Creator's Key Takeaways

Princess announced that they have changed the Princess Plus and Premier packages. And honestly, it's not great.

Those are steep prices. The only added value added value to this is now you are going to have four casual dining meals per sailing whereas before you only had two.

I don't believe the value is added for it.

They are actually taking away things that they're saying that people aren't using.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you have a cruise booked for 2025, nothing is changing for you.
If you have a cruise booked in 2026 with a current package, you can continue without changes.
Consider if the new benefits are worth the price increase, especially for shorter cruises.
