We have sailed on multiple Princess cruises and enjoy the R & R component of cruising. We enjoy being poolside not doing too many onboard activities and sometimes will do an excursion. For background, we usually just eat in buffet, maybe one night or two in the MDR. We are super casual and don’t dress up (we are acceptable casual) for the formal nights, although, we enjoy seeing everyone dressed to the “nines”. We almost feel guilty walking around the ship not as formal and definitely don’t go to the MDR those nights. All that said, what things on the ship are we missing out on? Sometimes the Patters don’t give insight like on these boards. Thanks and hope this topic is not too vague.

I use them to pay for the cruise. You get e-gift cards sent to you that you enter the info on the Princess payment page. You have to enter one at a time to pay, but worth it. As an example, if you buy $5,000 worth (10 x $500 gift cards) on AARP you save $500!

I was signed up for AARP rewards, which is free and I did see an uptick in emails. No texts, but they are trying to get me to sign up for AARP membership. Not overwhelming, usually just hit delete! The rewards program is great though.

Thanks for all of the responses! I did call AARP, and they cannot do orders over the phone. They did say it should be back up this week, but not holding my breath!

Does anyone know where you an purchase discounted Princess Gift Cards? I have used AARP rewards (which is free to join btw) which offers 10% off and is great when you have to purchase in the thousands of dollars. They only allow purchase of five a month, and there cart purchase has been down for awhile with no guarantee when it will be back up. I need to purchase 5 this month and next for a cruise payment due in October. And if you wondering why I didn’t purchase earlier, I had to buy in June, July and August for my November cruise! 😀 Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks!
