Yensidlove Posted July 9, 2015 #101 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Well, the promotion was good for us. The Mexican Riviera 10/2016 I'd been watching did not go up one cent. So, we just booked it with the Sip and Sail promotion in a nice Caribe balcony on the Ruby. Nice to see they have an OBC option for folks that don't wish to have the AIBP (but we took the bev package ;)) . I also appreciate Princess adding on DH's Military OBC as well to the promotional booking. Happy Campers over here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EndersFoul Posted July 9, 2015 #104 Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) So unlike a lot of people here, our December Western Caribbean cruise actually went down in price today, but is not included in the sale. How do I try and get the lower price? We don't have a TA, put a deposit down but have not done final payment. But we did book airfare try EZAir at s great price a few weeks ago. Thank you!!

jasbo49 Posted July 9, 2015 #105 Share Posted July 9, 2015 The two cruises I was looking at, both 17-day sailings in December 2016, are the same price they were a week ago and now carry the drinks package. Sounds like ... dare I say it ... an actual deal. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskanb Posted July 9, 2015 #106 Share Posted July 9, 2015 No too much of a change for us Star June 7 Alaska land tour+cruise --down $50 but up in OBC --no drinks package for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulchili Posted July 9, 2015 #110 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Both my cruises went down in price (one almost $500/pp!) and include the packages (they are cruises in Japan). Now trying to get my TA to update my booking with the package and price (I hope) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2cruise Posted July 9, 2015 #111 Share Posted July 9, 2015 No 10 day Caribbean cruises included. :( We just booked a 10 day Caribbean cruise out of NYC for October and this was included in the sale. Read that this sale is only for cruises from May 2016 to end of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sox Fan Cruiser Posted July 9, 2015 #112 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Our Dec 2016 fare went down a little and includes the beverage package! That is a HUGE savings for us. We ALWAYS get the beverage package and come out ahead every time. Now THAT is even included!!! Thanks Princess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle_and_hawk Posted July 9, 2015 #114 Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) Ours actually dropped $50 a person from the original pre-sale price we booked it for earlier this week. It was actually the same we paid as received $50 off for bring a past guest but that was not applicable this time. Strange thing was when I called Princess, I could change the reservation over to the promotion, but the price was $50 higher than was I was looking at on the WEB site. I asked her about why it was higher, and she could not find the price I was seeing. So I had her cancel it, I rebooked it in 2 minutes, and kept her on the phone. She could then see the new price in the new reservation, and had no idea why she could not book it for that. Anyway, we got the drink promotion and speciality restaurant since in a mini, so very :D David & Ellen Edited July 9, 2015 by Eagle_and_hawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDC1 Posted July 9, 2015 #115 Share Posted July 9, 2015 This sale seems to have attracted attention. Today is the first time in a long time that I have had to wait on hold when calling Princess. Normally someone is on line within a few seconds. Today the message indicated that the wait time would be several minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 5:00_Somewhere Posted July 9, 2015 #117 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Our Dec 2016 fare went down a little and includes the beverage package! That is a HUGE savings for us. We ALWAYS get the beverage package and come out ahead every time. Now THAT is even included!!! Thanks Princess! Yeah, this was a win-win for us. In addition to the Bev package, we would have dined at at least one of the specialty restaurants anyway, plus we got an OBC and the price reduction. Sorry it's not working out for everyone, but I'm doing a bit of a happy dance over here. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shredie Posted July 9, 2015 #118 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Probably from people complaining............. LOL! None of my cruises showed up on this sale, but I did get a good price on the previous one. Agreeing with all the solo cruisers--what they need is a good sale for solos!

Rare PescadoAmarillo Posted July 9, 2015 #121 Share Posted July 9, 2015 It's doing nothing for us, but I didn't expect it to, since we generally book inside cabins and don't need the AIBP anyways. But I was surprised to see that, for every cruise we just booked in May when the 2016-17 Caribbean schedules opened, our inside cabin fare has gone up. Every cruise.

jasbo49 Posted July 9, 2015 #122 Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) For us, this promo proved too good to resist. A 17-day L.A. to Santiago cruise looked pretty good before, but looked outstanding with the drinks package and specialty dinner. Plus by booking this early, I was able to snag one of the extended-balcony minis I'd always wanted to try. I've never really considered getting the AIBP before. I just don't drink that much and didn't want to "try" to get my money's worth. Now I don't have to worry about justifying the expense, because it didn't cost us a thing. The cruise is exactly the same price with the package as it's been for the last month. Jim Edited July 9, 2015 by jasbo49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
