How far out have you been able to use the Casino Rate?

[gremlinbangles]

So if you get this casino offer you still see regular prices on your screen but you then discount that amount by the percentage?

The Rep was incorrect.. This morning I received an email from Princess extending my Casino Credit. Here is what it said. I removed my name & CC #

 

Offer applies to NEW BOOKINGS ONLY.

† Additional savings apply to new bookings only for cruise fare or Land and Sea fare only and are not combinable with select promotional amenities including, but not limited to, air discounts, complimentary beverage packages; as well as Interline, Travel Consultant and Friends & Family fares.

Offer is not transferable and is available to select Casino Guests who are 21 years of age or older and who receive this offer.

 

My husband got the email, too. I wonder if the previous casino rate did allow for 3 and 4 passengers in a cabin to get the discount.....the rep I spoke with yesterday seemed very certain of her answer. Anyway, doesn't really make any difference since the new one doesn't and I didn't book yesterday.:(

Reps always sound certain. ;) The old rate (which I still have) is the same.

We booked our SE Asia cruises for 2016 some time ago and got an amazing casino rate. This new offer of 10% or even 20% off a mini does not even come close to the great fare we have.

I am just so happy we booked when we did.

Does anyone know if you can book the casino rate while on board a ship with a Cruise Consultant? Reason I ask is I have no future cruise deposits right now but will next week when I get aboard the CB.

Sure. Just ask them to see if the casino rate is available for the cruise you are interested in and tell them about your email.

Princess rep told us the casino rate is not good on 2017 cruises:(

 

I used the "casino" pricing on two cruises in 2017. The Star Princess 15-day RT Hawaii on 2-7-17 and the Ruby Princess 7-day West Coast on 4-22-17.

 

Try again.

Good news. While speaking to a rep today I asked if she could check the expiration date of the new casino offer. She was amazed as it said April 2018.

Is anyone willing to post what the regular fare was and what the fair was with the casino rate? That would be helpful to others to see what benefits you can get.

It's a percentage off depending on where you're going:

 

Alaska, Europe, Japan:

Int 25%

OV 20%

Balc 15%

Mini 10%

Suite 5%

 

Everywhere else add 10% percent to those discounts, so interior 35% etc. On the fares that include port fees and taxes, they deduct the port fees before applying the discount, then add them back in so the port fees are not discounted.

I'm a bit confused. So the casino rate you got was different from what you would have gotten if you used the best rate available and then took off the percentage?

 

We just booked a Panama Canal cruise for Nov 2016 and got 20% on the mini suite.
