Is Princess Plus Worth It in 2027? vs Paying Out of Pocket
Princess Plus & Premier 2027 — Packages vs Paying Out of Pocket: is it still worth it after the latest price increases? In this updated Princess Cruises package comparison, we do the math and help you decide whether Princess Plus, Princess Premier, or paying à la carte makes the most sense for the way YOU cruise. Note: This video is packages vs out-of-pocket math — not a pure Plus vs Premier head-to-head. A true Plus vs Premier showdown is coming soon. Princess has increased the price of Plus and Premier for sailings departing on or after October 13, 2026, while also making changes to Wi-Fi pricing, beverage costs, dining, gratuities and other onboard expenses. So how much value are you really getting in 2027? In this video, we break down what is included with Princess Plus and Princess Premier, including: • Princess Plus vs Premier pricing for 2027 • Beverage package limits and drink values • Specialty and casual dining benefits • MedallionNet Max Wi-Fi and the new internet options • Crew Appreciation / gratuities • OceanNow delivery and room service charges • Princess Premier shore excursion credit • Reserved theatre seating and photo benefits • Platinum and Elite Captain's Circle Wi-Fi discounts • The real cost of cruising without a package More importantly, we look at several different passenger scenarios. What if you don't drink alcohol? What if one person drinks and the other doesn't? What if you're Platinum or Elite and already receive discounted Wi-Fi? Does Princess Plus still make sense? When does upgrading to Princess Premier become worthwhile? I also break down what I personally spend during a typical day onboard Princess Cruises, including gratuities, internet, coffee, beer, cocktails and wine, and compare that total with the cost of Princess Plus. There is no single package that is right for everyone. The key is to have a good, honest look at how YOU cruise, what you actually use onboard, and do the math for your own situation. If you're planning a Princess Cruise in 2027 or beyond, this updated Princess Plus and Premier comparison will help you understand the new prices and decide which option gives you the best value.
