Stokie33 Posted April 28, 2023 #26 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I phoned my cruise specialist the other day and was quoted £700 to change to premier from the old plus, it’s a 14 night cruise. She said we would now be at $15 max per drink but wouldn’t get the juice bar or premier desserts, she also said you can’t upgrade to new plus only premier, obviously I didn’t do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the FAQs published when the higher price points and new features were announced was that you could upgrade from old Plus to either new Plus or new Premier.

Can I ask what $ limit did you get if you had the “old” package. We bought it when it was still only £30pppd. $15 limit. There is no differential depending on what price you paid for the Plus package. Everyone gets the $15 limit. If you bought at the old price you get all the benefits, except the new items such as keep fit classes, ice cream desserts etc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had the old plus package and we were limited to $12 You should have challenged that. It is a wrong interpretation of the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignore what the app says. Go to your cruise personaliser for your cruise on the Princess web page. Then select Onboard Services. Select Beverage Packages. You should then get a message in red, as shown. Then you can review your confirmed packages, and it should show that you have the Plus drinks package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the same on the personaliser as well for the holiday after next for the premier “75/85”. Nothing as yet on the app as it is too far out to show it. The $12 limit is showing for our next holiday on the app for plus package. The whole thing is a cluster boorach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gah_cruise Posted April 28, 2023 #39 Share Posted April 28, 2023 no worries...App says drinks max $20 which is what I would have expected (up from $18). Princess IT...SNAFU 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This means you have the old Premier package. You get everything you were promised, you do not get the new special additions on the New Premier package. I had that and upgraded to the New package for $5 pp/pd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year on Enchanted, Peroni...although shown on the menu was only available for the last 3 days of a 7 day cruise (always replaced with Heinekin sadly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just the room service menu, which is somewhat limited in selection. Check at actual bars on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
