aus1235 Posted June 18 #1 Share Posted June 18 Hello All, Can I get some advice here, I am going on a cruise with Princess later in the year in a group of 3 Adults sharing one room. I am the third person name on the room, The Other Adults are not keen for Princess Plus however I am wanting to take the plus package. I have been advise that because the other 2 whom are the people not wanting the package, It can not be applied to myself because they are the main 2 people on the list. Now are 3 adults mind you. Can This package be applied when I board the ship for myself on embarkation day or anytime leading up to the cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One person in a cabin can’t have it. If they drink good coffee or drink wine or cocktails or mocktails it’s a definite cost saver for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Itchy&Scratchy Posted June 18 #3 Share Posted June 18 yeap, at least one other adult must have the same package, unless you move into a cabin of your own. If you convince the other adult to have it, have you bumped up to the second name on the list, so that you and the first person have the Plus, and the third doesn't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be cheaper for him to pay for 2 Packages than move into a room on his own. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voljeep Posted June 18 #6 Share Posted June 18 I would wait until boarding then try to add PLUS for P3. Definitely have a backup plan if turned down, and if accepted, keep checking all folios daily for charges 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memoak Posted June 18 #7 Share Posted June 18 I don’t think you can get around the rule that if one wants the package at least one other must get it as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could trade it for the best bed but the people I can trade it for can kick me out of their inheritance(Seeing that it is my mum and dad is Passenger 1 and 2). hehehe On 6/19/2024 at 4:00 AM, memoak said: I don’t think you can get around the rule that if one wants the package at least one other must get it as well. Just spoke to Princess Cruises and they have advise that they CAN do it. All I have to do is speak to the Travel Agent Again or Ring Princess Cruises and they will add it on for myself. I did say why did myself and the TA received the wrong info. They could not really give a correct answer. They have put notes on the booking number that 3rd Passenger will be getting the Plus package 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am Passenger 3, Passenger 1 and 2 are not keen on it. I believe it has been a change of heart by princess after I added the Passport which has got my DOB on it(Not too sure if that is the case but that is the only thing to change on the booking) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds as though they do make occasional exceptions to their rule. At least when it's involving a third person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Raider Posted June 21 #18 Share Posted June 21 6 hours ago, aus1235 said: Email from the TA to Confirm At $65 per day, it sounds like you received the Plus beverage package and not the Plus fare package, which has always been allowed. The Plus fare package is $60 per day pp but must be purchased by at least the first two people in each cabin. This covers not only the Plus beverage package but also, WiFi, gratuities, 2 casual dining visits, etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drink package does not require all guests in a room to purchase it. (I typed too slow. @Cruise Raider beat me to it!) But... if the cruise is Australian, then the Princess Plus package (Drinks, WIFI & Crew Appreciation) would be $65 Australian. I just noticed the OP's name, so they might be Australian.

We may both be wrong but, it sounds like that is what he got. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skynight Posted June 21 #22 Share Posted June 21 $65/day sounds like the stand alone plus beverage package. The package cost is really $64.99 + 18% = $76.69/day. The stand alone package does not include wifi internet and the daily gratuity. If you require unlimited wifi internet that would be an additional $25/day, $12.50 if you are platinum or elite loyalty level. I believe a single day wifi is $30. The daily gratuity is posted to your account each day and it is $16, $17 or $18 depending on your cabin category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense, especially as his CC name is @aus1235. If so, I stand corrected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skynight Posted June 21 #25 Share Posted June 21 Yes, makes sense, AUS$. The Australian package includes the beverage package, wifi and other things. The gratuity is included in the fare. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
