  1. my last email to them I never got a response
  2. Our offers are not as good either, and this is after doing 7 cruises in the past 18 months. We have a cruise in 3 weeks and if our come back and play is not a free cabin, plus package, and free play money we will not book either. We have a free cabin offer from Holland America, and we are planning to book something for next year, and then we will see what they offer. Crusing may be on hold for awhile with us.
  3. thank you for your detailed info. we are planning to book a cruise with Holland with a casino land based certificate. Free inside, nothing else, but it gets on board. Will see what offers we get after. Would love to use for their Alaska cruises, like some I have seen.
  4. Make sure when you cash out of your machine, do not get up and leave until you get the message on the screen that your money has been posted to your account. You need to keep track of your money in your account. If you start off with a $100, play $20, cash out, make sure that you have $80 in your account when you leave that machine. We have had several times where it did not go back to the account and was still sitting on that machine.
  5. haven't been able to get any responses regarding Holland America, so hopefully this topic will generate some responses Princess: on the final day before docking, casino players receive a "come back and play" offer slipped under the door based on the casino play for that cruise. Does Holland America do this and can you provide your offers ? Princess has VIP cruises which comes with day "presents" left in the cabin. - chocolates, strawberries, etc. Does Holland America ? Princess offers have gotten worst in the past year. Last year we were offered free balcony, plus packages (drinks, gratuities, wifi) and casino play What kind of offers do you receive from Holland America ? thanks for your replies
  6. My attempt is a B2B. Leave out of Los Angeles or San Diego and take a cruise to Vancouver/Seattle. then take a second Alaska cruise - the one we want is on Holland America out of Seattle. Unfortunately, we can not go into Seattle for the Pacific Coast cruise, they are go to Vancouver and all the Alaska cruises do not have the stops that we want unless we go out of Seattle.
  7. can you give me cost for renting the car for one day- dropping off in Seattle price for the train going to Sea Tac airport i would have to consider, driving to Seattle and getting hotel downtown and then transportation to cruise ship next day train to Sea Tac airport, hotel at airport, transportation to cruise ship next morning. hassle, hassle, hassle, need a cruise to relax after all of that.
  8. thank you all for your replies. since we have a one day delay, I think the train would work, just need to find hotel in seattle. Will do more research.
  9. We don't want to fly round trip, so we are looking going from San Diego to Vancouver May 2023. ships arrives in Vancouver May 3 and then the same ship leaves out of Seattle May 4th. There is no ride along going from Vancouver to Seattle for the one day. - (maritime laws?) If you have done this trip - how did you get from Vancouver port to Seattle. Did you stay over in Vancouver and use Holland transfer to Seattle, or did you get to Seattle and then spend the night there. We would then fly home from Seattle. Having a hard time finding information on the transportation options and costs.
  10. We were on a Celebrity cruise trans Atlantic. The last stop was Le Havre before getting into London. We have no plans do go to Europe again, but if we did I would not go if I couldn't include Le Havre and do a tour of Normandy again. We used the ships excursion and it was the highlight of the trip. No matter which company you use - it is a must.
  11. I have a suggestion for future. Use your iphone to take pictures of the screen to save the info to show Princess that the flight was still available. I take pictures on my computer screen all the time and save them until issue is resolved. This issue is why we hate to fly to another location to catch or leave on a cruise.
  12. We gamble at a land Indian casino and will be getting a Holland cruise certificate. We normally cruise on Princess. We started 15 cruises ago with a free cruise from the Indian Casino. Holland has a 28 day Alaska cruise that we are really interested in, I realize that we won't be able to use this certificate for this particular cruise, but if we continue to cruise with Holland and get offers in the future, would the future offers work for longer cruises. Princess has a limit of 20 days Any personal experience in booking long cruises on Holland would be appreciate.
  13. our free offers from Princess ; you have to pay the port tax and unless they offer you the plus package, you have to pay gratuities and drinks
  14. your points is for that cruise only and your offer come back and play offer at the end of the cruise is based on that cruise. For the amount of points you should be getting good email and U.S mailers, we ususally got a free balcony, plus and free play, but now that gets yu free inside, no plus and free play,
  15. we woud upgrade at the guest services on arriving on the ship before they started the bidding program. We had a free balcony and would paid $280 the first time to upgrade to mini suite, second time $300. Now the bidding, we have paid $300 to go from balcony to mini suite. Then last time paid $80 to go from balcony to deluxe balcony. we currently have a bid for $300 to go to a mini suite. Put in the bid on day 85 and we leave in 37 days and haven't heard anything
  16. only during the cruise and it starts over on each cruise. last year my husband earned over 5,000 on the first cruise and we got offers for free balcony, plus package and free play. now the offers are free interior, no plus, lower free play offers are not like they were.
  17. that is a great offer. We use to get free balcony, now inside, and no longer get plus package. I would demand that they honor their offer that was emailed and do not wait for them to call you.
  18. I tried to find my offers to get the exact wording, but could not find it, but the bottom line, the person who goes and the offer is not for them, they will be charged more money. my recommendation is that you call Princess and ask what the cost will be if the other person is not coming to be cruising.
  19. I don't understand. We did back to back, NY to Quebec and returned Quebec to NY why is Fll to Quebec and Quebec to Boston different. Both cruises have stops in Canada ?
  20. You should be getting the emails, but they may wait until you have used their offer before sending more. You knows. We book only casino cruise offers, but the offers are not as good as they were last year. Before we were getting free balcony, now just inside, before the plus package included, now no plus, and the free play money is less. We were on 7 cruises last year. This year we have taken 2 cruises and have one to go.
  21. WE were on Discovery in April and had the plus package. The first day we tried one of the fancy desserts and did not like it, so the next time we just asked for scoops of gelato. We were not charged, so I think it is just a substitute for the fancy dessets. basically as for the fancy dessett, minus all the extra stuff and you get a bowl of gelato. You can also order a piece of cake - chocolate velvet was good
  22. We have been on their list for a couple of years, so we get offers all the time. Just got a new one yesterday by email. If you just cruised in April, I am surprised that you have not received an email or flyer in the mail. Did you get your offer on the last day of the cruise based on your activity for that cruise ? try to check for offers on your account with Princess login to your account click on "my account" on the line that shows how many cruises, how many days click on "onboard credit" this will show any offers
  23. We had booked an offer. In the beginning everything showed. I had a hard copy. Later my free play disappeared, and I figured it was because you can only get free play once and they mixed up the offers from a previous cruise. I still had my print out and I was going to use it to get the free play once on board. When we went to the casino, they showed I had the free play money coming to me and I didn't have to fight anyone. Keep your print out or take picture of your computer screen with your phone so you have proof
