Creator's Key Takeaways

Princess has created a lot of confusion. With all the changes and cutbacks, the big question is whether the packages are still worth it.

The good news is that one of the packages is still one of a kind in the industry and offers amazing value.

It truly was a worry-free premium all-inclusive experience.

While the Plus package is now only slightly more competitive than other lines, there's nothing that matches the premier package for what it includes and how much you save.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you need internet for the entire cruise and drink four or five sodas, cocktails, or glasses of wine every day, the Plus package can save you money.
If video streaming is important to you, the Plus package still offers the most value.
Advanced reservations are a must for specialty dining on Sphere class ships.
