They wouldn't let you upgrade to premier?? 😱 did you board early? was the cruise full? Now I'm scared to wait for my cruise in november lol

I played every night on a 5 day cruise in april but spent less than $1000 out of pocket (won a bit then would lose it 😆) I got a balcony stateroom, $500 fp, and princess plus. I wonder as a first time princess cruiser if they would give me a nicer offer to come back again? My offers in the mail since then have been around $400-$600 fp balcony with no princess plus.

Such a good tip! I didn't know that. Thank you! This would have saved me a lot of trouble from knocking on the door and waiting outside on my last cruise.

I had the same crushed potatoes on royal and was very disappointed as well. I thought my porterhouse was delicious though. It seemed well over the 22 oz advertised and felt bad I didn't finish it all. The salts they give really enhanced the flavors too. We thought the mdr food wasn't very good so eating at the crown grill by the end of the cruise was a vast improvement.

No they didn't. They picked up at port. I guess it's nice they give you back the value you can't receive since you're onboard already? I wonder if anyone else has experienced this as well?

Just did this for my parents onboard two weeks ago on the app in the part where it says folio, packages, and prizes or something along those lines. For a 5 day cruise, princess plus was $300 each and they had $200 obc each. I was a little worried all of their obc would apply because the app makes you purchase for both people from one person's account. You'll see the credits applied in your journey account. For some reason, they got a $10 discount for the bundle! Don't know how that happened but it was a nice surprise (They paid $180 total after obc for both) I was able to see it was active because now the part where it says packages showed how many of each part of the package they had redeemed aka 0/15 drinks redeemed, 0/2 premium desserts, etc. I don't know if it would make a difference if you sign up with the crew. They would be probably just tell you how to do it in the app unless you're at guest services. I don't think they get any incentives from your buying it.

I'm similar to you that I have $200 in obc. I'm planning on upgrading to princess plus on board and using my obc towards that. Just another option for you.

Trying to book a casino certificate cruise to alaska on the bliss and am currently at an oceanview room. CAS told me balcony upgrade would be $240. Is that a good deal or should I just try my luck bidding later? I'm not really sure how much people bid for a balcony in comparison! Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the responses! Will book two separate rooms then

I tried to talk to a casino princess rep but he seemed kind of clueless with my questions so I wanted to ask the good people here if they have any advice! Both my mother and I received cruise certificates for an inside cabin and live in the same household. Does princess offer something similar to NCL where you can combine two certs to upgrade your room? If they don't, can we each book a separate cabin for the same sailing? Do you have to pay a supplemental fee for single occupancy? Any other tips on using the certificate would be appreciated thank you!

This is a great tip! Sounds like I don't have to actively be playing all the time to get a drink as long as the casino is open?

Oh this visual is super helpful thank you!

thats a bummer! but thanks for the reply!

Hi all! First time poster so I hope I'm doing this right. I recently got a comped cruise from my local casino for NCL and wanted to know what type of free drinks they serve in the casino? Just wine and beer? Is the service fast? I'm debating to see if I'll be satisfied with just getting drinks in the casino or splurge and get the drink package. I'd say I could drink 3-5 drinks/day on vacation but I do like having cocktails more than wine or beer. Also was looking to book an Alaskan cruise on bliss or encore if that makes a difference on your rec. Thanks!
