Like many have said and agree with you. It is your money and your choice. You opinion counts. Happy Cruising!

Bottom line. Only you know if it is worth it or not! Anyone can justify their reason for or against. We talk to some people who would never go on a cruise. Some would never go on that cruise line. Some would never do that category of cabin. Some would never....... Which some are you? Happy Cruising!

Thank you! I assumed he was implying the drinks were watered down or poor quality. We don't drink 15 per day. However, most drinks are $10. A glass of wine at lunch, before dinner, at dinner and after dinner is 4 drinks. $40 just for that. Cappo at breakfast no more card. The Elite set up is Ok, but I would rather see it based on 7 day cruises vs 1 setup for a cruise. We are on a 21 day Cruise. At $60 a day for the Plus is very reasonable compare to the other cruise lines we cruise on each year. RCI beverage packages start off at $60 and that only includes drinks. Happy Cruising!

Please explain: alcohol was disgusting by day fifteen. I really don't understand your comment. TIA

Agree! This is a cheap way out. Just like one cabin set up per cruise regardless of number of days.

Agree, we have 55 Princess cruises!

We are traveling from the US to Paris, De Gaulle (CDG) airport then to Barcelona. It has been a couple of years going through De Gaulle. Are you required to go through customs in De Gaulle to board your next flight to Barcelona?

Most cruise lines no longer have the ole Formal nite or dress code.

The way I read and interpret your statement is that in addition to the $14.99 there is an added cost of $8.50 for a specialty pizza? If so, what pizzas are not considered speciality pizzas? Double mark up. From free to fee and then additional fee for specialty pizza. RCI and Carnival are going to charge extra for a second entree in the MDR in addition to steak and lobster. So, that will be next. LOL

Agree! Princess is like the other cruise lines. Just read the other line forums and people are all saying the same thing. Big business really doesn't care about us anymore. So, people who leave one line are replacing the others who are leaving the other line. LOL

No problem with you disagreeing with me! We cruise 8 to 10 times a year on CELEBRITY, MSC, NCL, PRINCESS and RCI. I am basing my opinion on what I pay and what I get. Celebrity Specialty Restaurants and drinks are much more expensive than the other lines we cruise on. Just compared my cost on Equinox for 14 days with perks $5,253. Enchanted 21 days with perks $7,482. Same category cabins. Celebrity $20 per day more and not equal overall in perks. JMHO

Price wise Celebrity is much more expensive than Princess. That is our opinion as we cruise Celebrity and just got off of the Equinox and Apex. Other cruise lines charge more for their beverage package only, than what you are paying for the Princess Plus or Premium per day. You even get more with Princess. Not a cheerleader for Princess. Just comparing apples to 🍎. Happy Cruising!

SOS! Been discussed, cussed and more for over 25 years. All cruise lines we have been on the past 2 years don't care and do NOT enforce a dress code, recommended or suggested code. That includes Celebrity, MSC, NCL, RCI. Dress to Impress! Yourself. LOL

No One is forcing you to eat or pay extra on a ship! So, why not chill out? Do you pay $20 or less for a 3 course meal at any restaurant at home?

Princess is the cheapest compare to the other cruise lines. Example: Celebrity Apex is $60 plus 18% tip. All cruise lines are charging more. Go to the store in your city and price food. It has gone up, too.

I understand your disappointment in Princess and all the costly changes. We are Elite on Princess, Elite Plus on Celebrity, Diamond Plus on RCI, Diamond on MSC, Sapphire on NCL, etc. We have cruised those lines last year and this year. Why do I mention this? It is too let you know we are seeing the same changes on all the cruise lines! Regardless of line, they are all cutting back, charging more and it is no different. My personal opinion: Celebrity is the most expensive in the way of drinks, Specialty Restaurants, etc. MSC is the least expensive. Princess is reasonable in drinks, Specialty Restaurants. Your money, your choice. We are not cheerleaders for any cruise line. Happy Cruising on your line of choice!

I know what it is. Thanks! My point is why only one set up for a cruise regardless of the number of days? Princess is becoming like the other lines. Cut back, charge more and make you think you are getting more. LOL

What about the cabin bar setup? Once per cruise regardless of number of days.

Thanks for your answer. I'm not that picky in my wine selections. It all comes out in the wash. LOL

I somewhat confused if you have a pkg. Why would I buy a bottle of wine to get 25% off if I can get glasses of wine that are free in my pkg? TIA

What is the cost per day/per person? TIA

What the cost of this per day? TIA

Thank you all for taking the time to help. Be safe & Happy Cruising!

Been a while since we cruised Princess. Seen their beverage lists. Did not see Moscato wine. Does anyone know if it is on the wine list or have had it recently? TIA
