If you are traveling with three people in the same stateroom on a Princess Cruises sailing, you may wonder whether the third guest can receive the Princess Plus package when guests one and two already have it. The answer is yes, but the process is different from simply adding the package through the standard booking options.
Princess Plus is generally applied automatically to the first two guests when selected as part of the booking. A third guest can choose to purchase Princess Plus separately, but Princess requires the package to be added to that guest's reservation through its Contact Center or a Travel Advisor.
This guide explains how to add Princess Plus to your third guest, what you can do through the Princess app, what benefits the third guest receives, and what happens if the third guest does not purchase the package.
Yes. Princess Cruises allows third and fourth guests to purchase Princess Plus even when the first two guests in the stateroom already have a package.
However, there is an important distinction:
Guests 1 and 2 are generally covered when the Princess Plus fare or package is selected for the reservation.
Guests 3 and 4 are not automatically required to purchase the same package.
If a third guest wants Princess Plus, it must be specifically added to the booking.
The third guest must purchase the same package type as the other optional package guest in the stateroom.
Princess states that guests 3 and 4 can have the package added by contacting Princess or their Travel Advisor.
So, if your third guest wants Princess Plus, you should not assume that selecting the package for the first two guests automatically covers everyone in the cabin.
The most reliable way is to contact Princess Cruises or the Travel Advisor who made the reservation.
Before contacting Princess, have your reservation information ready. You will normally need details such as:
Cruise reservation or booking number
Sailing date
Ship name
Stateroom number, if available
Full name of the third guest
Contact information associated with the booking
Check your booking first to confirm that Princess Plus is already attached to guests one and two.
Tell the representative that you want to add Princess Plus to the third guest in your stateroom.
Be specific that you are not trying to upgrade the entire reservation. You want the package applied specifically to guest three.
If a Travel Advisor originally made the booking, contacting that advisor may be the easiest option because they can often manage the reservation directly.
Ask the representative to confirm that Princess Plus has been added to the third guest's individual booking record.
Before ending the conversation, verify:
The third guest's name
Package type
Applicable package price
Sailing dates covered
Benefits included
Whether any additional payment is required
This helps prevent confusion later when you check in or use package benefits onboard.
After the package has been added, review your reservation again. Look for the updated package information associated with the third guest.
If the package does not appear immediately, allow time for the reservation system to update and contact Princess again if necessary.
The Princess app is useful for managing many aspects of your cruise, but adding Princess Plus specifically to a third guest is not necessarily the same as adding a travel companion.
Princess indicates that package purchases for guests 3 and 4 require contact with Princess or a Travel Advisor. Therefore, if the app does not provide an option to purchase Princess Plus specifically for guest three, do not assume that something is wrong with your reservation.
The app can still be useful for viewing your cruise information, completing OceanReady tasks, managing travel-party information, and accessing other onboard features.
If your question is actually how to add travel companions on Princess App, that is a different process from adding Princess Plus.
The Princess app includes features that allow guests to identify people in their travel party and interact with them through applicable app functions.
Depending on the current app version and your booking status, you may see options related to your travel party, shipmates, reservations, or OceanCompass.
A general process is:
Sign in using the account associated with your Princess cruise.
Open the sailing connected to your reservation.
Depending on the app interface and your cruise status, look for options associated with your travel party or shipmates.
Follow the prompts to connect with another guest. The other person may need to have their own Princess account or complete the required information before the connection works.
Once connected, applicable features may allow you to coordinate with your travel companions, including communication and location-related features available through the app.
Important: Adding someone as a travel companion or shipmate in the app does not automatically give that person Princess Plus. Travel-party connections and cruise-package purchases are separate matters.
No. Princess does not require third and fourth guests to purchase the same package as guests one and two.
This can be useful when one person in a stateroom does not expect to use enough of the package benefits to justify the additional cost.
For example, imagine three people sharing one cabin:
Guest 1: Princess Plus
Guest 2: Princess Plus
Guest 3: Standard fare
Guest 3 can remain without Princess Plus.
If guest 3 decides that the package is worthwhile, they can request that Princess Plus be added to their booking.
If the third guest chooses to purchase a package, Princess requires the applicable package to be the same type offered for the optional package purchase.
For example, if guests 3 and 4 are purchasing a package, they should not assume they can mix Princess Plus for one person with Princess Premier for the other. Princess states that optional package purchases for guests 3 and 4 must be the same package type.
Always confirm the current package rules and pricing with Princess before paying because package terms can change.
