I want an all inclusive trip where I know exactly what I am spending. Getting the package does this for me. I may have a few extras from shopping or bingo, but everything else is all inclusive and I have no worries about how much I am spending, it was budgeted and spent up front.

Just curious if anyone has sailed in the Sky Suite as a couple and not 4 people. It sounds like a wonderful experience, but feel a bit weird being in a 2 bedroom suite with just 2 people.

I hope someone knows the answer since I have been checking regularly for the last few weeks hoping they would be announced.

Not certain which of the posts in this topic is relevant to the UK and bidding for upgrades. There are a few too many for me to read them all. Last I read I was at page 53 and now there are 82 pages of comments on the bidding system

Are upgrade bids available in the UK? I have not been following recently as no cruise booked, but last I heard UK residents were excluded.

Sorry if I was not clear, my question was the other way. I am already elite on Princess and my DH is platinum. I am wondering if we will have any status on P&O if we book given our princess status.

We have cruised princess many times, but are considering taking a P&O cruise from Southampton next year. Does anyone know if our Princess cruises count toward P&O Peninsular loyalty tiers (even if only older crises as my 1st princess cruise was in 1998). I know they stopped P&O coming to Princess back in 2017, but I cannot find any information on going from Princess to P&O.

We always book in advance to ensure we are in the venue and time we want. The Concierge may be able to do this also, but we like boarding knowing that the first night is sorted.

Captain Andy married us on the Crown in 2011. Wonderful memories. Not certain about vow renewal at that price, but for a wedding, I highly recommend Princess

You can get it included in your fare cost if you purchase the Plus or Premier package. The fees only apply if you do not want it included in your cruise fare. They are giving people the option to have all inclusive fare or be plagued by lots of small charges. My main concern is they do not have a different all inclusive package for people who do not drink alcohol.

Thank you, this is what I had hoped. I will contact a Princess Vacation Planner when we book the first cruise to see what they can do about the following one.

There is no guarantee, but usually if it goes to Fort Lauderdale or Galveston it will be a Caribbean cruise next. We are not worried about what ports we visit in the Caribbean as per my original post. If it heads somewhere else (e.g. Panama Canal), we would need to decide if we change our plans or just go where the ship takes us.

The best one for longer trips (unless it has been removed) : FREE LAUNDRY

We always do that for our cabin since we are very picky on cabin locations. The question is how to get the same cabin for the following cruise on a B2B when that cruise is not available for sale when the first cruise is booked.

We are looking into a long holiday in 2026 doing a TA from Southampton and then straight onto a Caribbean cruise. Does anyone have any suggestions on how we can keep the same cabin for both cruises? My concern is that we would book the TA as soon as the summer/autumn cruises are available for 2026. If it is like 2025, the Caribbean cruise schedule will not be announced for several months after the Europe/TA cruises are available to book.. We are not worried about what ports we would have in the Caribbean, more worried about the cabin we are in and which ship we would be on which would be booked for the TA. My only thought is to check daily and book the Caribbean portion immediately, but there is no guarantee we would get the same cabin since I think Elites get to book a day or two early and someone might grab our cabin before I can book (we are Platinum). If we booked through a Princess Vacation Planner, are they able to put a “hold” on the cabin in advance? In the past we have always booked ourselves through Princess.
