Back in late February 2020 (that seems so long ago, now doesn’t it?) Princess Cruises was finishing up on their “Best. Sale. Ever.”, and I thought it certainly was the best sale ever.  It included free drinks, free wi-fi and free pre-paid gratuities.  At the time, I really wanted them to extend the sale, as it was a very good deal for my clients.  Well, on March 2, they did indeed extend the sale, and went one better by introducing “Princess Plus” pricing, which is a new pricing structure, and not a limited time promotion based exactly how the Best.  Sale.  Ever.  worked!  For just a bit more money (approx. $40.00 US per person per day) you can get the Premium Beverage Package, Unlimited Wi-Fi, and Princess will pre-pay your gratuities for you.  Currently, that’s about a $95.00 US value!  It’s truly a great deal!

Princess Plus will be available on cruises 3 days or longer and on all cruisetours.  This fare includes drinks, Wi-Fi and gratuities.  (NOTE that these perks are NOT available during the land portion of a cruisetour).  Also, this pricing strategy is capacity controlled, so book your cruise early!

MORE REASONS WHY PRINCESS PLUS IS PRINCESS CRUISES BEST VALUE:

  • No Hidden Fees
  • Offer applies to all stateroom types
  • Simple “One Choice” offer
  • Premier Beverage Package, not a lower-tier drink package
  • Unlimited Wi-Fi, not a minute-based package
  • Offer available in all categories, and includes 3rd, 4th, or 5th guest in the room!

DEPOSIT:
Deposits are refundable up until the final payment date of the cruise.  Deposits are required for the first & second guests only, except on WORLD & GRAND voyages where deposits are required for 3rd & 4th guests.  There usually is a Non-Refundable deposit option available as well, but I usually don’t recommend those.

We can also book your Princess Cruise without the Princess Plus amenities, saving you about $40, per person per day.  Personally, I would rather spend the bit extra and get the Princess Plus amenities…it’s truly a great value!

Are you ready to begin planning a Princess Cruise?  I know I am!

Princess Cruises is usually my first choice when booking my personal vacations.  I wrote a blog entry a while back detailing why I love Princess Cruises.  You can read that entry here.  For me, each time I’m onboard a Princess ship, cements the fact that Princess is my favorite cruise line.  Drop me an email or give me a call if you have any questions, as I’m here to help plan your amazing Princess cruise!

Hi! My name is Kenneth Reece, a native from Stockbridge, Georgia. I am a travel agent for Modern Travel Professionals. I opened Enchanted Gardens Florist & Gifts in 1986--when I was just 19. My love affair with Disney started in 1998 when I added Walt Disney collectibles to my merchandise displays. When I started to learn about the rich history of The Walt Disney Company, (which is required to successfully sell Walt Disney Animation Art) is when my store came alive. I've enjoyed hosting Disney Artists, Sculptors & Imagineers for in-store signing events, and was thrilled to tour the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank a few times as a guest of the company. One of my fondest Disney memories is that of holding one of Walt Disney's personal Academy Awards while visiting the Walt Disney Archives in Burbank, CA. As my love of Disney grew, I began planning trips to Disney for my clients at my store, which grew into a new career! After a few years of both running my retail store and planning travel, I closed my brick & mortar store, moved to Vero Beach, Fl where I've been planning travel full-time now for over five years. Vero Beach has small-town charm with world-class luxury. It's an incredible place to live. I help take care of my parents here, and travel extensively with them. Together, we visit Disneyland and The Walt Disney World Resort often. I've planned tours in England, Scotland, Paris, Greece, Italy, Denmark, Ireland, & France including Disneyland Paris. Living in Vero Beach, where retirees seem to outnumber all other age groups, I've become an expert on helping people travel who are "young at heart". Living a short road trip away from the Orlando area, I visit the theme parks at Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando & Sea World often. Many times I'm there once a week! I've stayed at every Disney Resort in North America, toured every hotel at the Universal Resort, and have taken over 25 cruises, being a Platinum Castaway Cay member with Disney Cruise Line. I've cruised to the Caribbean, The Bahamas, Alaska, the Panama Canal, Trans-Atlantic (East & Westbound), Mediterranean & Northern Europe. Also, if you need restaurant recommendations, I've personally ate at most of the restaurants at the Walt Disney World Resort & at the Disneyland Resort in Southern California. Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge is my favorite Walt Disney World Resort, and Disney's Grand Californian Resort & Spa is my favorite resort at Disneyland. I've attended various events at Walt Disney World such as: Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, Star Wars Weekends, Disneyana Conventions, EPCOT's Food & Wine Festival, The Flower & Garden Festival and the new Festival of Arts. Contact me for personalized, concierge-level service. I'll help you as much (or as little) as you like, whatever your needs. I want to provide you with a worry free, incredible vacation, with memories that will last a life time.
