I was giving you details about my success. I really do not know why some people have an issue booking the Premium included Speciality restaurant reservations and others do not. It would not be unreasonable for Princess to want one to pay for their Premier package (with final payment) before making a no charge booking. We usually stay in a suite and I have read reports that some people are able to make the embarkation speciality dining reservation without paying. I have never been successful. I have also booked it after boarding and I have never had any problem getting the place and time that I wanted. Does your AP show that you have the premier package?

Thanks. I am too relaxed. I meant to ask if you can see the MDR menu for the days in the future. I just see the current day.

Ordered mine with a form at GS using the form at around 6 PM. They were delivered by noon on the next day.

I am current in board. Should I be able to see the MDR for the length of my cruise? I only see the current day. Sometimes I get cruise lines mixed up. Is this possible on Princess? Thank you.

When are you cruising? I was able to book mine on the AP with no charge. There was a note stating that I have to credits. It was after the Final payment. It seems to work for some people and not others.

Welcome aboard. Luckily, we did not have the same issue. Our cabin door was open, when we stopped by to drop off our carry on and leave. what was included with your mini bar? 4 dewars, 4 gins, two beers, and some non alcoholic drinks. We dined in Catch last night and it was amazing. Enjoy.

I received an email stating that since I booked a suite prior to 12/1/2023 I received a free 360 experience. Dining there tonight.

I wonder why the two casual restaurants are not included on this Plus list.

I can see where someone might make that decision. The Plus Beverage package is $76.90 per day for one person. The Plus bundle would be $120 a day for two people. The difference is only $43.10 a day for two people. But I understand your point.

Wish granted: Princess Plus and Princess Premier. (Not Princess Premium) I agree that there would certainly need to be a strange set of circumstances for the Beverage packages purchase to make any sense.

It was actually @Thrak’s tip. I was just explaining what he met by machine. if I recall correctly, yes. You can also request a print out at the desk.

@MacMadame, I agree with you. I know that no one knows for sure, but I read that up to 70% of cruisers have one of the packages. Why the heck would Princess ever offer a lower level bundle? Personally I would never cruise without a package. It is my opinion the 15 drink per day alcoholic drink limit is very seldom reached and that the current Plus package can make financial sense even for people that drink little or no alcohol. The limit makes some people they should share, because Princess owes them 15 drinks. It is great that the 30% or so of the cruisers that cruise with no package have the option to spend less money. Just my opinion.

Even if you log out and log back in with the future booking number?

Thank you for your quick response.

Does Princess designate some loungers that can only be booked for the whole week? i booked the Sanctuary once for a complete cruise. (I was booked in one of those mini suites that were completely uncovered). At that time the 1/2 and 1 day bookings could be not in advance. Perhaps only in the morning of the day desired. I do know that Princess now allows 1/2 and 1 day reservations on any day in advance. I would imagine this reduces the possibility of booking for the whole cruise. So, does Princess designate certain loungers for “complete cruise booking”? If I am doing a B2B can I book the second cruise on the first day of the first cruise? Thank you.

I agree that the ship will adjust the ship time to match the local time. i will confirm for you in the next 3 weeks.

You are referring to the 14 day cruise on the Sun as a B2B. Since you did not make two separate purchases and do not have two different booking numbers, I am not sure if it is a correct description. I do see your dilemma. If you book it has two 7 day cruise (B2B), Princess may not allow you to carry over the OBC from the first 7 day cruise to the second 7 day cruise. If you stay with the 14 day booking, Princess might not allow you to count day 8 and 9 as a 1 and 2 for the purchase of the upgrade on the last 7 days. Actually I do not know. Worst case is that you cannot, then you can use the Casino to turn your OBC to cash. Good luck.

Even if Princess were offering gift cards, they certainly would nit allow you to use non refundable OBC for the purchase. Just like you cannot use OBC for an FCC.

My understanding was all you needed to do was pay the extra $10 a day per person (making it $60 a day instead of $50) and you have all the increased benefits of the $60 a day Plus package. Is that not true? Are you saying that you paid $60 a day pp and could not get the extra benefits?

It does say UP to 20% off. Mine was 0%.

I agree. I suspect some people are not connecting the dots. Personally I do not think either one of those two options are worth a price increase. I am not sure if the survey shared what the cost would be.

I am confident that it is a single segment with that itinerary. I have enjoyed that cruise twice.

I assume you booked an accessible cabin, because you have a need for one. If true, I suggest you cancel your bid as the terms of the bidding are clear.

Was your 15 day cruise also sold in smaller segments? I can relate. Several years ago I cruised RT from San Pedro to Tahiti. I was a single 28 day cruise and I only received one min bar set up.
