Princess Plus, is it worth it, do the math.

I never saw anyone abusing alcohol on our last cruise


Princess Plus is an add on Princess Cruises has that covers alcohol, gratuities and wi-fi.  The first two passengers need to purchase it.  I've cruised with Princess Plus and without out the package.  

For my last cruise, I did the math.  It was a 16 day cruise and we had 11 sea days so we would be on the ship more than most cruises.  The cost for Princess Plus Canadian is CAD $81.00 per person per day.  It includes 15 drinks, alcoholic, coffee or water; gratuities which for us was US$18.00 per day per person and wi-fi.  This is where I lose it.  They only give you one wi-fi device per person.  Both my husband and I have two devices so we need two sign ons each.  Yes, you can toggle between two devices, but that's a pain.

It would have cost me CAD$2,592.00 for Princess Plus

Gratuities cost me US$18.00 per person per day (we had a mini suite so it's more)  US$576.00   CAD $806.07

Wi-fi for 4 devices was CAD$500.94   (I get 50% off loyalty discount)

I never bought any alcohol on board.  I don't need the sugar or calories and I'm doing it for my health.  My husband rarely drinks and is fine without it.

I took my reusable water container so I never paid for water.

Princess has Lavazza coffee which is excellent.  Want a free coffee, go to the buffet!

My onboard charges:  CAD$ 1,307.01     Saved CAD$1,294.99

and I lost 1.5 pounds!!!!!    Next cruise, Standard fare not Princess Plus!
