Ahhhh!! As a newish Princess cruiser, I am so confused! We purchased Plus with our booking which was in 2022. At the time we were told there would be no shipping charge for the Medallion, but when I purchased it I was charged $10. While we didn’t receive an email about the upgrade from the old Plus to new Plus, my parents did. We were told that we don’t HAVE to purchase it and since I can’t eat the desserts anyway, don’t do fitness classes and can get my own drinks, we chose not to upgrade, but when I look at my account it shows as PURCHASED, so I guess I would have to call anyway even though the website says to upgrade via the website……not an option. i don’t even know if our drink max will be $12 (what it was when purchased) or $15 (which many people have said they are receiving). I keep asking myself why we spent so much $$ to go on this cruise and the only answer I have is that my parents are elite with Princess and this will likely be their last cruise and they wanted us to go. It’s definitely a one and done for us (actually 2. We sailed Princess once many years ago) I have 4 bookings on our tried and true, Celebrity, and will stick with them.
