Munday Posted September 1, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) Before it was eliminated, I bought the New Grounds Coffee Package for my DW back on Feb 1/23 for our Caribbean Princess cruise in October. It is still showing in my Cruise Personalizer under Reservations and Purchases. Does anyone have any recent real world experience with this? Is it still being honoured on board or should I just cancel it, take the refund and have my DW buy coffee A la carte? Thanks in advance for your advice.

All they will do is give you obc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coo359a2 Posted September 2, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I did the same thing - bought the New Grounds Coffee package in Dec 2022 for our cruise 26 Sept 2023. There have been a couple of postings since Dec that said their coffee package was honored for the 15 specialty coffees. I didn't cancel my coffee package and will wait and see what happens once we are on board. If we get OBC, DH will just have prepaid for several drinks and still be happy.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re in the same boat, so to speak. 😂 We’ll just hold onto ours too. See what happens. Since then, the last 3 cruises have all been different….. we’ve gotten obc, extra obc and once honored for the 15 coffees. Doubt we’ll get the 15 coffees honored though, as they probably updated their system OB since the last 3 mos? 😩 Who knows? Keep me posted with your Sep. cruise.

Munday Posted September 2, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I decided to just cancel the package. FYI, the “Cancel” button on the Cruise Personalizer wouldn’t do anything for me, either on iOS or Windows. I had to chat with a Princess Rep and have him/her do it for me. I thought this was a humorous part of the chat though: 2023-09-02T06:18:08-07:00, agent: Let me ask, May I know the reason why you want to cancel your coffee package? 2023-09-02T06:18:49-07:00, Munday: The coffee package isn’t available anymore and isn't honoured on board2023-09-02T06:20:18-07:00, agent: I see. How did you find out about it?2023-09-02T06:20:33-07:00, Munday: Read it on many forums 2023-09-02T06:21:45-07:00, agent: Alright. Let me cancel it now. Please allow me one moment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have asked her why she was asking me and was it a "state secret" that it was discontinued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee, it seems like it was discontinued well before that date. Losing track of time here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was mentioned I believe in Dec 2022 when they talked about the Plus going from $50 to $60 sometime in early Feb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
