In early 2023, Plus was offered At Par for Canadians (so $60 Canadian, rather than $80 Canadian). I have not seen this offered in 2024 yet.

They are heated, but not much, and the pools are frequently drained and refilled with unheated water. So with those factors in mind, be prepared for inconsistent water temperatures. Sometimes it's comfortable and awesome, and sometimes men become women.

Japan is #1 on our bucket list. We've booked Japan twice, and cancelled twice (second time in 2020). 2025 marks 20 years of our relationship and we both really wanted to make our dream come true. I was thrilled when I saw these new itineraries for Fall 2025! We booked the 13-day trip in November immediately and could not be more excited!

California Coastal cruise in September. I wonder if there's a plan to increase rates soon?

I'm Canadian and my Princess app has Crown Grill priced at $63 per person. It doesn't specify the currency, but I've only ever seen USD on Princess apps.

If Princess won't do this, you could order la carte on the Princess app and split your dishes that way. Pay for the items you order and enjoy your meal in a lounge!

If they brought back the at par promo, I'd immediately book 4-5 cruises to cover all vacation plans for the next two years. LOL Instead I've been pricing options since November without making a single booking. The prices are insane compared to what I paid a year ago! 50-100% more for the same thing?! Yeesh.

I noticed others commenting with the same problem on Princess' Facebook page. They responded that their web team are aware of the issue and working on it. Hopefully not much longer.

I've been dealing with this too for days. Tried different browsers, clearing caches, private browsing, etc. Also Canadian. You'd think Princess would be quicker to resolve this after maybe noticing Canadians stopped booking? LOL

If these were my options, I'd go with Sapphire. She's a great ship with a lot of great viewing areas for scenic cruising. The later date also means kids are back in school, so the ship will be less crowded.

This is the funny thing--I searched by Plus (not Premier) and prices jumped by over $100CDN per day. This doesn't happen consistently, just sometimes. Princess is having some significant issues in their coding.

Princess' website seems to be having all sorts of problems, atleast for this Canadian. I can't get any further than choosing a cabin before getting an error message (all day, no matter the device, clearing my cache or using a private browser), and if I change my search to include Plus the price goes up from anywhere between $80 per day (normal) to $110 per day (totally wrong). I guess I'll keep waiting for an acceptable price because YIKES the price per day is 50% higher than it was a year ago!!

I don't disagree. It comes down to what we value--what we get vs what we're paying. For years we spent an average of $200 CDN per day for a cruise (all in). Last year we priced cruise options with Princess with Plus, and it came to $400 CDN per day, which felt comfortable and had a fantastic trip. Right now, comparable cruises are over to $600 CDN per day, a 50% increase. It just isn't justifiable for us at the moment.

I'm really hopeful a Canadian at Par deal comes available again. I just can't justify the current fares.

Anyone else find that Princess' prime rib tastes like ham? Oddly sweet? Not to my taste at all and a waste of a good cut of meat seasoning it like that.
