Spendless -what would be the daily price you would consider an acceptable amount?

The increased base price for today's offer (previously there was a £400 discount per person) compared to the previous offer means the total cabin price I booked remains the same either way.

For the 2nd cabin i booked which included a 3rd person gave some further benefits for 3rd person of $150, non alcohol drinks package and some internet so hence marginally a better deal overall.

The silhouette UK 2018 season, seems to have 14 day balcony cabins start points ranging from 1850 to £2600 for 14 days depending on specific cruise. I was suprised that the 21st July one was the least expensive.

I would be interested to hear from UK colleagues on what they think is a good price point compared to recent history.

I have booked a 14 day baltics cruise from Southampton balcony with drinks package for circa £1900 in July for 14 days. I thought that was an ok deal. Prices currently similar to Princess, P&O which did not include a drinks package. I enjoy a drink and would either run up a large drinks bill on a competitor or have a $805 charge for a drinks package on Princess.

Some drinks have gone up. Guinness and grolsch were 5.95, now 6.75.

I think the posts on here 2 weeks ago were about the pric increasing up to 49.95 plus the gratuity from $49. This is the online price in cruise personaliser currently.

Looking at patters above it seems the onboard price is $52 plus gratuity.

There is also a bar menu posted in this thread. Grolsch and guinness seem to have increased from $5.95 to $6.75.

On the day one patter shown here it is $52 plus gratuity. Same on another recent regal live thread.

Interesting to see some prices rises on the patter there.

AIBP now seems to be $52 plus 15%. Also beer prices and cocktail of the day prices seen to have gone up by at least 25 cents,

I am showing embassy suites now as well.

An interesting broader question is how will the low value of the pound impact upon UK bookings on Princess? The low pound value does make any on board spending much more expensive and may well impact on people's choice of Princess going forwards.

The key american competitors appear to have constant free drinks packages promos (Royal Carribean and Celebrity). Will Princess offer these to the UK market more frequently.

They currently seem to offer this promotion once only in the summer when cruises are fully priced.

Yes that's correct. Better and cheaper flights to Miami through ezy air.

Thank you for the information. I shall look it up! Did everything go smoothly?

Dear all

Would anyone have an idea which hotel princess have booked me into at Miami for one night pre cruise?

Personalised just says Miami accommodations. EZY air price was good, arrives 9pm the night before, with transfers to the hotel, then hotel to fll and then port back to Miami.

Many thanks

Check the site isn't defaulting to single occupancy? Mine has when I looked today!

Isn't the price from 699 now on princess website, not 898?
