom categories.
Princess Cruises will transport you to several exciting ports of call. Unfortunately, shore excursions are not part of the cruise fare either.
Further, you will need to purchase an internet package if you want to stay in touch with family and friends, as WiFi is not part of the cruise fare.
While there are many dining venues covered in the cruise fare, Princess Cruises also offers up-charge dining venues. From the signature steakhouse Crown Grill to the Italian trattoria Sabatini’s and the French Bistro Sur La Mer, there are a variety of upscale dining options on Princess ships that will cost you extra money.
As you might expect, alcoholic beverages are not included in the standard Princess cruise fare either. Beverages like specialty coffees, soft drinks, bottled water, and energy drinks are all an additional fee too. If you plan to consume any of these beverages on a regular basis, you should consider purchasing a drink package.
Or, you could upgrade to the Princess Plus or Princess Premier pricing options when booking your cruise. These packages make your cruise more all-inclusive by adding in extra items like a drink package, WiFi, crew gratuities, and more.

Have you sailed with Princess Cruises? Do you often pay for extras on your cruise?
Is Jai Singh name staff in there working in this cruise from India?
@@jw5425 there is a lady on utube that has a review of every cruise her friend and herself take! They purposely take the cheapest cruises out there with the cheapest room. I searched and found it yesterday but cannot remember her channel. The average cost of the cruises they go on including excursions are around 475.00 a person! You might look for “ how to cruise on a budget”.
No I eat in the main dining room or buffet
Princess has the worst
PCL is one of our top favorite cruise lines, second only to Virgin Cruises. We love the medallion system in combination w/ Ocean Now. It makes everything sooo simple, it’s unbelievable! It needs to be implemented across every single ship in the Carnival company’s overall wheelhouse.
So to answer your question…
We rarely spend anything extra on the cruise because the goodies you get are so numerous, why pay for more.
The Drink Package…
My husband and I aren’t big drinkers so there’s never been a need to purchase the drink package. We could never drink the daily allotment. Believe me, we’ve tried. 😅
The Ship’s Wi-Fi…
The standard ship’s Wi-Fi is the absolute best at sea! It’s like being at home! But, yes there is a but… The Wi-Fi in Alaska is distressing at best. 😅 There were issues the entire 7 day trip. Most folks on board, regardless of the Wi-Fi package they had, suffered with a gambit of different issues. But the thing is, in all honesty, we really didn’t care. We spent so much time taking photos off our balcony and up on deck because there’s just so much beauty to see!
Specialty Dinning…
We’ve sailed enough so we have cruising perks so we’ve never had to pay for any specialty dining. But I will say this, we if didn’t have any of those perks we’d splurge on them. The food is absolutely wonderful.
That being said, our Alaskan Princess cruise is our absolute favorite cruise that we’ve been on over the years. The wildlife you get to experience without even having to leave the ship, amazing! The peace and tranquility, the landscape, the waters… Oh my gosh, it’s so stunningly beautiful. It’s truly awe inspiring.
The ports of call are so great. Our favorite was Ketchikan, Alaska. We fell in love with the entire town and it’s people. The Totem Bar is a great little hole in the wall bar and it’s fantastic! Everyone was so warm and inviting. The elders of transplant local are absolutely adorable! We’ve gotten the idea in our heads that Ketchikan is where we’re definitely going to retire! Hands down, it’s the absolute best!
For anyone who’s going on their 1st Alaskan cruise, the best way to sail is in a balcony/balcony deluxe room! Port side is the best side. 🥰
You didn’t mention…the international cafe open 24hrs with snacks etc is free BUT the coffee is NOT you have to pay if you want a regular coffee or espresso ..cappuccino ANY coffee there you have to pay
Free coffee is only at buffet and main dining rooms
Would really like to see them (and other cruise lines) offer a discounted Plus and Premier package that excludes alcohol for guests who don't drink.
we just didnt get the drink package...
Most Cruiselines offer a “soda” package. Ask the cruiseline or your travel agent for info and pricing.
Great vlog. We love Princess. We prefer not to waste our money on the drinks packages. Basically, you need to have about 5 cocktails per day to break even - why bother! We don't go cruising to get tipsy or drunk. We do buy wifi as it is useful and at $10 per day - so worth it. If we feel like alcohol then we will pay for a drink. Same with a latte' or other decent coffee. Our on board credit allowance will cover those costs.
You can bring a bottle of wine on board to have in your room - that's 3 or 4 cheap drinks.
