I think Elite on Princess is more like Elite+ on Celebrity so that’s probably why you got Deep Blue. Elite (300 points) on X requires 100 days in veranda, Elite+ (750 points) is 250 days in veranda … you get there quicker in higher grade cabins and suite class. Elite on X is the same as Diamond on RCL so it’s probably correct that we only got Blue instead of Deep Blue
To be honest we have booked VV for the first time to see if we like the experience vs other cruise lines so the status match wasn’t the reason for booking …. But a $100 pp free bar tab would have been nice 😂😂😂
