Seems like from time you enter departure terminal, through security and onboard you are already in close proximity to crowds. Doubt an excursion with those same people is going to change your odds of catching something.

I didn't see it on FB, but I now see it on website:

As they price the package at $75, I wonder if the they will change $25 or $35 for upgrading old package? As so much is unclear, remains to be seen what they will do.

Moving forward the challenge for Princess (or left to TA's who will officially have a webinar tomorrow to introduce what we've been talking about all day🤔) will be an explanation to those currently booked, that though their reservation documents say "Premier Beverage Package" it is really the Plus Beverage Package. I think a small focus group of real passengers would have encouraged the marketing/sales/revenue folks to come up with a different name to avoid confusion.

Had an interesting experience today. Had a difficult time accessing fares on a recent targeted Princess mailer, so I called the phone # referenced to ask. Was asked who my VP planner was - had no idea, so they told me I was assigned to a particular VP (who knew?) and he was in and I could leave a message. He returned my call, accessed a promo code and we discussed pricing on a particular CAT on a "potential" 14 day cruise. He offered cabin choices and I said I was not ready to book but would think it over. He said he would email me pricing and could he call me tomorrow to see if I'd made a decision. Sure, I said. Then I received the CONFIRMED email I you get after booking and depositing a cruise. Two FCD's deducted used to deposit from my account. It was not a quote or a "courtesy hold." Is he inept, unethical or desperate? Is this the typical VP behavior for those of you that use them? I see it as inexcusable. Thoughts? BTW his price I found after about two minutes online was about 12% higher than other offer.🤔
