Who would like this for an Elite Benifit?

[cjpj]

Instead of a minibar set up, why doesn't Princess offer the benifit to purchase the Princess Premiere package at the cost of the Princess Plus; the same way the insurance upgrades are available?

I would not complain about that since we always book the Plus Package.  I think they would be giving away a lot more value, so I don't see it happening.

Nah! I don’t always need the pkg.

I’ll take the mini bar

That wouldn't work well for us, since we don't drink alcohol and it's less expensive for us to just pay for the things that we do want. Plus, we really like trading the mini bar for two coffee packages.

Okay, let's add more caveats. If you don't book a Princess Plus/upgrade to Premium package, you'd still get the mini bar setup. Win-Win.

I don't thing they are giving away that much from the Plus to the Premium.  Isn't that what perks are all about.

Not for us.  Anyway Princess has been taking away from Elite benefits not adding  and I do not think they feel they need to add because their Elites probably do not venture far from Princess.

Won’t happen in a million years. However, I do like the idea however, we’re happy with the Plus package and what it offers. Eventually you going to see some Elite benefits disappearing and replace with something that is totally useless to us Elite members. What would be nice is our own dining area or our own private bar for Elite members only.

I would be a big NO vote on this. Both packages are way overpriced imo given our drinking habits and I much prefer to use the bar setup to exchange for 2 coffee ‘cards’.
 

Also since we often take longer voyages the cost of the drink package can sometimes be more than than the cost of the voyage. 

[Guest ldtr]

Considering the number of Elite (quite of 25% of the passengers or more) adding any benefits would have significant cost or if no cost not much value because of the large number of elites.  Would rather have the cruise line collect the extra dollars from those that want premium and help keep fare costs lower.

 

Adding another benefit just gives more for some to complain about.

After having the Plus package for a few cruises I've come to realize it's not the bargain I once thought.

We're returning to paying our gratuities & getting the setup for coffee.

True. However, I hate that invoice at the end of our cruise. Lol

There no such thing as a small invoice when it comes to my wife and I.

No perks, just reasonable  pricing.
