I wonder why if some can see it and others can't if it's a casino offer.

I was able to book one on 10/12, to good to be true!

I'm still seeing one suit available on 9/21 for $327.00, total for 2 = $647 +$420 port charges for a total of $1084 plus $500 OBC. There almost paying you to go!

I see it...Unbelievable

I also wasn't able to access certain parts of their web site for the better part of the day but I was able to get on in the last hour.

Going to Australia on Princess in January/February. Discovered that friends who are going on the same trip received a $350.00 per person rebate from their travel agent on their booking. We booked directly with Princess and received nothing. When we asked Princess why, they replied the travel agent is free to extend rebates or discounts but the cruise line will not extend any rebates. Why should anyone book directly with the cruise line if you end up paying more?

That's not always the case, I received an offer from Princess that no other travel agent could match.  You could transfer your booking to that travel agent and receive the added benefits though.

I just completed my purchase for $1000 in casino credits, my only issues were I had to call Princess to have it added in my cruise personalizer. There were no options online to add the gift card number and pin like the instructions say when you get the digital card. Overall pretty easy other than an extended hold due to high volume, but the Rep did email me my folio to confirm the gift card and $50 promotion had been added.

Thanks again for the heads up!

Just checked my emails, sure enough it was there, thanks. A day late, I just made final payment yesterday.

Thanks,

Brad

We loved the Coral, especially the Sanctuary, very private,wake views and a swimming pool that's exclusive to those in the Sanctuary. I wish all the ships Sanctuary's were in this location.

Brad

Can someone please provide a link, for some reason I can't seem to find it.

Thanks,

Brad

I just received this email concerning a dinning time change for our 2/25/19 Crown Princess cruise. I don't normally do shows but hopefully, this change helps those that do make it on time.

Thanks for the link on the backdoor offer, I initially didn't have it. I used it for some casino credits for a trip that I had previously booked. It doesn't fall into the parameters of the dates to be booked between but I believe others have had the same issue and received the credit. I'll wait and see what happens, hopefully, it will be accepted.

Thanks for the heads up and the backdoor link. I purchased $500 in casino credits on 11/26 for a cruise I booked 8/31 and the credit showed up on my statement today.

In the past I've pre-purchased casino credits which have been vouchers  in your cabin upon arrival, I then took them to the casino teller for cash. That's been several years ago maybe something has changed since the last time we cruised.

I believe if you rent the chairs in the Sanctuary for the full 10 days it's $30 a day, single days $40, half days $20.

I'm not sure about getting cash for obc but you could get casino credits that you could turn into cash.

Maybe I misunderstood, I believe the purchases did show up right away on my cruise personalizer but it took a couple days to show up on the credit card. I did have an issue with pre-paid gratuities not showing up on the cruise personalizer and I called Princess and they confirmed that I had paid for them and after a couple of days they were posted. You may want to call and confirm with Princess.

Anything I've purchased pre-cruise has been deducted within a couple of days.

There were a few dates but unfortunately I won't have enough vacation time built up to use it.

I feel your pain!

On the last day of my cruise a few weeks ago I got an note in my mailbox for a 10 day cruise at $299 plus $1000 in casino credits.  I guess when you gamble and win a lot on the ship they want you back to get their money back.

Did you take it, was it for a specific cruise or could you pick your own itinerary?

I keep telling myself that I'm not going to book another cruise and wait for one of these.  I did do one in June.  But, for some reason I keep booking.  Yep, gotta retire.  

I just received that offer yesterday, did you get one also. I wonder how many get these offers $39 a day is hard to believe. I wonder if they have these offers available on the 28 day Hawaii cruises?

I recently started receiving these casino offers and we're currently booked on one for a 10 day on the Crown Feb 25. I just received another offer on the Crown for a 10 day Caribean cruise with a balcony for $ 399,if I only had more time off! Hopefully, the offers keep coming after I retire in 7 months.

We've been on both ships and was on the Coral for a partial canal transit in 2014. We're going to do this same trip in 2018 because we enjoyed the ship so much. We were on the Caribbean for a 5 day cruise and was not impressed with the ship or the service, I believe it may have been spruced up in a dry dock since then so it's condition may be better. Even so we would choose the Coral every time.

Brad

Are there any balconies on the Coral that are larger like those on the Caribe deck of the Crown class ships?

Thanks for your help,

Brad
