Rare CineGraphic Posted June 27, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I know that when the new Premiere package was announced, several of us who booked prior to Premiere being implemented had Premiere showing up in our summaries. Here's mine: Well, now that the program has been rolled out, my summary now shows this: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxmantoo Posted June 27, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Our Travel Summary for two cruises booked before the introduction of the "Premier" package also showed "Premier" drinks. One of them was changed to "Plus" today (as it should be, can't complain) and I imagine the other one will change soon also. 😪 I thought for a while, as did my travel agent, that we might get away with it. Oh well ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommyOTwins Posted June 27, 2022 #3 Share Posted June 27, 2022 The spelling difference “Premier” vs “Premiere” is actually important. Previously, when Princess sold drinks packages a la carte, it only had one alcoholic drink package and it was called “Premier” (no “e” at end). When you bought plus, you were getting a bundle with the Premier drinks package, wifi, and crew appreciation. When princess rolled out “Premiere” as an alternative to “Plus” the old drink package name became confusing. So they changed it to “Plus”. You never had Premiere, the new package, you only had Premier, the old drink component which is now Plus. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skynight Posted June 27, 2022 #5 Share Posted June 27, 2022 The old plus fare included the Premier drink package which individually sold for $70 and change per day. That old package has now changed its name to the plus beverage package and the premier package is the new one that includes drinks up to $18. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Hag Posted June 27, 2022 #8 Share Posted June 27, 2022 It seems to me that Princess could have avoided some confusion if they'd called the new package some else, like "Ultimate" perhaps. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess is way too understaffed and economically strapped to do anything more than add an "e" to one of it's current beverage package names. Anything more creative or labor intensive than that will make all of our cruise fares go up beyond the current steal of $100 per day that everyone keeps talking about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memoak Posted June 27, 2022 #10 Share Posted June 27, 2022 This is all semantics. As I predicted the new plan is mostly for the wine drinkers not those of us who drink “normal” cocktails. The liquor list just shared in another thread includes Grey Goose and Bulliet on the list for plus package which suits our needs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
