The news is that the costs are escalating even though the new Starlink connection is less expensive to the cruise line. Another way to push the packages. I have always been exclusively a Princess cruiser but that is changing. Two different lines last year (not Princess) and one Princess and one other line this year. I would prefer the Plus over Premier as I don't use much of what Premier offers. The tipping point? You cannot get sparkling wine on Plus. They only offer Prosecco and Moscato and they are both much too sweet for my taste. So they got me....
