You were probably talking to the off shore Princess casino department. They are pretty much clueless. Best to get the free cabin pay the $200 deposit and then get a CVP to get things straightened out
By keeping Reserve and regular dining to different dining rooms for lunch it keeps the staff in Reserve from dealing with diners who cant get into regular lunch but see empty tables in Reserve and try to talk their way in especially on embarkation day
I have seen it at every meal. Some just walking in and trying to sit down. Others want to argue that since there are open tables they should be entitled to them
By moving non reserve diners to a different dining room for breakfast and lunch it keeps those who don’t want to wait for tables from trying to force their way into reserve. And only the reserve area is used
No if one gets the plus package the 2nd must as well. If you only want the beverage package then yes but that costs more than plus and does not come with Wi-Fi and gratuities
The only casual restaurants on Princess that were free are the sit down pizza restaurant that are not in all ships. All other casual restaurants already had a fee