One tip is to buy a furure cruise credit when on board ($100)- You can use that as your next deposit for a cruise and if you don't use it within 18 mths, you can get it refunded. The benefit of a FCC is that it also is an additional on board credit. Basically, free drink money. We actually buy 2 each at a time to book cruises in advance. very useful.
Glad you enjoyed the video. We appreciated your tips.
This is our first time to Alaska and first on Princess. We been waiting since 2019, rebooked 2020, 2021, & now 2022 we sail in 15 days. Thanks to FCC and re booking due to Covid we were able to upgrade to a mini suite, we got free unlimited internet for 10 days, we got free pre paid tips and free premium beverage packages which includes, coffee, soda, shakes, alcohol, etc & free dining for a specialty restaurant:)
We just got back from a California Costal Cruise on Discovery Princess. What a wonderful ship and cruise! We did get the Princess Plus package and I'm glad we did. I loved everything about the cruise--the food, the service, the entertainment. We had a very small balcony room. We will upgrade next time. I loved the Medallion being able to open doors, find your ship mates, and order food and drinks. I did not care for the port of Ensenada. It was an extremely dirty port/border city, where children ran the streets selling their trinkets and junk. Our guide, however, was very good. I participated in Zumba, line dancing, trivia, and some of the game shows. While I was dancing, my husband went to the gym or walked the track. We put on 8,000 to 14,000 steps a day. We had a ball and are looking forward to our next cruise, hopefully next year.
We had Ensenada as a port as well and it was disgusting. There was a horrible smell as soon as we stepped off the ship. I wish Princess would find another port that passengers would enjoy.
I couldn’t agree more! We just concluded the same itinerary on Discovery Princess, the ship is simply stunning. We loved everything the cruise product had to offer. Food, service were incredible.
I love Princess cruises. I did a Northern Europe cruise last year. It was great. I have two cruise booked on the Enchanted cruises for 2024 and 2025. Thanks for your information. It was thorough
This was a very thorough review/explanation of what is/isn't included. I'm glad you mentioned the Princess Plus/Premier options near the end of the video. These seem like really good deals depending on how much alcohol/soda/juices/cocktails/mocktails/bottled water/specialty & brewed coffees one drinks along with devices used to connect to the internet. We always eat about two times at the specialty restaurants during a week long cruise, enjoy wine, cocktails, bottled water and sodas so the Premier might make sense for us. Really looking forward to our next cruise. Thank you for the video!
I would suggest the premier package for you. While you get wifi, prepaid gratuities and alcohol/specialty coffee/smoothies/mocktails with Princess Plus, you also get 2 specialty dining with the premier package, daily fitness classes and unlimited digital photos plus 3 prints of your choice. I purchased Princess plus and will upgrade to premier once on board to pay the difference out of my onboard credit. Since I will be celebrating my birthday and 6th wedding Anniversary, we will get photos done during formal nights so the premier package will offer what we need for memories of our trip. My husband is an athlete so we’ll both enjoy the daily fitness classes too, which you usually purchase extra for (2 classes per week are allowed under the Princess Plus package).
Did a Trans Atlantic on the Emerald Princess in April and have 2 Alaska cruises scheduled for June and July on the Royal and Majestic. Golden Princess to Alaska in 2018. Love this line. I do cruise Royal, Carnival and MSC often since I live in Florida.
We are taking the Royal Princess next year to Alaska. We are excited about, looks nice. We have previously only cruised Norwegian and our last experience wasn’t good so we decided to try Princess for our Alaska itinerary.
Princess is the best for Alaska! Great choice. ❤
Going on my first cruise ever in March! Sailing to Belize, Honduras, and Mexico. Seemed like the Plus Pkg was a no brainer. I did not want the surprise amount due at the end!
Smart move! It’s always nice to have the drinks and prepaid gratuities applied before you cruise so no surprises, like you said.
On Australian cruises, the gratuity is included in our fare( usually more expensive because of this) don’t get duped into paying these again. We usually pay our favourite crew members on top of this.
Going to Alaska on Princess in July. Can’t wait🏖
How was it?? Looking into what cruise line and itinerary is best for Alaska
I'd like to know how it was too. I'm planning to go next year
Thank you for some very helpful and useful information that was well presented. Although a seasoned cruiser, I am about to embark on my first Princess voyage in August and now know what to expect.
August 11, 2024 from San Francisco to Alaska round trip. Thanks for your reply. It's assuring.
Happy to help. That sounds like an amazing itinerary. Happy cruising!
