39august Posted October 20, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 20, 2014 We have sailed on 6 Princess cruises, but haven't been on Princess since 2003. Would some of you kind people tell me what level in the Captains Circle we are and what, if any, are the perks? Are there any perks for a mini-suite? And last, does the military benefit apply for those who served four years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul929207 Posted October 20, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 20, 2014 With six prior Princess cruises you are Platinum unless you have a total of 150 days on Princess. I am figuring you have fewer days, so you are Platinum. Perks: Preferred boarding - gets you on the ship quicker during busy times. Internet credit - depends on length of the cruise. Can be used on Princess equipment in the Internet Cafe or your own device. Platinum/Elite/Suite cocktail party. Each evening. Free hors deover & a drink special. Platinum/Elite/Suite departure lounge on debarkation day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted October 20, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Thanks. But I don't see anything about a cocktail party on the website chrysalis posted for perks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted October 20, 2014 #6 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Thanks. But I don't see anything about a cocktail party on the website chrysalis posted for perks. There is the 30/45 min. Captain's Circle Party, where you go and get some pre-mixed drinks and hear a quick talk about Princess. You will get an Invitation. We seldom go. There is also the Platinum/Elite/Full Suite happy hour, 5-7 each night where the have nice things to eat and a drink of the day for $5. You will get a card in your stateroom about this.

We usually just go to the cocktail party to hear who the top three cruisers are but skip the Platinum/Elite lounge since the hours conflict with early dining.

RickEk Posted October 20, 2014 #8 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Thanks. But I don't see anything about a cocktail party on the website chrysalis posted for perks. True, but every cruise I've been on since achieving Platinum (12 cruises ago) has had one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted October 20, 2014 #9 Share Posted October 20, 2014 We usually just go to the cocktail party to hear who the top three cruisers are but skip the Platinum/Elite lounge since the hours conflict with early dining. I do the opposite. Haven't been to the Captain's Circle party in years and usually go to the Platinum/Elite lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabySarge Posted October 20, 2014 #10 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Provided you received an Honorable discharge and have the DD 214 to document it then you should be entitled to the military credit whether you served four years or twenty.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro Flyer Posted October 21, 2014 #12 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Provided you received an Honorable discharge and have the DD 214 to document it then you should be entitled to the military credit whether you served four years or twenty.:) The minimum service requirements are "serving a minimum of 2 years or 6 months in an active war zone".

Lovetocruiseprincess Posted October 21, 2014 #13 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I do the opposite. Haven't been to the Captain's Circle party in years and usually go to the Platinum/Elite lounge. The Platinum/Elite lounge is nice & we have done it a few times but since we usually eat early it excludes it as an option. :( I wish they would extend the hours just a little in the evening to give the early diners a chance to enjoy it.

amachad Posted October 23, 2014 #14 Share Posted October 23, 2014 If you are traveling with Non elite passengers, can they come with you to the elite lounge ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted October 23, 2014 #15 Share Posted October 23, 2014 The lounge is for Platinum/Elite/ Suite passengers. Do you friends qualify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruiseprincess Posted October 23, 2014 #16 Share Posted October 23, 2014 If you are traveling with Non elite passengers, can they come with you to the elite lounge ? I imagine if the place isn't that crowded they might let you bring in some guests. No guarantee but you can try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shredie Posted October 23, 2014 #17 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I imagine if the place isn't that crowded they might let you bring in some guests. No guarantee but you can try. On my last cruise, they were checking cards at the door. I never had seen that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruiseprincess Posted October 25, 2014 #18 Share Posted October 25, 2014 On my last cruise, they were checking cards at the door. I never had seen that before. It's getting more crowded every day in the lounge, especially with all these short cruises in Florida. There will be the time that the lounge will become Elite only in the very near future.

Phyljim Posted October 25, 2014 #19 Share Posted October 25, 2014 It's getting more crowded every day in the lounge, especially with all these short cruises in Florida. There will be the time that the lounge will become Elite only in the very near future. When it first started years ago, it was Elite only. +Suites. Not so many Elites went, so was under utilized. Princess then added Platinum to the mix. Don't think Princess will take away the benefit from the Platinum's. On many ships where there is a huge number of Platinum and Elite they move it down to the Vista/Fusion Lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
