Princess Plus at zero. Deceptive pricing

Nope  lived there a couple years but I’m in Texas and my profile in Princess is Texas so it’s not that 

My mistake. Was the cruise currency USD?

I have one future cruise booked at standard fare. My offer looks different.

But you've been told multiple times it's a glitch.

 

I stated previously this happened quite often in 2021 and 2022, where the the price didn't increase for Plus. We completed a hold booking, and Plus wasn't included. 

 

It's a glitch. 

Did you check the Travel Summary, not just the booking confirmation?

It's for a particular sailing it seems.  17 day Antarctica (Sometimes considered Southern America) sailing in Dec/January.  I can only replicate this for this particular sailing on both Princess sites and almost like this on other sites.  This has happened before where certain sailings have wonky pricing.  There was a "Free" Princess Plus offer a while back for very limited sailings, but the "Free" was supposed to covered by a fare increase.. like Princess would increase the standard fare so Princess Plus looks free.   This messed up other TAs systems so you were able to book standard fare pricing with really a free Princess Plus.

Yes and its still available online for anyone to look at and book.

The way they have Princess Plus as "applied" on the first page listed and zero cost on the second page is confusing. It makes me wonder if the package was applied/included in the cost of the room but it's not really free because you would be paying more for the cabin than the no-frills standard fare. We didn't have any pricing issues so far on our upcoming booking, but I can see how the lack of clarity in this situation would be frustrating. When it comes to a business transaction I would be wary of trusting what doesn't make total sense when the numbers don't add up.

Apparently not.

Yeah, I guess you'll be giving up your extensive law practice for your YouTube channel🙄

When you click on the Princess Plus link (the link below Total fare and above Guest 1 labels) what is displayed?

Good point.  The Travel Summary will include a detailed listing of the components for the Plus package supposedly received at $0 cost.
