You’re talking about all the normal princess cruises, which yes it is an add on. 
 

im talking about these specific coastal cruises which Princess have said directly are all all inclusive. 
 

I asked to see what your email said but I’m still waiting, I’m not arguing with you. Simply saying you shouldn’t believe a TA about a cruise lines policy when they are saying different themselves. 
 

Don’t say ‘believe people’ when you’re not believing me, how ironic 😂😂😂

How many more times ? I'll spell it out.

 

On the Princess web site it advertises the UK cruises and the headline price is AI. Read further and it clearly states it is the Plus fare which can paid when booked or the 30 can be added onboard. Apology accepted.

Can anyone else find the page this person is talking about? Because I can’t and he clearly doesn’t want to send a link.

Can't see too many takers for a 14 night non stop cruise round the fjords, especially in the winter! 

I seem to remember the sea being a bit choppy in those war films. North Cape in November?. They will probably close the pool deck.

MSC have been using this models since August last year very successfully stopping at more than 1 country in the Med. I think they’ve got it spot on. 
 

Yes they had a small amount of cases but P&O will too, every line will just like every workplace etc will. 
 

MSC have gone from to the leading cruise line since this pandemic with their approach and innovation with the air filtering etc. Whereas P&O have been very quiet about what upgrades they have done, if any, to their air systems. 

Having looked at the MSC news, it does seem they're doing a good job at keeping everyone safe on board and on excursions and being incredibly strict about sending people away. However, for me, I'm happier with the lowest possible chance of covid getting on and spreading around the ship. 

 

And that the kids can't come!! Midday cocktails and fine dining for me!

Everyone has different view points so at least we all get a choice with what protocols we prefer now which is great.

 

bet your children aren’t happy though, take them on an MSC one too. Else they may hold you to it 😅

If you read the small print in clearly states the headline price is a Plus fare, which can be removed at any time. You can pay either. Please play nice.

Removed as in they (the cruise line) can remove the offer and stop selling it like that. 
that doesn’t mean the guest can remove it. 
 

that’s a usual T&C line. 
 

Still waiting for a link please 🙂 

 

Dont say play nice like I’m nasty when im

simply asking for your source and you aren’t providing it, which further proves my simple point that they are selling them as all inclusive.

I’ll take this as there isn’t a link or an email saying such a thing. 
 

Ive looked and there isn’t anything. There isn’t even a page on princess website about these new sailings yet as they’re not yet on sale and there was no link either from the email. 
 

Thanks a lot for your lovely comments. Have a great day.

I have no idea why we are discussing whether Princess new Uk cruises are going to be AI or not, but  I have copied this from the small print in the email I got from Princess this morning in the hope that is settles the matter

Because there is a popular belief amongst some this isn’t a P&O forum

The folk who won't cruise for a few years can now not cruise on 3 cruise lines . I had an email from Warner's. Their prices make these cruises seem like a bargain.

True they moved upmarket a few years back so did the prices

In addition to my post above, I have also had the email from the TA Joeecco mentioned and they are advertising the Princess cruises without the Plus price but if you add their price to the plus package price it's the same price as other TAs are offering

My point was that the TA is known to be wrong  and that the direct Princess communication states they are all inclusive. 
 

and for the record, I was simply asking for a link or an email directly from Princess to suggest otherwise if I was wrong, happy to stand corrected when there’s direct proof from the horses mouth.

TBH I have never thought of them as upmarket. No discounts at the moment, so we will wait and see.

I may be wrong, but I think you have to add on the Princess Plus package prior to boarding,  in order for it to be incorporated into the Medallion software.

Our email link sent me to this:-

It is possible the other person does not know how to share links, but if so he could have asked for advice.

This is the email I had too, nicely put together isn’t it. 

[wowzz]

I wouid hope that those who are new to cruising with Princess do choose the Plus package,  otherwise they may be surprised by the cost of drinks (in $US) plus 18% service charges, plus the autotips.

Puts the P&O marketing department to shame!
