Changes EVERYONE Cruising with Princess in 2025 Needs To Know About!
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator outlines several critical shifts for Princess Cruises passengers planning voyages in 2024 and 2025. Due to high demand and ships frequently sailing at over 100% capacity, the video advises booking during 2024 to secure specific dates and stateroom inventory. The creator notes that high occupancy levels may reduce the frequency of significant sales and discounts. Regarding onboard packages, the video suggests that Princess Plus prices may increase in the new year, and passengers are encouraged to lock in current rates early. The discussion also addresses the risks of booking guarantee cabins on oversold ships, recommending that travelers only accept these if non-guarantee inventory remains available near the final payment date. Finally, the creator highlights changes to the Princess Premier package, noting that the inclusion of unlimited specialty dining will likely increase demand. To avoid difficulty securing dining reservations in 2025, the video advises passengers to book as early as possible, particularly those in elite loyalty tiers or specific suite categories who have earlier access to the reservation system.
