Chewbecca Posted January 5, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Hi all, we're seriously considering our first Princess cruise due to the Japanese itinerary, we have mostly travelled with Celebrity but also a little HaL and some of the smaller lines. Question is do Princess tend to do deals or offers that are worth waiting for? We like to book X and HAL when they are offering drinks packages but also sometimes OBC, free grats etc. Having not looked closely at Princess previously I don't know if it is worth waiting for a good package to come along or not. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare dides Posted January 5, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Question is do Princess tend to do deals or offers that are worth waiting for? Hi, we do get some offers in the UK e.g. free onboard credit included, low or £1 deposit, free airfare for Med cruises, money off flights to Asia, unlimited drinks on certain cruises.

antsp Posted January 5, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Lots of good UK offers on at the moment, 3rd and 4th pax at £99. 14 night cruise from Southampton for a family of 4 end of July £2350. That’s only £590 pp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbeckett Posted January 5, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I would say unless you are sailing from Southampton then deals/offers on Princess are basically non-existent for UK cruisers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antsp Posted January 5, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 5, 2018 No not at all, most cruises are cheaper to book in the UK than the US at the moment. I have a Princess UK and US accounts and always price check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewbecca Posted January 6, 2018 Author #8 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Hmm, thanks for the advice - a mixed bag! The cruise we're looking at is £1850 pp for 8 nights (balcony) - £230pppn with no perks which doesn't seem great to me. 3rd passenger is £931. £99 would be nice! It says 'sale' but doesn't seem to be. I will hang on & keep an eye on it I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbecca Posted January 6, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted January 6, 2018 It is a Japanese cruise by the way, not out of Southampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
