Our cruise is October 19th

Similar to a previous poster, I logged into my Princess account and viewed my travel summary. I am in a suite (S9) and had paid for the Plus package. My travel summary reflects the plus package but then also shows premier added at the end. It shows a breakdown for all the premier benefits such as specialty dining, photo package, etc. I'll be interested to see what happens. I'm not pleased that the benefits I paid for with the suite are now the same I would have gotten in a mini-suite at a lower cost, but at this point we will plan to still go and just enjoy being on vacation. It will be interesting to see if the Premier package stays listed since the Princess FAQs clearly state it isn't included for those who had previously booked.

You are so right! Unfortunately we have a suite booked in October (category S9). The only reason we booked this room over a Reserve mini suite was for the suite perks, which now we would have gotten with the mini suite. I paid to have the exclusivity and to avoid some of the crowds. Now I won't get this. I'm very disappointed.

Yes, I'm glad to have my price locked in for this cruise, but it could definitely deter me from booking this category in the future. One of the reasons I booked this room was the competitive price compared to similar ammenties on other lines.

Thanks! This is very helpful. A little frustrating that the email specifically says "I've been upgraded" and that Premier is included, which this says it is not. And I agree with you that I'm disappointed the Sanctuary space is now available to more people. One of the primary reasons I booked this Suite over a mini-suite was to have access to that area. Oh well, I'll still be happy to sail.

I just got an email from Princess that I had been upgraded to the Sanctuary Collection. I booked category S9, and it does not appear my room location has changed. The emails listed out all the perks of the Sanctuary collection, but they appeared to be very similar to what I was already expecting in a signature collection suite. The only thing I believe is different is that it said you received Princess Premier; I only paid for Princess Plus. Does anyone have any info or knowledge on this topic? Thanks!

Is the concierge typically able to book specialty dining for you as well? We have the 3 night specialty dining package and would like to secure those reservations prior to boarding if at all possible.
