Sadly, you aren't correct. For our cruise to Hawaii this year in March. We had purchased the plus package when we originally booked this cruise. Before the cruise Princess changed the Plus package (I think they adjusted the casual dining). Sadly shortly after we got off that cruise, the changed again (I also think in regards to the casual dining). I understand the OPs concerns. Sadly, this can happen, and the cruise line get's to make that choice. DW don't cruise often, but when we do we cruise Princess. We really enjoy the product. We often try to take advantage of things so that we don't have to worry about anything on our cruise. That's why on our next cruise we are trying the Premiere package. Everyone is different on what they want for their experience, while the cruise line may change things, you still have choices. Hoping for all the best for you and this dilemma.

My only disappointment to these changes (and forgive me if I missed someone already posting it, as I just skimmed much of the thread) is that the number of "free" meals you get at the casual dining (like Alfredo's/Gigis) doesn't change based on the days. I realize things could change. In 2024 we are taking a cruise to Hawaii. We get 2 free meals at the pizza joint. If we were to have lunch there every day (not out of the question), it's going to cost us a bit of money. Yes, I know we can go to the top deck and enjoy a slice, but not sure it's the same. The downside, is that if we were doing a 7 day cruise we still get 2 freebies. That confuses me a little. Anyone able to explain it? This change doesn't upset me, and we are still going to see what's what. But wondered why only 2 regardless of the number of days you are sailing. Does this mean folks on the world cruise only get 2 freebies at the pizza join in their 100+ day cruise? Counting down the days 🙂
