S.S.Oceanlover Posted April 26, 2005 #1 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I've heard there is a new promo for Princess where if you book a balcony you receive a free upgrade to a mini suite? Anybody receive this promo? I believe the code is PL3. Thanks in advance Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruisey Posted April 26, 2005 #2 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Its in Canadaian dollars but offer is for USA and Canadian customers. There are two for ones and free upgrades. THis is to celebrate Princesses 40th Anniversary. Offers are not transferable and available for Captain circle members only. 'Fares are for the first two persons in cabin....they do not apply to singles,shares and upper berth passengers........in other words as it always has been in the past only married couples are entitled to these discounts.Also only on certain cruises....others at a higher price . Actually I think that is a little unfair that two persons sharing a cabin are charged more than a married couple.What would be the reason for this....can anyone give me the reason for this? :confused: I like my own cabin so these offers as a single, do not apply to me :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolfinmusic Posted April 26, 2005 #3 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Hey Bill! Are you booking another Princess cruise?? The new one out of NY?? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calikak Posted April 26, 2005 #4 Share Posted April 26, 2005 kruisy, we just booked a cabin for my SIL and a friend of mine who are neither married nor dating, and got the regular 2-person rate. They didn't ask about marital status at all, the closest they came was asking if they wanted the beds pushed together. Did that promo come in the mail? I have not seen it, but our mail service from Princess is spotty at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.Oceanlover Posted April 26, 2005 Author #5 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Hey Bill! Are you booking another Princess cruise?? The new one out of NY?? ;) Hi Terri, Nope. I wish. Someone asked me if I saw this promotion. I didn't so I'm asking around. I got prices for the Crown Princess and they are way out of my league. $2000pp for a balcony and about $1000 for my son. I can do better flying to FL and sailing from there. Of course it would only be 7 days too. :( With not that many options for the Caribbean next summer we might look at Alaska, or Bermuda. Bermuda is also very limited next summer as far as ships going there. Who knows. Maybe a land vacation at that place Trudy is going to. I gotta get past this cruise first before I get serious about next year. :) Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess wouldn't accept the promo code saying it might not be in the computers yet and wanted it faxed to them. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherylandtk Posted April 26, 2005 #11 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Kruisey, I think the singles shares is when Princess finds you a person to share the cabin with, so you both go at the "normal" rate instead of paying the single supplement. If you find a friend/partner/SO/Spouse yourself, you both get the good deal. I think. But if I read you correctly, you prefer your own cabin, so this still does not help your situation. You have to pay the supplement, and don't get the lower rate to base it on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleitman Posted April 26, 2005 #12 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Does anyone have a copy of this promotion that they can fax to me? Princess doesn't believe it exists, and I left mine in IL yesterday (I am in NY for the rest of the week). Thanks a ton - Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote'Fares are per person ,non air, based on double occupancy and apply to the first two passengers in a stateroom.Fares do not apply to singles,shares and upper berth passengers'' unquote... :confused: .oh and these fares are only for those that receive these listings. This is the first time I have received anything in the mail from Princess in ages. Think the reason is that I cancelled this year...due to the fact of my mum minding trip to UK....but are booked for 2006. Maybe these offers just go to those that have not booked this year so far? One of the reasons I like Princess is that each time staff and passengers...to me anyway have been wonderful :) Oh I love you all to bits on cruise crits....I am learning so much from you guys and gals. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
