"Susain Andruskin has booked the Princess Plus package on her world cruise for 2025. But it gets her just two casual dining meals in 113 days.

“We have booked the 2025 world cruise with the Plus Package, it’s 113 days, yet still only two casual dining meals, how fair is that? Surely it should be at least per sector?”

What’s making her angry is that someone booking a short cruise gets exactly the same."

"Want to travel the world? Have the stomach to spend one-third of the year at sea?

If the answer to both of those questions is yes, and you have $20,000 to spend, Princess Cruises has the trip of a lifetime for you.

The cruise line has released details about an upcoming world cruise that will visit 52 ports in 28 countries, spanning six continents and traveling 35,000 nautical miles."

"The next, not-to-be-missed total solar eclipse takes place on August 12, 2026, and once again a Princess cruise ship will be perfectly positioned, this time in northern Spain, to witness this bucket list event - two minutes and 18 seconds of totality. The 3,660-guest Sky Princess departs Southampton August 8, 2026, on a 14-day Mediterranean cruise, highlighted with total eclipse viewing while the ship is in its path at sea off the coast of Spain."

"Thankfully, the Sun Princess is equipped with Elon Musk’s magical internet and this enabled us to join video meetings but also upload to social media, stream Netflix and more; this was a pleasant surprise. While the younger generation gets a lot of stick for being glued to their phones, a quick look around the ship showed that even the older generation loved the enhanced connectivity with phones and tablets in hand everywhere. Whether for solitaire or scrolling, it’s a welcomed addition."

"Like Island Princess’ revised 2025 world cruise to avoid the Red Sea, Crown Princess will also no longer visit Asia or the Middle East on her 113-day 2025 world cruise departing Sydney June 4."

"If there’s one significant shortcoming to mention, it’s Princess Casino. While its gambling options are fun and its high ceilings are a nice touch, the (permitted) smoking and resulting secondhand fumes (with no enclosed cigar lounge elsewhere) often linger into adjacent venues, including the sushi bar and multiple levels of the atrium."
