Princess Cruises is making some BIG changes heading into 2027, and some of them could completely change your next cruise! From higher Princess Plus and Premier prices to the expansion of the Sanctuary Collection, the loss of popular adults-only pool areas, new Wi-Fi restrictions, and major Caribbean itinerary changes, there's a LOT happening at Princess Cruises. But are these changes actually GOOD for passengers, or are we paying more and getting less? In today's video, we're breaking down the biggest Princess Cruises changes for 2027, explaining what they mean for your upcoming cruise, and sharing our thoughts on which changes we like and which ones we're not so excited about! 🚢 PRINCESS CRUISES SANCTUARY COLLECTION EXPANSION Princess Cruises is expanding its Sanctuary Collection experience to several Royal Class ships, including Royal Princess, Regal Princess, Discovery Princess, Sky Princess, and Enchanted Princess. This brings new premium stateroom categories, exclusive dining, private pool access, and additional amenities. But there's a catch! These changes also mean that some passengers could lose access to the popular adults-only Retreat Pool and traditional Sanctuary areas. We explain how the new Sanctuary Collection differs from the original Sanctuary experience, what happens to Reserve Collection, and why these changes could be controversial among longtime Princess cruisers. 💰 PRINCESS PLUS & PREMIER PRICE INCREASES Princess Cruises has increased the cost of its popular Princess Plus and Princess Premier packages. We discuss the new pricing, what the increases mean for couples booking a seven-night cruise, and whether these packages still offer good value. 📱 PRINCESS MEDALLIONNET WI-FI CHANGES Princess has also changed its onboard Wi-Fi options! The standalone four-device internet package is no longer available, and passengers purchasing Wi-Fi separately now have fewer options. We explain the changes to Princess MedallionNet, the new standalone internet pricing discussed in the video, and how these changes affect passengers who need multiple connected devices. 🛳️ **ROYAL PRINCESS DRY DOCK UPDATES✱ Royal Princess has undergone several changes, including: • O'Malley's replacing Vines Wine Bar • An expanded Bellini's Bar • Casino layout modifications • New solo stateroom options • Staterooms transitioning to Sanctuary Collection We'll share which updates we're excited about and which ones we're going to miss! ⏱️ VIDEO CHAPTERS 00:00 – Princess Cruises BIG Changes for 2027! 00:21 – Sanctuary Collection Expanding to More Princess Ships 01:14 – Sanctuary Collection vs. Traditional Sanctuary 03:00 – Sanctuary Collection Benefits, Dining & Premier Package 06:50 – Losing the Adults-Only Retreat Pool 09:54 – What These Changes Mean for Existing Bookings 11:45 – Royal Princess Dry Dock Changes & New Amenities 13:58 – Princess Plus & Premier Price Increases 14:32 – Are Princess Cruise Packages Getting Too Expensive? 16:20 – Princess MedallionNet Wi-Fi Changes 18:13 – Major Changes to Caribbean Departure Ports 19:15 – San Juan & Barbados: Better Itineraries or Higher Costs? 21:17 – Exploring More of the Southern Caribbean 22:31 – Are These Princess Cruises Changes Good or Bad? 23:02 – We Want to Hear YOUR Thoughts! 24:18 – Final Thoughts & Stay Constantly Cruising! 💬 WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
