A la Carte vs Princess Packages

[CrazyTrain2]

Does anyone have a "a la carte" pricing for the benefits contained in Princess Plus and Princess Premier upgrade packages?

 

I know Princess has been moving previously included in base fare benefits to the bundle packages and then slapping charges on folks that choose not purchase a bundle.

 

I'm waiting for "air conditioning" and "fresh water" to be moved to a bundled package.  Elevator Fee next?

Here is what I have:

WiFi
1 device	14.99/day
4 devices	19.99/day
Gratuities (depends on cabin class)	16-18/day
Fitness Classes (estimate based on internet talk)	20/class
Specialty Dining - varies by restaurant, usually $30-40
(You have to look up each restaurant individually)
Specialty Desserts - Package is $11.80 for 2 so $6 each?
Photo Package 5 photos - 90, 10 photos -169 (digital & prints)

Where does the 4-device number come from?

 

The old prices were $10 & $20.

Supposed to be $15 & $40 now.  You are showing still $20.  Why would anyone buy 1 device given the prices above?

Fitness classes are $30 each.

This price is a joke  considering some classes are only 30mins.

Why pay $30 when the stairs are a free stairmaster and the promenade is a free treadmill?  

 

Marketing 101 - sell the sizzle and most consumers are sheeple.

There's a whole new generation out there that is hell bent on fitness, and paying membership fees to stay fit. The cruise industry will try to capitalize on that.

I have been running stairs and using the promenade daily. When the Prom is closed, i just walk the cabin floors. It’s a good workout!

Those classes have always had a charge this is nothing new. You can use the gym for free

Yes but hour classes were $12-$15 plus 18% 

not $30 for 30 mins

I got the prices for WiFi from the Princess.com website. Fitness classes, I couldn't find on the website so I was going off posts here and blog posts elsewhere. Good to know the actual price!

 

Why would people take classes? Some people like to work out in groups. In my case, I want to take a spin class at least once a week because I'll be training for a triathlon and don't want to miss two weeks of biking. I know I can do it without a class but I also know that I won't. LOL

 

I do have a question about those specialty desserts. What qualifies and what sorts of things are they? Is this something I would really use? I like things like chocolate mousse pie, but I'm not going to eat an enormous sundae (or any sundae, tbh) Also, what do they *really* cost?

A more pressing question is how many of them would you actually pay for.
