Cruise Arizona Posted February 3, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) How does Princess do the Elite benefits if one guest is Elite and the other is new to Princess? Edited February 3, 2015 by Cruise Arizona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZbeachboy Posted February 3, 2015 #2 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I think if they are in the Cabin with you they get the same benefits. What in particular are you looking for. The can go in the ship with you and have those benefits you do together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The can go in the ship with you and have those benefits you do together. You are the Elite beneficiary. Your cabin mate isn't. You will receive: Priority Boarding (includes cabin mate) One Mini-bar (you may share if you are generous) Tender priority (includes cabin mate) Chocolate Covered Strawberries (you may share) Internet minutes (meant for you alone) Corsage or boutonniere (one) Free laundry (meant for you alone) Elite Disembarkation lounge (includes cabin mate) Cocktail hour (includes cabin mate) Elite line at Customer Service (includes cabin mate if you are doing the talking) 10% discount in boutiques (meant for you alone) Tea service in your cabin (includes cabin mate if you place the order) Am I missing anything? He/She is going to want to travel with you all the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted February 3, 2015 #4 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Correct, it is meant for the person who has Elite status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted February 3, 2015 #5 Share Posted February 3, 2015 If not shared, it would be the Elite members responsibility to protect the mini-bar from the other passenger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Arizona Posted February 3, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) can she throw her husband's laundry in with her stuff? It will obviously not be hers, XXL :) Edited February 3, 2015 by Cruise Arizona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the elite should share with cabin mate, if he doesn't drink, then just grab a random person and share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srpilo Posted February 3, 2015 #8 Share Posted February 3, 2015 We've always received just one Mini Bar set-up for the two of us anyway, so it's always sharing :) Srpilo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagsfan Posted February 3, 2015 #9 Share Posted February 3, 2015 When we went to the free wine tasting several years ago, DD was turned away. We could have paid for her but decided to drink on our balcony instead. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted February 4, 2015 #14 Share Posted February 4, 2015 "Integrity" is all I will say about what is shared and not. I traveled with a Blue Card friend. She enjoyed some of the shared privileges, but I explained to her that I had "worked" very hard to reach my elite status and honored those who set the path before me. She understood completely as she enjoyed the chocolate covered strawberries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did she share in your mini bar? Just curious. Edited February 4, 2015 by AZbeachboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KruzPrincess Posted February 4, 2015 #18 Share Posted February 4, 2015 The only time I've gotten a corsage was when I was in a full suite. Do others get a corsage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is what I asked about, I was truly interested and it was not a knock on what you had posted. I have been told (and read) that if you travel with an Elite, then you can share those benefits. I know that as a Platinum and we had a suite, they allowed my DD and SIL to participate in those things with us. So, we went to the happy hour and we entered the early boarding room. My daughter used some of my internet minutes on my computer. My only problem was my sil got into the mini bar more that I wanted him to. I ended up having to pull some of the drinks,lol.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted February 4, 2015 #21 Share Posted February 4, 2015 So what did you not allow her to do? Did she board through the Elite Room on first boarding. Did she share in your mini bar? Just curious. We shared the same cabin so, yes, she could board with me. I did not share my internet minutes nor my laundry perks with my friend on the 10 day cruise. I shared my mini-bar and chocolate covered strawberries. I gave her the champagne I won during the Captain's Circle Party door prize that she attended as my guest. She could not attend the wine tasting with me, although she could have paid for it. I had priority tendering so she came with me. We went to the Platinum/Elite lounge for cocktails on most nights. She waited for disembarkation in the Elite lounge because I was taking her home. We are about the same size and neither the steward nor the laundry would have been able to tell the clothes apart. But I knew. Each person has to make their own decisions. This is how I handled traveling with a newbie. I doubt that she will ever reach Elite but has voiced that she would love to travel with me again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted February 4, 2015 #23 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Thank you for the answer. You must be sitting at the computer at the same time I am. Missed your post prior to my answering you. I appreciate this reply. My "normal" cruise mate was within a cruise or two of my level so that was never a problem. We did stay in a couple of suites just to practice being elite. That was so nice.

EddieCruzer Posted February 4, 2015 #24 Share Posted February 4, 2015 The question about Elite laundry was asked on the Princess Facebook page. A cabin mate of the Elite passenger is indeed allowed to use the free laundry perk, but not others traveling in different cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted February 4, 2015 #25 Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) The only time I've gotten a corsage was when I was in a full suite. Do others get a corsage? This is a suite thing. Not an elite thing. At least all I know is that I have been Elite for a very long time and never received a corsage in the mini suites.