We are going this Friday, first time with Princess, been on cunard - RCI and mainly Pand O before now. The drins packaage was a big decider for us - 40 bucks a day that includes gratuities, wifi and up to 15 drinks - it's a no brainer.
Have a great cruise.
No more $40 plus, I booked on Nov 22.22, the he plus program is $50 per day per person.
Exactly!
We are in Australia. We have sailed on 6 Princess cruises and love it. They are just returning here at the moment after the Covid setback and we may cruise again next year. With Princess cruises out of and returning to Australia gratuities are not automatic. We tip staff individually.
The gratuities are added into our fare. But yes I also tip favourite staff.
Hi DB, great video regarding the Princess line. I'm certain for first timers it was very informative while also giving seasoned cruisers a refresher course. In one week we're on the Celebrity Summit for a 10 night Bermuda and Charleston SC cruise. Can't wait. Hi from Bob and Jill in Connecticut
How was the cruise? I’m looking to plan a surprise one with my future wife and we’ve never been on one. Would love to hear about your experience. Have a nice one.
This review is so clear and precise. Thank you!!
We will be sailing to Alaska in September. Looking forward to that experience.
Glad it was helpful!
Agree.Very clear.Good job.Tks.
Really useful video. I sailed on Regal Princess last year and really enjoyed their inclusions. I'm actually heading to Alaska with 2 friends (who are new to Princess), so this will be really useful for them - thanks for posting!
Glad you found the video helpful.
Considering them for 2023 or 2024. Looks great and definitely appreciate the video. I am cruising Carnival primarily so I'm looking for new experiences. Thanks!
I love princess and will always go back to me for the price it's well worth it
You picked a difficult subject and I really appreciate your hard work! You mentioned about entertainment at several bars and lounges. Someone please explain for us newbies how standard fare cruisers can enjoy these bar and lounge entertainments with our standard fare class. Do we just walk into the bar/lounge with a glass of water from an included restaurant? I find the Princess Padder does not tell you which items are inclusive and which are not. For example the Padder you show in the video has 7:00am Total Body Conditioning in Fitness Center (included?);10:30am Live Acupuncture in Crown Grill (included?); and 11:00am Master Hair Class in Take 5 (included?). The Padder to me is kind of like a restaurant menu with no prices, and we'll tell you after you order (look at your folio). Anyway, thanks for taking on this important subject!
This ship looks gorgeous. We can’t wait to sail on it 🚢 ❤️
Thank you! Great shots and voice over 👏
Excellent video! Thank you very much
You are welcome! Happy cruising.
Each cruise is unique to its own. Princess does not offer too many speciality restaurants. Usually 2 or 3 at the most.
How many do you need? 🤷♀️. There’s also the buffet and main dining room, as well as room seevice. No need to be a food pig. You’ll never go hungry.
@@fluffytail6355 nobody is a pig. it is a just fair judgment.
Sailing on the Crown Princess to Alaska in June 2023!!!
Our First ever cruise!!!
Have a great cruise.
Regarding the three-meals a day, what qualifies as a meal? Are any foods simply considered a snack and don’t go against meal count?
I think Princess should get you to do their videos! excellent audio and video presentation.
Thanks. We will let Princess know. 🤞🤞
Thanks for all the helpful information!
Glad it was helpful.
One can choose to have tips, drinks and wi-fi included at a complete cruise fare.
Yes, we detail those options at the end of the video. Princess now offers two upgrade packages.
Thanks so much I've gone on Royal and was disappointed by the food changes.
Do you need to tip for room service, for food and/or drinks? Is there a charge? What about drinks delivered to your pool lounger? Have the full drink package! Want to be prepared.
You don’t need to tip for either service. Most food items are complimentary for room service or food ordered via the app.
You alway have to give tip to crew cos they work very hard 12 hours per day to earn some money 😏They will respect u more and always give u fresh food and drinks 🤗🤗
The gratuity fee covers for all staff and crew, but some services (like the spa and salon) comes with an added gratuity on your bill.
Thanks you for some very useful in formation
It's my pleasure
Never been on Princess before. Have always cruised NCL; latest was the NCL Encore. Princess will probably be our cruise line thru the Panama Canal since NCL just cancelled our cruise for January 2024.
Sorry to hear your cruise was cancelled. We think you'll enjoy Princess. Have a great trip.
Going on our first cruise and really considering princess as it seems to be the most all inclusive with the least number of extras. Looking at celebrity too. Both seem similar can you offer any insight as to what we would enjoy more?
