Ombud Posted February 24, 2023 #176 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I suspect that the intent is to encourage everyone to buy Plus .... then eliminate standard and downgrade all. Right now: Wifi 7.50 - 15 Tips 16 Coffee 4 Tea. 2 Water 1.50 day based on dz precruise So 31 - 38.50 A la carte savings drops to $21.50. Basically the cost of 1 glass wine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought coffee, hot chocolate and tea is included with the plus plan? Espresso isn't. Am I correct? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I correct? They are but for those of us that do not drink any or very little alcohol & avoid sugary pop this used to be a viable option. @Shelly97060 how many specialty coffees are included? Site states price varies so how long is your cruise? Edited February 24, 2023 by Ombud 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site states price varies so how long is your cruise? I purchased mine before they vanished from the Personalizer and it starts on Saturday so mine should be 15 specialty coffees- the card is for my 7 day cruise segment that starts Saturday. I will report back if they try to make any changes to it. Or if they have anything posted advertising it for sale the first day . 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ldtr Posted February 24, 2023 #181 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Do not be surprised if it is not available at all and you get refunded. After all the one person reported that his unused drinks would not carry over to the 2nd cruise of his B2B because the program was ending entirely. Not just new sales.

I have a problem with them not carrying over on a B2B. Probably nothing will be done, really not my problem. As much as I've appreciated the coffee card and used the heck out of it, it's not going to effect me, I'll buy the plus, it makes financial sense for us. And for those that plus doesn't work for, that makes financial sense for you. Either way, we'll know for sure soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's been my biggest concern about all of this ever since Plus came on the scene. As long as Princess offers the choice of the standard fare, I'm still on board. But as a non-drinker, I'll jump ship if my only choice is to subsidize other cruisers' alcohol consumption by having all-inclusive as the only fare option.

Princessfan20 Posted February 25, 2023 #190 Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) Maybe time to start traveling with a mini coffee maker with an automatic shut-off and just avoid the whole Princess coffee rip-off.

And a cute new carry on! Too bad it’s not allowed. We should all ask for the tea kettles that they supply on the Ex UK ans Australia cruises, bring a French press and we’re good to go. Not that I would actually pack a French press. Maybe sbucks via. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
