Editorial Summary

The creator provides a comprehensive breakdown of what is included in a Princess Cruises fare and identifies various hidden costs. Included amenities cover accommodations, daily room cleaning, and requests for items like extra ice, fans, or different pillows. Dining options that are part of the standard fare include the main dining room, the 24-hour international cafe, the buffet, and various pool deck options like burgers and soft serve ice cream. Complimentary activities such as trivia, dance classes, and production shows are also highlighted. Conversely, the video notes that port fees, taxes, automatic gratuities, specialty dining, and Wi-Fi are not included in the base fare. The creator also evaluates the Princess Plus and Princess Premiere packages, performing a cost-benefit analysis to determine if the daily fees for these upgrades are worth the added value of Wi-Fi, drinks, and dining. Ultimately, the creator concludes that while many things are free, travelers should decide on upgrade packages based on their specific consumption habits regarding internet, alcohol, and specialty meals.

Creator's Key Takeaways

the biggest thing the first thing that's included is your accommodation so that is your cabin

you can ask for fresh fruit I didn't know you can ask for them to bring you fresh fruit to your room

princess plus is $60 per person per day so that adds up for a 7-Day cruise to $420

I think it is yes so for me the value of the princess plus is there to judge for yourself

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Ask your state room attendant for things outside the ordinary to make your cabin more comfortable
βœ“Use the Princess Plus package if you want Wi-Fi, as it adds up to $175 for one device on a 7-day cruise
