You know, Princess also makes money on those who spend in other ways- not only drinks, desserts. For example: casino, art auctions, jewelry shops, excursions, photography & electronics they sell. The upscale is nice to see in the new Sun Princess with several inviting dining options. Quality matters to some of us.
princess is marketing to standard fare, older folks like me.
Oh lord, Princess if you are listening- I have cruised for 45 years. Tried the Plus packages twice. Never again.
I pay standard fare and book BW to Pent House suites.
Take startedwithamouse’s advice and I will be gone!
When I book Specialty dining on app- no package, the only place I see charges are on my credit card. I never see it on my travel summary, so if I cancel the reservation it disappears from the app and I hope for a refund.
Is there anywhere else others are seeing their proof of payment- a receipt from Princess?
I also do this occasionally when I need to top up my aeroplan miles, as I rarely have to pay for a flight. Always purchase refundable fares/ buy cancel for any reason insurance.
Thanks for taking the time to share. I will probably skip this if invited , as I have a Suite on the Sun with use of the Signature Sun Deck and prefer to choose my time to go over to the terminal.
Thought I’d never do it, but I did. Paid $15 US to have 4 items delivered to my home in Canada before my Regal cruise out of Galveston. Let’s see if I get it- I frequently get the neighbour’s mail.
It would be nice to see the entire wording- it is cut off on my screen.
i have Standard- so this extra charge will apply to SD.
Those with packages may not have to pay this, or does that only include the 2 dinners in their package?
Still confusing.
I have Standard fare.
I see a lot of posts since you posted telling me I was wrong.
No problem in my case I cancelled my 2 pre paid Crown Grill reservations and they have already issued the refund.
Crown Grill is $39 pp & Sabatinis is $35 pp.
