Frequently Asked Questions
Princess Plus ($65/person/day on regular ships, $70 on Sphere-class Sun and Star Princess) bundles the Plus Beverage Package (drinks up to $15), MedallionNet Max WiFi for 1 device, Crew Appreciation (gratuities), 4 casual dining meals (up from 2), 2 fitness or yoga classes, OceanNow delivery, the room-service tray fee waived, and 2 specialty desserts.
Premier ($100/person/day regular, $105 Sphere) raises the drink cap to $20, covers WiFi for 4 devices, makes casual dining unlimited, adds 2 specialty dining meals, the Premier Photo Package (unlimited digital plus 3 prints), reserved theater seating, unlimited fitness classes, and a shore excursion credit of $100 for 6 to 9 nights, $200 for 10 to 20 nights, and $300 for 21-plus nights.
Yes. Crew Appreciation is fully included in both Plus and Premier, so you do not pay the daily cabin-tier rate ($18/person/day standard in 2026) on top. The 20% service charge on optional drinks outside the package allowance still applies.
It adds up the personal value of each perk you would actually use (drinks within the cap and with gratuity, WiFi for the devices you need, gratuities if you would pay them anyway, casual and specialty dining you would buy, plus soft perks) and compares that total to the bundle's added fare over your whole trip. If the value you would use exceeds the fare, the bundle wins.

- Princess Plus vs Premier 2026: The New $70 and $105 MathFrom October 13, 2026, Princess Plus costs $70 per person per day and Premier $105 when bought before the cruise, $5 more than now. The $35 gap between them is unchanged. Take out the $18 crew appreciation you would pay anyway and Plus now costs $52 a day for what it adds.
- Princess Final Payment Is Now 120 Days: The Cancel MathPrincess moved final payment to 120 days and rewrote the cancellation ladder for new bookings on cruises up to 44 days. On a 7-day sailing the 100 percent forfeit window grows from 30 days to 60, a cancellation at 80 days out now costs three quarters of the booking instead of a quarter, and deposits are up 20 to 25 percent. Here is the old schedule against the new one, dollar by dollar, and the one-in-ten test for whether Princess Vacation Protection pays.
- Celebrity Concierge Class: What Free Room Service Is WorthCelebrity Concierge Class now waives the $9.95 per-order room service fee in place of the old afternoon canapés. One order a day on a 7-night cruise saves the cabin $69.65, or up to $83.58 if the 20% gratuity no longer rides on the fee.
