lilacbirman Posted March 17, 2010 #1 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Does anyone know why some TA’s get the Princess Ship-wide Savings coupons and others do not? The agency that I use offers Princess cruise packages but the TA said they don’t have these coupons. Could it be that they just give coupons to preferred/loyal customers? I'm a bit disappointed.

The 'good' coupons books were linked to some sort of 'cruise night' promotion. They are not just given to loyal passengers but anyone that booked within a certain time frame with a TA that has the promotion running. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only coupon that was interesting that we used was the 2 for 1 coffee card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on the TA and their promotion. Sometimes I get one, sometimes I don't. IMHO, they're useless, even the "good" coupon books. I'd much rather get a shipboard credit or bottle of wine.

The Princess Passport to Value book of coupons is usually waiting in your room when you first arrive onboard... and has very few coupons of value. The Princess Shipwide Savings Coupons Booklet is usually a perk supplied to lucky cruisers by their travel agent. It does have coupons of some value... you can often find it being sold on EBay for approximately $25. I did read that your travel agent only has these coupon books in stock if they attended a special Princess promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALMOM Posted March 18, 2010 #7 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I received them from my TA every cruise but their nothing special except for the 2 for 1 coffee cards. Don't be disappointed, you'll be more disappointed if you waste you time trying to get one and your successful :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colo Cruiser Posted March 18, 2010 #10 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Coffee one is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxgal Posted March 25, 2010 #11 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Coupon books really only have value if you would buy the service or product anyway. My DH and I do not drink coffee, so even that one is worthless to us. We have given them away to our CC friends at the meet and greets :), but really not being spa or casino goers they really do not give any value to us.

I suppose I am getting the passport to value, because my ta said it'd be there when I got to my room. Does that one not include the coffee one?

Does that one not include the coffee one? That's the only one I was interested in anyway No. The PTV is a generally useless set of coupons. (Example: $50 off on an art auction purchases of at least $500 (or maybe it was $1000)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick03Ultra Posted March 25, 2010 #14 Share Posted March 25, 2010 They have the coupon book with the coffee coupon on ebay.

janina Posted March 25, 2010 #15 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I like the coffee. TA's schedule a cruise week with Princess. All bookings made and deposited on during that period receive the coupon book. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