Gord Allen, both Princess Cruises and Celebrity have good reputations. Depending on your preferences (e.g., dining options, cuisines, activities, categories of cabin, health & fitness), you might find one slightly better than the other. Princess is part of the Carnival Group (which comprises nine cruise-lines, including Holland America), whilst Celebrity is the premium cruise-line in the Royal Caribbean group. From all that I have read, Royal Caribbean has the best loyalty-programme for most travellers, and the most benefits from the earlier tiers. So do your research and comparison not only by ship and class of ship within a fleet, but also across cruise-lines....
Talk to your travel agent. Depending on the dates and itinerary you’re looking at, the decision may be easier than you think!
Whatever price you see in the first screen, assume you're going to pay twice that amount by the time your trip is done. So many fees are not included in the first screen, as you go through next screens, you'll see how things add up quickly, crew gratuities, this fee, that fee, tax, etc. I'm talking about just cruise price without wifi, drinks and excursions.
Platinum users use to get some free internet and giftcard store credit. Princess cruise is cutting corners and charges and over price $10 ish for internet a day or more.
Great information
Well done!
Thanks Karen!
I am going to sail with Princess Cruises first time with them in 2024 and I got a good deal in Australia for my cruise to the Pacific Islands and Fiji I am looking forward to it on Majestic Princess
Princess 110 Days World Cruise ex Sydney 2024 , For Self and Wife Also Balcony Cabin/ Princess Plus Fare/ W/F And Gratuities. Will.Food And Drinks Ordered To Our Cabin Incur Service Charge ?First Time Cruise B And K
Wow! First cruise is going to be a world cruise, that is amazing. Princess ships with medallion offer free room service delivery for several menu items, some are an up charge.
Great video! Hoping to leave in less than 20 days! 😃
Ah, I'm very jealous - I'll be following you in 45 days!
Thank you so much for the video! I will hopefully be taking my first cruise with them next year from LA all the way to Sydney! If anyone could give me some insight on money saving tips while on board such a long cruise it would be much appreciated :)
It's a floating 'Butlins Holiday Camp'.
Not sure what the speaker is trying to tell us. ALL cruises have night clubs, entertainment, bars. ALL cruises transport you to new locations. ALL cruises offer wifi. ALL cruises have specialty restaurants and offer wines. ALL cruises have coffee, water, ice cream, smoothies, sodas, etc. ALL cruises have spas.
The difference (and why I no longer go on Princess) is that they charges extra for these. There are silly clubs for wine, coffee, water, sodas and ice cream. You must purchase wifi and pay for excursions and "good food" at specialty restaurants. Many lines, particularly high-end, include all this (and tips) in a single price.
Don't expect first time cruisers to be aware of all that.
What do you recommend then
@@gabrielaharmonia5002 After umpteen cruises we are growing tired. Even VIking has deteriorated in terms of food and customer service. If I had to choose it would be Oceania - without a doubt the best food at sea, incredible service, fantastic rooms. 1-1 ratio of customers to crew.
We're looking for the new, the different. No more diamond shops, cathedrals, castles or cliff views. Recently took back to back tours of London and Paris (nine days each) and it was very nice.
A cruise booked in Australia, for anywhere else in the world, DOES NOT include Crew Appreciation with Princess Plus or Princess Premier.
EXCELLENT VIDEO SOME GREAT INFORMATION 😁
Questions ❓ Does Princess Cruise line have a theme/costume night❓ I've been on a carnival ship once before and that was a lot of fun
Thanks
Time to update or take it down..dozens of things have changed on Princess Cruises since last month.
Most videos I have seen from different cruise lines, as well as several bloggers, have yet to show close views of the pools. My concern, and question, may not be one that too many people care about, but as a senior adult who loves to cruise but has had several falls and broken bones, I found myself on a ship whose swimming pool had no steps to get into it only ladders - my friend convinced me to swim, which this might be a funny story one day but it wasn’t then, I ended up being stuck in the pool! A passerby was very helpful in putting their arms around and under my shoulders to lift me. Mortifying. My question is, is there a way to find out what Princess ships actually have steps going into their pools. I really want to cruise again as I haven’t since before the Covid pandemic, but I also want to be able to swim and get back out of the pool.
We just got back from our Alaskan cruise at the Ruby Princess. Only the Terrace Pool (located at the back of Deck 15) has stairs.
@@krisandres2011 thank you!
