Awesome info! One little correction for you. Princess Plus gets you 2 premium dessert per day. Not per cruise. Which if you love those premium deserts. That can really add up in the savings.
Do they have servers at the buffet? I think the premier package would be best for us. NO Kids but I am a grandma so this might not be the right cruise for a family trip. I like the breakfast delivery just for the coffee. Could be nice to cut my husband off WI Fi. For a few days Monopoly money would make it easy to pay for everything. ❤😂🎉
Some of the buffet has servers, but it is mostly self serve. I suggest washing your hands before and after getting your food just in case others don’t wash their hands. Princess Premiere is an easy way to make your cruise more luxurious. I think younger kids are fine on Princess. Teenagers might prefer NCL or Royal Caribbean with their rock climbing walls, ziplines, and water slides. And don’t we all wish we could use monopoly $$ to pay for our cruise. 😂😊Happy Sailing.
Ooo. Emma. I’m honored. Thank you for hosting. I appreciate you sharing your experiences with a newbie. I find your content and style so inspiring. Looking forward to a lifetime of cruising and growing my channel like you have grown yours. Cheers.
Thank you for the review. I have Crohn's Disease and thus cannot and should not drink alcohol, but for me, the Primer Drinks package is absolutely worth getting for $80.00 per day on my upcoming European cruise. 1. I have a minisuite for my upcoming cruise. Gratuities are $17. per person, $80 - $17 for tips = 63 dollars. 2. I do my best to exercise for my autoimmune disease, so I will participate in fitness classes, especially yoga, which helps with my illness. Since I will only be able to take fitness classes on half of the days due to excursions booked, I estimate $8.00 for classes-for $63 - $8 = $55. 3. I like smoothies every day, sometimes twice a day = $55 - 12 = $43 4. On cruise ships, if I have a drinks package, I like bottled water - eight bottles per day, especially if I am going on excursions - 8 x $2.5 = $10.00 = 18% gratuity = $11.80. So, $43 - $11.80 - = $31.20 5. I am running two NODEs for two different cryptocurrencies. For this purpose, I need two computers, plus an iPad and my iPhone. I can use Messenger as an interface for phone calls and texting, and I have an iPad for use on the ship. $31.20 - 25 = $6.20 for the cost of the Wifi. 6. I like casual dining-about half the days I am at sea-so instead of $14.99, I divide that number by half, which is $7.50. So $6.20 - $7.50 = I am ahead by $1.30 cents. 7. I enjoy specialty coffees and teas, so $7.50 - $1.30 + $7.50 means I am ahead of the game by $8.80. 8. It is nice to have unlimited professional photographs delivered to my cell phone or USB and three printed pictures. So, I would add even more value to the $8.80. It is nice to know that I am taking advantage of things, even if I cannot drink alcohol.
Wow! You have put a lot of thought and calculations into your decision. I bet you get great deals on your cruises too. I agree that Princess has the best all inclusive package out there. Have a lovely cruise!😊
Love all of the info!!! I so appreciate how you broke it down to help decide if the premiere or plus packages are truly a value. I might want to do the fitness classes and enjoy smoothies and tea. Would you suggest upgrading?
I 100% agree! I even like eating in the main dining room for breakfast. Yummy omelets and eggs benedict. Thanks for watching and commenting! Happy sailing!
Thank you for the feedback. I’ll dial it down next time. Unfortunately once a video is active, I can’t adjust. I appreciate your comment as it will improve future offerings. I hope you subscribe to follow my growth in editing and content.
@@cruisingwithkristie I do appreciate your videos though.I sailed once on Princess cruise and loved it.I booked a Caribbean cruise on the Majestic Princess for 14 days in 2026.
Thank you. I’m glad that you like my videos and I want you to keep coming back. I’m excited for you to sail on the Majestic Princess. It is a great ship!
Princess seems to have really reduced staffing as service is nowhere near what it used to be and their ratings show it. As an elite traveler, I like thousands of others, will be looking elsewhere. Princess has commoditized their business trying to be everything to everyone and not doing anything well.
I guess I just know the difference. Our experience on this he Majestic Princess last fall was great. We are cruising on Sapphire Princess in a few weeks. I’m curious to see how I feel about that experience.
What is your favorite included part of cruising? Please subscribe if you haven’t done so already.
My favorite part of cruising is the food.
I would have to agree. Well, the food and the entertainment and the ports and…

You are most welcome! Thank YOU for watching and commenting. Be sure to stay tuned. My next video is about Princess package changes. 😀
Love the cost breakdown for the two packages!
Glad to help. My friend lives the photos, so she goes for premiere. I go with the plus for the drinks.
Love all of the info!!! I so appreciate how you broke it down to help decide if the premiere or plus packages are truly a value.
I might want to do the fitness classes and enjoy smoothies and tea. Would you suggest upgrading?
For me it really comes down to 1. If you can live without WI FI and 2. If you just like the convenience of not having to worry about extras.
Main dining. Like to try new food I normally won’t see back home.
I so agree with you. I love going out to a nice restaurant every night. Thanks for watching and commenting! Happy sailing. 🚢🛳️😊
@@cruisingwithkristiefor the main dining its included in the princess standard right,, thank you so much
@@gengflores5708yes. The main dining room is included in the standard fare. 😊
Main dining room is preferred.

The dings are very annoying whilst wearing headphones.

$420 plus 18%
What’s $420? The price you paid for your cruise?
@@cruisingwithkristie for princess plus drink package
That is correct. A pretty good deal.
Sadly everything is included. Tips are included!
Thanks for watching and commenting.
