Excellent cruise destination, though we felt nickel and dimed on the journey.

Review summary

Overall our cruise was an excellent experience. However, we felt nickel and dimed throughout the journey. After being upsold on the Princess Plus package, we repeatedly found the small print limited what the package advertised for food options. As an example, the introduction of premium restaurant lunch offerings actually replaced some of the casual dining opportunities that would normally be included in the Plus Package. We miss the days of having an all-inclusive experience without being upsold at every opportunity.

I'm sorry you felt up sold. We always choose plus and always felt the value.

The Plus package isn’t a nickel and dime, it’s a lot of money. However, if you would buy those things anyway, drinks, internet, special deserts, etc then it can save you money. Why be upset for the cruise line offering people to purchase something that may save them money. If it doesn’t save you money, don’t buy it.

I don't understand your food comment. Are you saying you got a free lunch in specialty dining and that replaced a casual dining? I'd take that in a heart beat
