PRINCESS PLUS 2026 - What's Included and is it WORTH IT? We do the MATH!
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator examines the updated Princess Plus and Princess Premier package structures for cruises departing in 2026 and beyond. Following recent price increases and policy adjustments, the video details specific changes to beverage limits, dining inclusions, and internet access. The creator notes that specialty coffee and teas are no longer counted toward the daily drink limit for the Plus package. The analysis compares the two tiers, noting that the Premier package offers unlimited beverages, unlimited specialty dining, and a shore excursion credit. The video also addresses new costs, such as a fee for adding packages within four days of sailing and a one-time fee for Ocean Now delivery for guests without a package. To determine value, the creator performs a mathematical breakdown of daily expenses, including gratuities, internet, and beverage consumption. The creator concludes that while the value depends on individual habits, the Princess Plus package remains a strong deal for many travelers compared to paying for individual items separately.

Creator's Key Takeaways
I've been touting the Princess Packages as the best deal in the cruise industry for the past couple of years, but do they still hold up?
Princess Plus and Premier are by far and away a better deal.
The premier package would be a great option, too, if I did want to indulge a bit with my dining and especially if I'm going to take an excursion through Princess.
