DrivesLikeMario Posted June 7, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Just FYI and I hope I'm not duplicating any other post - Starting June 20th through August 31st, the Sip n' Sail Promo will be running for cruises from "Summer 2018 through Spring, 2019". I don't have anything more specific than that at this moment. If you book a mini-suite or full suite, you also get one free specialty dinner. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums I am hoping they will allow me to replace AIBP with an OBC as they have at times in the past.

Thrak Posted June 7, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I'm wondering if it will apply to longer cruises. I have it for my 28 day this coming October but I would dearly love to have it for the 49 day we booked for February 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted June 7, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted June 7, 2017 That's a good question, Thrak. I would definitely compare prices before and after the Sip n' Sail. In the past, the fares have gone up on some cruises, thus making the 'free' drinks not such a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreaminofcruisin Posted June 7, 2017 #9 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Awesome! I am tracking the current price of a cruise...waiting hopefully for the Sip and Sale. Thanks!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEINER Posted June 7, 2017 #10 Share Posted June 7, 2017 We are booked on the 49 day South Amercia cruise in 2019. When be booked Princess gave us $1,000.00 OBC for booking. If they offer the drink package for this cruise would we lose the OBC? Thanks, Betty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jeter02 Posted June 7, 2017 #12 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I totally agree, as I would prefer a lower fare as well. I don't really drink, so sip and sale does nothing for me. Thanks!

Coffeeluvr05 Posted June 7, 2017 #15 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I agree!! Hopefully it will be coming one of these days:) Last year the sip and sail came around the same time and I believe the 3 for free came shortly after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkspy Posted June 7, 2017 #16 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Yeah I would prefer the 3 for free sale! If you don't drink..The 3 for Free is a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted June 7, 2017 #17 Share Posted June 7, 2017 So HOPE there will be a "Sip & Sail" promo on June 20th. :halo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffeeluvr05 Posted June 7, 2017 #18 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I checked old emails and the 3 for free started last year on September 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelingEA Posted June 7, 2017 #19 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I totally agree, as I would prefer a lower fare as well. I don't really drink, so sip and sale does nothing for me. We don't drink either, however we did get OBC instead of the drink package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted June 7, 2017 #20 Share Posted June 7, 2017 That's a good question, Thrak. I would definitely compare prices before and after the Sip n' Sail. In the past, the fares have gone up on some cruises, thus making the 'free' drinks not such a great deal. The weird thing about our 28 day in October is that it was listed at the same price as last year but this year included the Sip and Sail. We jumped on it. Of course now it is currently about $200 pp less than our booking price but that price doesn't include the Sip and Sail. On a 28 day cruise the Sip and Sail package for two people comes to a whopping $3,218.20 so I'm not really interested in losing that perk in order to re-fare at the lower rate. (I would never pay that much for drinks but love having it as a perk. :cool:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knbcruisers Posted June 7, 2017 #21 Share Posted June 7, 2017 How did the OBC in lieu of the drink package compare in $? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEINER Posted June 7, 2017 #22 Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) Most likely yes. Was the OBC for anything in particular? It was a launching OBC from Princess. If you booked a Balcony or Mini Suite.

nukesubsailor Posted June 7, 2017 #23 Share Posted June 7, 2017 In anticipation of the Sip & Sail promotion I made myself a note showing the launch fare that I booked a 14-day cruise at last March and a 14-day & 7-day cruises I booked last month. I also made note of the value of the all inclusive beverage package. ($804.30 for a 14 day cruise, $402.15 for a 7 day cruise.) When the promo starts I will check the fares charged at that time to see if I would be better off to cancel and rebook under the promo or stick with my existing booking. Then, just for the heck of it, I checked the fares being charged today for my 3 bookings. The two 14-day bookings fares have gone up by $100 per person and the 7-day booking has gone up $50 per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't bat an eye at that price reduction. You struck gold on that booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted June 8, 2017 #25 Share Posted June 8, 2017 How did the OBC in lieu of the drink package compare in $? Sent from my iPhone using Forums I believe it maxed out at $250 per person and you couldn't swap it for one person and keep the AIBP for the other person in the cabin.
