Creator's Key Takeaways

I paid $1,470 for the Princess Premier package on Sky Princess. And after using it for the entire cruise, I already know that I would never ever buy it again.

The right question is not is the premier package worth it. The right question is will I use enough of what is included to make it worth it for me.

When I added up what the different benefits would have cost me separately, I came up with about $1,388. So, based on my numbers, I overpaid by about $82.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Do the math to see if the bundle cost is lower than buying items a la carte based on your specific habits.
Book specialty dining in advance before the cruise starts to ensure availability.
Consider if you actually need multiple Wi-Fi devices or photo packages before committing to the Premier tier.
