I know its an all or nothing deal for the first 2 passengers if you book and pay for it before the cruise, but once you are onboard, and now can pay onboard, is it the same? Each person now has their own medallion app and has their separate payment methods. A cabinmate can't charge on someone else's shipboard account. And what if the 2nd person already bought the Soda package? Can they be forced to upgrade without their authorization? Originally, years ago, if one person wanted the drink package, the drink packages were forced on everyone in the cabin. It was supposedly so there was no sharing. But now it is the 1st and 2nd only with the option of the 3rd and 4th. What's to prevent them from sharing? Logically, it makes no sense.

Because you bought it onboard, did they add taxes for being in Vancouver? Or were you already out in international waters?

What is Journey View? And how does it know what will happen in 7 weeks? Don't they change things up each cruise?

And then you have to play rock, paper and scissors or item A, item B, item C (which they give you the rules before each round as to what item beats another) for 5 - rounds of 10 games and have to win all 50. So even if you exercise 30 consecutive days, or go to their classes for 30 consecutive days, or make a medallion purchase, you are only eligible to play the game which you must win all 5 rounds...all 50 rock, paper, scissors.

Do you have a picture of the wristband? And how much was it? Do they have a lot of large sizes in stock? I read that some ships don't have very many left and they are too small for most except kids and small adults.

What rooms on Dolphin deck did they use? We will be in 2 cabins on Dolphin deck, so will our rooms be previous infected rooms?

But they take all the photos anyways, so wouldn’t it be better to have an all inclusive at $199 or $250 than someone only paying for the 5 photo package at $89 or the 10 at $169?

Can you please do me a favor? What are the photo packages onboard? Can you buy all your digital downloads without buying the Premier drink package? Is there a package for unlimited digital downloads? Not just the 5 or 10?

Can you please do me a favor? What are the photo packages onboard? Can you buy all your digital downloads without buying the Premier drink package? I know on the online personalizer, there are 2 packages that you can pre-buy…for 5 ($89)or 10 ($169) photos plus only those 5 or 10 digital downloads, but how can you get all of them? We have a family of 5 and we usually take over 50 -75 pictures on a 10+ day cruise. I hate to have to go through all of them to pick and choose, it’s easier to just buy all of them in the past for $199.

Well that sucks. We don’t drink, therefore we are prevented on buying all our photos unless we pay $800 each? (10 day cruise).

Yes that is for the Soda package that list CANS as an option for soda. Here is the fine print for the Plus and Premier ... but I haven't read through that so I am not sure if it mentions cans or not. I would think it would since the packages build up from each other. https://www.princess.com/cruise-deals-promotions/plus-premier-cruise-packages/terms-and-conditions/

If there only is the 5 or 10 physical photo package, does it come with only those 5 or 10 digital downloads or do you get them all? How can you get all of the digital downloads for all our pictures? Is the only way to get them is to purchase the Princess Premier package? I am sure with several family members, we will be taking over 100 on a 14 day since everyone takes solos and groups and then just sisters and then just brothers and then just the boys or just the girls and then just the moms with the kids and the dads with the kids, just the cousins, etc. Sometimes we have different shore excursions so we leave the ship at different times, so there are multiple port pictures too.

What is the online link? Can anyone get a coupon book?

Currently on the Princess website: "What is Included The package includes all, fountain sodas, and cans of soda and juices (excluding the fresh juice bar), mocktails, and smoothies as per the menu."

I just read in another post that you can purchase the plus fare drink package (gratuities, internet and drinks) on the ship and do not have to buy it when you purchase the cruise months in advance. Some people are doing this so they don't have to pay extra insurance and/or because they have a lot of OBC. The flyer that was posted did not say that 2 people in a cabin must purchase it. The flyer says: "to upgrade to Princess Plus in the app or ask the crew." Maybe someone onboard can clarify and re-post the flyer? The one I screen shot is really blurry.

It was 2 interior rooms on deck 8. It was my neighbor that received the offer. The rooms were handicap rooms. I am just worried that they won't be able to get what cabins they need next time.

No. But I did buy Cancel for any Reason insurance just in case. I did not buy the Princess cruise line insurance because when I talked to a representative she said: if 1 person cancels in the cabin and if the other person still wants to travel, the person who cancels gets their money back or future cruise credit but the person who still wants to cruise has to pay extra since the cabins are based on double occupancy. So you either both go or no one goes in order to make it cost effective. Outside insurance companies guarantee single occupants don't pay extra. And although Cancel for any Reason only pays back 75% of the fare, it was overall a better deal. Or at least that is how I understand it.

My neighbor already took the offer but I'm not sure it really was a good offer since it might be extremely limiting.

How does it work when you receive an offer from Princess to cancel your cruise, receive a full refund and get a free cruise? What are the parameters of a "free cruise"? Does it have to be same category and same cost? What if you can't find a same cost cruise? What if there is not the same category available? This was the message: Princess is extending a special FREE cruise offer to guests booked on the March 2nd ROYAL PRINCESS sailing. Move to an alternate 10 DAY Mexico sailing & receive: - 100% of cruise fare back (as refundable onboard credit) on your new cruise. any unspent amount will be sent home via check post cruise. - You have up to 2 years to re-book. - Princess EZ air will be fully protected. - Princess will protect your current cruise fare and any amenities & Packages o on your cruise. - Princess will protect up to $400 per person for private travel expenses. This offer is only available by emailing PrincessOffers@PrincessCruises.com Please act quickly as this offer has limited availability and will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. We will reply within 24 business hours.

Which insurance or type of policy is needed for an unknown future event of a travel restriction for covid or another pandemic? Most countries have lifted their requirements for being completely vaccinated and/or testing 48-72 hours pre-cruise or pre-travel. Being that there are warnings now for future pandemics, what happens if you can't travel because a country adds back their restrictions and you can not comply, therefore are unable to travel on that trip? Most CFAR policies require that you cancel at least 48-72 hours before the cruise/travel. What happens if the restriction is immediately placed only 24 hours or day of? What policy covers that?

When booking D501, it gave the option of 2 twins/upper and queen/upper, but looking at pictures, there is no upper, only a sofa. How are these reserve collection mini's laid out for 3 people? They all have the triangle symbol. but only a few cabins will allow 3 people to book them online. How many reserve mini's are on the Crown? What is the furthest aft mini reserve cabins on the Crown? We have 3 boys all over 6 feet tall and we are trying to get them as close to the aft as possible but in a reserve cabin. Will the sofa be a pull out or is it head to toe so a 6 ft. person can not stretch out unless they put their feet on the arm rest? Does anyone have a picture with the 3rd bed/berth made?

When I looked at several cruises and categories and different dates that have the Love Boat Sale Banner that includes the WiFi, Crew appreciation, Drinks, etc., You have to choose the Princess Plus option and pay more. This is the same as that has the other banner for the up to 30% off. I was under the impression that the Love Boat sale included all those things for free, at no additional cost. That for the Love Boat Sale special, you would get the WiFi, Crew appreciation, drinks, etc at the Standard price. What is the point of saying it is a sale, when it actually is not? I don't drink alcohol but my sister does, so how is paying for the plus beneficial to me? I was thinking since it was included in the package at no additional cost, then I would just not use it. Can 1 person pay the standard and 1 person pay the plus?
