This is a slick deal (I'm elite on princess), to make it even slicker reach out to any travel agent that does princess cruises (most do) and they can sometimes slide you a tiny bit more on board credit as a courtesy for booking through them. Also, travel agents get paid by cruise lines on the back end, so you don't pay them anything. It's nice because if things go wrong or if you need to make changes they have a direct line, otherwise you'll be on the 1-800 call center for hours
Disclaimer though Princess can be extremely sleepy, which most folks seek out. If you want a mega ship experience you want Royal Caribbean icon class. For Princess I recommend starting with the Royal class or Sphere class as your introduction to the line
Also, post-Covid Princess has pivoted from hoity tioity and now runs similar sales through the year. This one in particular seems like the best combination of all of the things they usually offer, usually it's missing one thing or another

It's worth it because the math checks out to like an extra $15 a day (it covers tip and WiFi), you can easily knock that out (get your moneys worth with soda or desserts or casual dining).

WiFi calling works they got starlink now so it's not as trash as it use to be, but of course you have to have their WiFi package (included in the drink package)

the only time the drink package isn't worth it is this specific configuration: 4 people in your travel party and at least 1 of them has platinum or elite status which gives them 50% off WiFi. That one person would buy a 4-device plan and split it with the other people. Kind of rare to travel with this setup though haha

I am suspicious of any business that has zero info on pricing on their web site until you provide your phone number and/or personal info. BTW, it links back to Princess, so this is nonsense.

Yeah, I'm seeing $270 each for the 3rd and 4th listed as "taxes and fees". Prices comparable to Disney cruise of similar length and similar travel locations.

"Offer is available on select voyages and guest will know if their selected voyage is available for free 3rd/4th guests if, when selecting to travel with 3rd or 4th guests, whether the fare summary page lists $0 or whether it lists an actual cruise fare amount for such guests."

Which ones? Asking because we would like to sail Disney but 7-day sailings are $9000 lmfao I understand they're still running the old 'all inclusive' model that all the other cruise lines have ditched but damn their $$ is insane. It does make sense if it's more of an 'experience' that your family will have once every 5-10 years though. Also the $270 taxes and fees are government related (port fees) and are associated with all cruise fares, it's not just Princess. If you're a casino player with any cruise line those are the fees you pay even if you have a 'free' cruise voucher
