Princess Cruises Internet access

Well, it was $55 per 100 MINUTES of internet access via satellite from the ship.  So we didn't bother.  So no reports of the travels, which were fantastic (obviously apart from the internet access price).

Princess Cruises are a slick operation providing excellent value for money in their cruises.  They do aim to upsell and provide luxury services whilst on the ship, but it's completely up to you and you can spend as much or as little as you like in the process.  Our shipboard account was $261 - but we had $125 each complimentary credit, so we were really spending to use up this amount.

One clue to any Princess customers who get complimentary credit on each account - it's NOT consolidated.  So if you have, like we did, $125 each, make sure you spend $125 on each of your shipboard accounts.  IE evenly spread your purchases over both your accounts.  If you (like we initially did) spend mainly on ONE account, we had to get entries voided and re-posted evenly over both the accounts.  Would have been easier if we had known this at the start rather than the second last day when we checked the shipboard folios.

We'd go on Princess Cruises again WITHOUT HESITATION.