The exact inclusions depend on the package version and sailing date. For current Princess Plus offerings, benefits can include items such as:
Beverage package benefits
Wi-Fi for one device per guest
Crew Appreciation
Eligible casual dining benefits
Other package-specific perks
Princess periodically changes its package structure and inclusions, so the benefits attached to your reservation are more important than an older package description you may find online.
If you are sailing under a different package version, check the package details associated with your booking before assuming that every current benefit applies.
Generally, you should not assume that a third guest receives every individual benefit simply because another guest in the stateroom has Princess Plus.
Individual benefits are tied to the guest who purchased the package.
For example, beverage and dining benefits should not be treated as automatically transferable between guests. If the third guest wants their own package benefits, adding Princess Plus to that guest's booking is the safest approach.
Some benefits can have separate sharing rules, so check the specific terms for your package rather than relying on the assumption that everything is shared.
Nothing is wrong with keeping the third guest on the standard fare if they do not want the package.
This can make sense if the guest:
Does not drink alcohol
Does not need Wi-Fi
Does not expect to use included dining benefits
Prefers to pay for individual purchases
Wants to keep the cruise cost lower
The first two guests can retain their package while the third guest remains without Princess Plus, subject to the booking's applicable terms.
Yes. Princess allows guests who have already booked a cruise to purchase a package through Manage Booking when applicable.
However, the situation is different for a third guest because Princess specifically directs guests 3 and 4 who want to opt into Princess Plus or Princess Premier to contact Princess or their Travel Advisor so the package can be applied to the booking.
Therefore, if you can see a package option for the reservation but cannot select it specifically for guest three, contacting Princess is the appropriate next step.
Princess allows guests to purchase or upgrade to Princess Plus onboard through the second day of the voyage.
However, purchasing before sailing can provide better value than waiting until you are onboard, depending on the applicable package pricing and current terms.
If you already know that your third guest wants Princess Plus, it is generally better to arrange the package before departure rather than waiting until the cruise begins.
There are several possible reasons.
Princess Plus is structured differently for guests 1 and 2 compared with optional purchases for guests 3 and 4.
If a travel professional created the booking, some changes may need to be handled by that advisor.
Package availability and terms can vary by sailing and booking.
Adding a travel companion in the Princess app is not the same as purchasing a cruise package.
If you have tried Manage Booking and cannot add Princess Plus specifically to guest three, contact Princess or your Travel Advisor rather than repeatedly trying to change the booking in the app.
When you contact Princess, ask these questions:
Can Princess Plus be added specifically to guest three?
What is the current price for that guest?
Will the package cover the entire voyage?
Which package version applies to my sailing?
What benefits will guest three receive?
Does guest four need to purchase the same package if they also want one?
When will the package appear in the reservation?
Will any existing booking conditions change after adding it?
Getting these details confirmed before payment can prevent unexpected charges or misunderstandings.
Can I add Princess Plus only to my third guest?
Yes. Third and fourth guests can opt into Princess Plus even though they are not automatically required to have the same package as guests one and two. Princess directs guests to contact its Contact Center or their Travel Advisor to have the package applied.
Does guest three automatically get Princess Plus?
No. If the third guest is not included in the package, they do not automatically receive the individual Princess Plus benefits simply because guests one and two have the package.
Can I add Princess Plus to guest three through Manage Booking?
Manage Booking can be used for package purchases and upgrades in applicable situations. However, Princess specifically states that third and fourth guests who want to opt into Princess Plus should contact Princess or their Travel Advisor to have it applied to the booking.
Is adding a travel companion the same as adding Princess Plus?
No. Adding a travel companion or shipmate through the Princess app is related to travel-party and app functionality. It does not purchase or activate Princess Plus for that person.
Can the third guest use the first guest's beverage package?
Do not assume that beverage benefits can be transferred to another guest. Package benefits that are assigned to an individual guest generally apply to that package holder, and Princess Plus terms contain specific restrictions.
Can guests three and four both buy Princess Plus?
Yes, if they choose to opt in, but Princess states that the package selected for guests three and four must be the same package type.
Can I wait until the cruise starts?
Princess allows package purchases or upgrades onboard through the second day of the voyage. However, pricing may be higher onboard than when purchased in advance.
What should I do if Princess Plus is missing from guest three's booking?
Contact Princess Cruises or your Travel Advisor and ask them to verify whether the package has been applied to the third guest's reservation. Have your booking number and guest details available.
