Does Princess Elevated Sailing Status Make You Eligible For Better Cruise Fares?

[need2cruisesoon]

Seems like when I went to Ruby status the promos for certain cruises have been very aggressive. Princess really has taken care of their loyal passengers it seems.

 

Perhaps Platinum/Elites are rewarded with deeply discounted fares?

I wish, we are platinum, going on Elite, and have not noticed anything different/special.

Other than the past cruiser fares everyone gold and up gets, nothing special.

So where r u seeing these fares?

 

 

They could just be targeting you...maybe they like your spending habits on the ship or maybe you have not cruised in a while, or you recently cruised an itinerary that they are not selling well. I do know I have received special offers...but I do not think it has anything to do with my status.

If you’re in the US, you can do far better using a TA that discounts fares and gives extra OBC. All TAs can do this but some do, most don’t. I save anywhere from 10-15% or more, depending on the cruise and cabin type. Look for a TA that books a high volume of Princess cruises, not just a so-called “cruise specialist.”

I've been elite for years -- NO "deeply" discounted fares or any discounts except from my TA, as Pam posted. In fact, since I'm a solo, any of my discounts are on a doubled fare.

I have not noticed special pricing. I think the same "special pricing" is available once you've cruised once with Princess and what's that, $100 off pricing?

Nothing special for us as Platinum...it's just good ole fashion detective work checking the cruise sites daily for best deals...and it's $50 off per person after first cruise (Thus far for us).

The only great fares I’ve ever seen are casino rate fares.

I do much better with my TA rather than with Princess. I am Elite, sailing single and those double rates, never notice much of a discount on their pricing.
