Unpopular Opinion: I'm excited about the changes to Plus and Premier
getaway101 replied to drwbrt's topic in Princess Cruises
If you do the math it doesn’t take anywhere near 15 drinks a day to get your moneys worth. -

When I talked to Princess I was told as long as you paid the $80 pp per day then you get ALL the premium Items. -
A couple thoughts/ observations as we depart the Caribbean Princess
getaway101 replied to tml1230's topic in Princess Cruises
This is why I hate cell phones etc. I cruise for rest and relaxation especially on TAs but now everyone has a cell phone with them at all times….grrrrrr. Take cruising back to the days of cruising. -

Really? I never knew that. I never even saw a register for them to charge anything. -

Thank you for posting this. We are booked for 27 days on her in May 2024. I was really getting leery with all the negative posts. Normally I take them with a grain of salt. Please tell me you didn't see roaches everywhere. We are in a window suite for the first time and so looking forward to it. -

Isn't the Salty Dog the burgers and hot dogs up by the pool? Asking for a friend....🤪 -

I am one of those 20+ day cruisers. We are on a 25 day in Sept. 27 day next May and 33 day next Sept. I still think that Princess has the best loyalty program. Yes they took away the minutes for WIFI and for a very good reason IMO. Everyday the line of people complaining they lost their minutes because they forgot to log out. Princess is the last one that allows stockholders to still claim the OBC even though they got a special deal or have other OBC. Royal & Celebrity did away with that years ago. -

We are also Premier but you do realize that the reserved seating is only for Production Shows. Still a plus IMO -
Name me one cruise line who is concerned about loyalty. I still feel Princess has the best loyalty program. We are also Elite on Celebrity and Diamond+ on Royal. We always take longer cruises and IMO the perks on Princess are way better for longer cruises. Do they really care that we are Elite? No! But neither does any other cruise line. It's a business. Royal and Celebrity were the first to do away with the Shareholder benefit IF you have any other type of discount or OBC. Personally I think all cruise lines should just go all inclusive and do away with the nickle and diming.

Were you able to make specialty dining reservations? -

I thought you, being in reserve collection, could eat wherever you wanted. Can they not include you n their group when making reservations? -

Thank you. We are booked in F307. I figured with the TA and port intensive a balcony won't be used much. We have always wanted to try one of these cabins. BUT with all I'm reading about roaches in cabins and no AC and plumbing problems.....I'm rethinking 😕 -

Do you have all suite perks including club class dining? -
They also love cardboard boxes. When we had our Subways I was adamant that on delivery day all boxes were opened and items stored on shelves. Many times as boxes were being opened a roach or two would scurry out until a heavy foot fell on them 😉 I wonder if the ones complaining about the roaches have any idea how many cardboard boxes are loaded onto a ship at every port?

Has anyone who has sailed on the Caribbean Princess stayed in a window suite cabin? We just booked one for a 27 day TA in May 2024. -
Does National Express drop you right at the port?

Isn't that the truth.

Only in America do we go overboard on the tipping.