Thanks for the vid and Information. We are on an Alaskan Cruise on the Grand Princess Sept 9-20 2023. Sea and Land package. 4 if us in a Mini Suite, 1 Princess Plus (better) Package. We don’t drink alcohol so adult children get some liquid cheer and the wife and I can get some specialty coffee. Wi-Fi for the wife and Gratuity for passenger 1-2. Some Salmon fishing in one of the port stop and shipping salmon to my house. Landing on a glacier in Denali. Spas and treatments for the women and not sure what for the son-in law. He’ll probably keep his hands in his pockets do his money doesn’t fly out. LoL
Very cool. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the comment.
Does the mini suite fit in 4 comfortably? Do they have two rooms or there is a sofa bed for the 3rd and 4th guest? Thanks for reply.
@@jasbirkaur5795 the mini suite that I booked will sleep 4 comfortably but I don’t know if all mini suites will. But they are not separate rooms, just some space between the two sleeping areas. Both areas do have there own TVs if that matters.
@@jasbirkaur5795 and yes there is a sofa bed with memory foam mattress for the 3rd & 4th guest
Hey, This Was My Comment A Year Ago. That Trip Did Not Pan Out But My Daughter And I are Going In 85 Days, Same Package, Same Itinerary, Same Ship Even. Hope To Meet Good People While On This Journey.
Hello! I might come on this cruise in 2023. But can you tell me, would you be seasick?
Do you get motion sickness on amusement rides? Large ships are pretty steady and we have never had issues with seasickness. You can also purchase sea bands which some find helpful.
No,you wont feel the ship movin
Is hot chocolate free on princess cruises?
When I spoke to Princess they said wifi is now $20 per person per day!
Hi, we appreciate this video thanks for all the info.
May i ask if the Princes Plus will still be good if one me does drink and the wife doesn’t. Is it better to be just pay as your order for drinks? What would you prefer. Many thanks
It is probably worth upgrading, to get things like the internet, and specialty non-alcoholic drinks, like virgin smoothies, espresso based drinks, soda and other drinks like powerade and zero proof cocktails.
Can you rent jet ski’s on Princess Cays? Cost?
Do you have to pay gratitude or can you remove this charge and tip where you see fit?
You should keep the service charge on your account
So are you allowed to pay this separately and have it reversed after it's automatically added to you invoice???
Does the sun princess have a sports court onboard? football, basketball etc?
How kid friendly are these ships? Done Disney a lot, Royal and planning on cruising on one of the newer Carnival ships soon also. But we are interested in doing Alaska and Princess was recommended to me for that!
How old are your kids? Royal also has ships in Alaska. Really depends on what your kids like to do for fun.
Princess isn’t geared toward kids. Look at RCI instead.
First time on Princess ...We fly to NY .. from UK Please. Can we use our on board credit for speciality dinning? We have booked a Plus package.. mini suite... Thank you..
Really enjoyed the information 👍👍
Yes you can use the OBC for specialty dining. Have a great cruise.
Your OBC can be used for any charges on board except for casino.
great info thanks! will be sailing to Alaska on Discovery Princess in May. Do you know if you can use the internet cafe once or twice and the price rather than buying WiFi for the week?
Yes
Was wondering which cruise travel agent did u use
Hi thanks for informative post. We be on Diamond Princess for a cruise around Japan next month. Wondering if it’s allow to bring a Young Living diffuser for use in the cabin?
How was your Japan trip? Thinking if we should do it with our teens
Wow this is amazing so beautiful...
Yeah, give us a listing detail of all the extras and prices
Do you see glacier on inside passage? Or national glacier bay better to get? Thank you.
We prefer glacier bay park.
What does crew gratuities mean with Princess Plus? Is that the daily tip?
Yes, that’s the daily service charge. When is your next cruise?
Preparing for our first Princess cruise. My question is has anyone had difficulty with adding information on the Medallion app? When onboard do you have to purchase a wifi package to use the Medallion app or is it free? We've heard many stories that it does not work. What advice can you give if it really is a issues.
The Medallion app is an embarrassment for the Princess brand. It's difficult, time consuming, intrusive and faulty. Let them know.
You don’t need wifi to use the medallion app
Does the buffet offer any Asian food? Like could you order white rice and chicken teriyaki?
Buffet selections vary everyday, but they do offer some Asian style options.
Question: If a person has a drink package, can you order, say a double rum and coke and because it is under the max. cost for the drink package, is this considered, one drink or two?
I SAW MY GRANDPA THERE
Thanks for all the information!
Can passengers bring their own wine to drink at dinner? This is allowed on Royal Caribbean.
I believe each adult passenger can bring one bottle of wine/champagne on board with no charge, anything after that you have to pay a corkage fee on.
