Editorial Summary

The creator discusses recent policy changes made by Princess Cruises that have led to significant client dissatisfaction and cancellations. She explains that the cruise line has modified its package offerings, such as Princess Plus and Princess Premiere, by removing previously included amenities like free room service and access to the Alfredo dining option. These services now require additional fees or specific upgrades. Furthermore, the creator highlights issues with the Medallion system, noting that passengers who cannot have their medallions mailed to them are relegated to slower boarding lanes despite paying for premium packages. The central grievance involves the cruise line applying these new rules to passengers who booked their cruises well in advance of the policy change. The creator argues that companies should honor the original terms of a package at the time of booking rather than arbitrarily changing benefits and demanding more money from existing customers. She concludes by noting that such decisions can drive loyal customers to seek alternative cruise lines, citing a specific client who cancelled eighteen thousand dollars worth of bookings due to these frustrations.
