Re: new "packages" and changes to the Plus pkg
Am I missing something here? We are new to Princess and got the Plus pkg. Under the old rules, we could go to Alfredo's whenever for free, as could any cruiser. Under the new "improved" Plus pkg, Princess has grouped Alfredo's with other casual speciality dining options, so it is also not available to Plus pkg guests as well as those who do not purchase the Plus or Premier pkg. Now, Plus pkg guests can go to Alfredo's for free only one time, as they get one voucher for specialty casual dining for each guest. If this is how it works, this is not IMO an "improved" Plus pkg.
It seems that even Plus pkg purchasers are getting something less than they used to. For us, I could care less about the possibility for quicker boarding. That has no value for me. Princess press release states that "These expanded enhancements demonstrate the cruise line’s focus on providing unmatched service and value for guests." There is no benefit for Plus pkg other than quicker boarding and they took away Plus pkg purchasers ability to go to Alfredo's numerous times for free. There is NO IMPROVED VALUE to the new Plus pkg.