If you bring the bottle to DR, you will be charge a corkage fee of about $15. You can have server "hold" the bottle for the next day.
You can bring a drink to consume in your room. Take it to the dining room then you pay corkage. Look at the fine print for your cruise and it tells you what and how much is allowed.
I wonder whether you can help. I note that gratuities are charged per day. If you board at 16.00 on one day and depart at 06.30 on another day, do these days contribute 2 days or 1 day to the overall charge?
The gratuities are per day, it doesn’t matter when you board. If your cruise is 7 nights, the charge is 7 * 16 = 112 per person.
If you purchased the plus package,would it cover glass of wine when you dine in the main dinning room or the specialty restaurant? Thank you
Yes, all beverages up to the allotment are included at all venues, including both complementary and up charge restaurants. When are you cruising?
Can you cancel the graturity and pay cash as you see fit?
You can but only douches do that…
When cruising, my wife and I add on the wifi and the soda drink package (we don't drink alcohol). Does the Princess Plus package still make sense, or would we be better off with paying the regular fair and just buying wifi and the soda drink package separately?
It would be close. Given the price of the Plus package just want up, you might be better off paying a la Carte, especially if you don’t drink any alcohol.
Does the Crown Princess have a recumbent bike in the gym?
Looking into my first cruise in 2024. When you book, will they take the full cruise payment or is there an option to make payments?
Depends how far in advance you book. Final payment is usually due within 90 days. So if you book 6 months out you can make payments.
I paid $200, rest is due in November for February cruise2024
Thanks!
Are meals limited to 3 per day? I normally eat 5x per day, smaller than traditional American meals
Food is available 24/7 so you can eat throughout the day.
When will you have a cruise that go around the entire South America?
What is the premier package and what does it contain
It’s a new upgrade package that includes the new beverage package, Wi-Fi for 4 devices, crew appreciation, 2 specialty dinners, and photo package.
On the Princess cruise line Alaskan land/sea cruises are the meals at the lodges included??
No. You can pay for them in advance.
My issue with all the changes since 2020 is how irrelevant the Captain Circle loyalty program has become. Before as a platinum level, I received a lot of great perks. Now, they are all rubbish and I don't have any loyalty to remain with Princess anymore. My next cruise is in 60 days and I will see how it goes, but I am not expecting too much from it. In comparison my last cruise prior to COVID was awesome because of all the platinum level benefits.
I am also a platinum member but I won't book with princess because of their uncomfortable beds and their handling of my complaint. Especially the rude British lady that was the hotel manager, treated me in my 40s like a whinning child well I was in serious pain. Never again. On a happy note msc will match the status.
Everything has changed since COVID. Everyone is cutting back from grocery stores to restaurants. Get used to the new normal.
Correction: The "service fee" is NOT a "required amount."
We’ll be doing a Mediterranean cruise with Princess. Do we need special adapters to be able to charge our devices?
Do most people go on the excursions? Or can you go on your own?
E o melhor do mundo ja vigei 5 vezes
It used to be sauna and steam rooms free entering through the restroom at the spa. Is it still available?
The steam room and saunas have not been free on our cruises.
Do they have disabled accessible rooms with accessible bathrooms
Yes, they have accessible cabins. You can select that at the booking phase.
We are going on the Majestic Princess in May to Alaska. We have filled in everything on the app. That was painful. However we went from the blue lane to the green lane now back to the blue lane. Apparently they said there is a problem this was a week ago. How long to fix this i wonder.
If you book cruise on cruise web site and don't go through pvp you don't get the extra perks 🤔 I am wondering if cruise line is cutting back on the extras now you can upgrade too their packages levels that include what use too be free
Are drink tips included in the the first package mentioned in the video that includes drinks, gratuities and wifi
Is there coffee pots in the rooms?
No coffee pots in the rooms.
I just booked an Alaskan Cruise on the Royal Princess. I want to purchase 2- 7 day passes for the enclave. The cost is $149. But on the app it states that there will be an 18% service fee at time of use. I am trying to find out if this is a one time fee or will we be charged each time we would use the enclave. The sales person @ Princess 800# keeps telling me each time I use it. That seems unlikely??Or hardly worth purchasing the week pass.
Very good video thank you. Around what deck do they tend to
Put the life boats? I know it will be different for the different ships. But how can one tell?
It is different depending on the class. We were just on Discovery Princess and they were on deck 7
It's Deck 8 on the Regal. You can find out by looking for "Obstructed Balcony" rooms.
