That's another joke, 'bid for upgrade' . Why not call it what it actually is, an upsell.

These packages, just like the 'bid for upgrade' program for cabins are NOT designed to serve passengers. Rather they skew the profitability index of each sailing passenger in terms of revenue pp. I wonder who in the echelons of Princess figured out the 15 drink per day, and internet packages.

What a load of BS.
She must be paid off by Carnival to give such a write-up.
2 drinks a day.  ;D ::)
Since when has "Crew appreciation" become mandatory? I've never heard someone post that before. Maybe it's Princess's new slant on gratuities.
Keep saying it long and loud enough and it becomes fact.
Where have I heard that before?  ::)

"I hate the wallet-wrenching surprise of that final invoice, filled with a few more drinks than I remember ordering, the WiFi I couldn't live without, and the specialty dining restaurants I splurged on.

But all that changed the moment I discovered the Premier Cruises' Premier Princess package on Princess Cruises during a family vacation on the Regal Princess in December."

Cruising Tips Chatter / New W-2g trigger limit for gamblers/casinos?
« Last post by obendus on May 19, 2024, 10:55:50 AM »

Is a revised trigger limit for declaring winnings to the IRS using a W-2g form about to change? The $1200 trigger has been in place since 1977.

Great job, once again. There are to few people who appreciate it.
I tried to post a link on Cruise Critic to tell others about it but they squashed the post before it even appeared.  :'(

Saying thank-you seems so inadequate, but this effort must be praised and acknowledged..  so thank you Mike.
I shall scroll, copy and mark the h*ll out of it with abandon.
