BREAKING CRUISE NEWS! HUGE CHANGES TO PRINCESS DRINK PACKAGES NO MORE SODA OR COFFEE ONBOARD UPDATES
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator discusses significant changes to Princess Cruises beverage packages effective February 20, 2023. Several previous options, including the classic soda package, the new Grounds Coffee package, and the zero alcohol package, are being discontinued. This shift leaves travelers with the choice of the Princess Plus or Premiere packages, which include Wi-Fi and gratuities. The creator analyzes the cost-effectiveness of these new bundles, noting that for non-drinkers, the specialized packages were previously a better value. The video also explores alternative ways to manage beverage needs, such as ordering soda or water packages to be delivered to staterooms via the cruise personalizer. Beyond beverage updates, the creator provides reports from passengers currently on board various ships. These updates include observations regarding long dining room lines due to reservation timing, the quality of food on Holland America, and reports of illness on a South Pacific sailing. The creator concludes by suggesting that these changes across the cruise industry are likely revenue-driven responses to rising operational costs.
