rocklinmom Posted October 16, 2015 #1 Share Posted October 16, 2015 We have a June 2016 cruise booked that goes to Tracy Arm Fjord/round trip San Francisco. We booked under the 3 for free promotion. Today I noticed that our cruise now shows as 3 for Free plus a Bonus Offer of OBC (up to $100 per passenger, even third and fourth passengers in a cabin, which is rare!). The fares are the same and the promotion is identical to what we booked, plus this new OBC offer. It is good as of yesterday (October 15) to October 26th. What a fantastic surprise! Sure enough, I just got off the phone with Princess and the rep (who was fabulous, by the way) added the OBC to our existing reservation. For five of us that is $500 OBC. Just because I noticed this and called to ask. So if you are booked on a 2016 Alaska cruise out of San Fran that goes to Tracy Arm (not Glacier Bay, those cruises just show the regular 3 for Free promotion), check this offer out!

JF - retired RRT Posted October 16, 2015 #2 Share Posted October 16, 2015 You might want to post this info on your roll call. There is a captive audience just waiting to get extra OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denatravels Posted October 18, 2015 #5 Share Posted October 18, 2015 It works on the San Fransisco to Alaska cruises, as well. Unfortunately, not my southbound cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satxdiver Posted October 18, 2015 #6 Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) It works on the San Fransisco to Alaska cruises, as well. Unfortunately, not my southbound cruise. bummer! Edited October 18, 2015 by satxdiver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denatravels Posted October 18, 2015 #7 Share Posted October 18, 2015 bummer! Yes!! Especially since I'm traveling solo, and I would get double-- that isn't how it works on other cruises-- pay double prices, get benefits for one. But final payment isn't until May, so hoping something else will come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANKS for posting that info. My TA just got my bonus for a June 2016 Alaska cruise from Seattle. Every little bit helps.

FridaysChild Posted October 18, 2015 #9 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Thank you!!!! This is one of the many reasons I love Cruise Critic! Our June Alaska cruise was included in the promotion (it is the Seattle round trip, Tracy Arm itinerary). Just called our TA. He called Princess to get the credit applied. For us, that's an extra $400. Woohoo! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocklinmom Posted October 19, 2015 Author #10 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Yay! So glad that there are more of us able to get this extra OBC. And yes this is a perfect example of how great Cruise Critic is :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lubber Line Posted October 19, 2015 #11 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Spoke with Princess rep this morning. $200.00 onboard credit added to my booking. May 08, 2016; RT Seattle, WA; Ruby Princess. Thank you rocklinmom. Without Cruise Critic, I would have missed this additional bonus. Awesome. Regards, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocklinmom Posted October 21, 2015 Author #16 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Oh, that's good to know - so apparently this OBC bonus offer applies to the 7 day Seattle itineraries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denatravels Posted October 21, 2015 #17 Share Posted October 21, 2015 It's worth checking after November 3-- the next sale might even be better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Raider Posted October 22, 2015 #18 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Thanks for posting this -- I tried calling about this but since I booked under a casino rate, which has now expired, they would have to refare me so didn't work out this time. Worth a try, though... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocklinmom Posted October 22, 2015 Author #19 Share Posted October 22, 2015 That's a bummer, Cruise Raider, but you're right - it's always worth a try! Especially for free money to use on your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Raider Posted October 23, 2015 #20 Share Posted October 23, 2015 That's a bummer, Cruise Raider, but you're right - it's always worth a try! Especially for free money to use on your cruise. Thanks .... still happy about the price of our cruise....but always find good uses for extra OBC. My brother and his wife will be joining us for her 50th birthday celebration. I was really hoping to surprise her with a few extra dollars. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocklinmom Posted October 23, 2015 Author #21 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Final reminder on this extra OBC - it expires in three days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEtue Posted October 23, 2015 #22 Share Posted October 23, 2015 As a solo - prices are too high and the OBC doesn't help enough to offset. Now that Princess no longer offers a 150% supplement I need to wait for the sales next year.....:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
