Is The Princess Coupon Book Valuable/Worthwhile?

[florida lover]

Is the current coupon book valuable or worthwhile?

 

 

Thank you!

[TERESAh]

I don;t think so---I used one for a free bingo card which couldn't be used on the last day. Otherwise I didn't use any of them

[cruzsnooze]

no, not at all

[loliola]

Excellent for balancing a wobbly table or if you cant find a coaster...

[rdsqrl]

It is if you need an emergency coaster or a makeshift napkin on which to place those cookies you nabbed while walking by the IC. . .

That's the best use we've found so far..

Well if you are on the Royal and can't reach the toilet paper roll. Hmmmmmm

[TracieABD]

no.:rolleyes:

Sorry......but no!

[dorisis]

I don't find it useful.

[caber]

Never used it.

[DougH]

Total waste of paper, I've never used a single coupon. It immediately gets dumped in the trash for recycling

[Happy2cruise]

Never used it, not worth it.

We purchased a bottle of liquor (Frangelico) that was not "on special" and got 10% off and used another coupon for a pair of gold earrings (paid about $90) "not on sale". The coupons are highly restrictive, but raced back to our cabin to get them, since our purchases qualified. I know travel agents will tout them as though they are something special - ours told us that not all sailings qualify for them - so what! We don't usually make purchases on the ship, however, we had non-refundable shipboard credits that still remained in our folio on the last day, so we spent it on stuff that perhaps we wouldn't have bought otherwise.

 

Good luck.

The Coupon Book ordered for you by your TA when you book during one of their Princess Cruise Sales , is in addition to the worthless coupon book that everyone gets from Princess.

However , although almost worthless also now that the old "Coffee Card" BOGO coupon is no longer in it.

 

I often wonder if Princess understands just how worthless the contents of these books are perceived by Princess repeaters? :p

We bought some duty free spirits on board and were advised by the attendant to present the relevant coupon page to get the discount (which had already been applied :rolleyes:). I raced back to the cabin to get the correct voucher, gave it to the gentleman and he added it to his pile. On other occasions, the attendant will give you one from his pile to save you a trip to the cabin.

 

Seems like a waste of money producing so many booklets for each cruise.

Taking my first cruise with others that are repeaters - whats in the coupon book?

[victory2020]

I have never gotten any sort of couon book = someone on my last cruise mentioned therre is a 2 for 1 coupon for the slot tournament. Is that true?

[OCruisers]

No ... a total waste of paper. :rolleyes:

Are you saying there are two different kinds of coupon books, if so how are they different?

 

Thank you!

[mr green]

In the long run it MAY? save paper. Princess put it out several years ago, and since then, there have been less of those stupid glossy flyers in our mail slot each morning at our cabin.

Is it any use? Hardly, it MAY tell us of a lower price come place, but we would probably have found it for ourselves anyway.

It DOES however make a great coaster, maybe with this in mind there should be TWO per cabin.:rolleyes:

Sometimes there is a BOGO for the slot tourney.

I don't recall the difference between two books but nothing too impressive in my experience.

 

Perhaps someone who actually did'nt toss their 2 books away can give details?

I used it on the Crown recently and won the $150 in the draw so I think they are good

[satxdiver]

In my opinion, no. We did use one coupon that took $5 off a wine tasting of expensive wines. So instead of $25 each, it was $20 each. This is not to be confused with the cheaper wine tasting using cheaper wines of course.

 

The so called discounts on pictures, shopping ($100 minimum purchase) and salon are worthless to us.
