SmilesYourWay Posted May 1, 2019 #27 Share Posted May 1, 2019 On 4/23/2019 at 6:54 PM, azbirdmom said: You may not lose your casino fare. I always ask my TA to check fares using the "CASINO" code. To my surprise, it worked when we booked the newly released Tahiti cruises. It's worth asking your TA or Princess to use that code when you check to see if a promotion offers a better deal. I've played in the Casino when I cruised. But I haven't cruised in over 5 years. To get casino fares do you have to cruise within a specific timeline to receive that fare?

dog Posted May 1, 2019 #28 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I see a lower price listed for my Oct cruise, but when I select category price jumps up to $300pp more. My current price and promotions are so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Panama cruise is listed, but it would have to really go down in the fare price for me to take advantage as I booked back in November, 2018, under the $1 deposit and Cyber Event - 3 free perks. More OBC, free gratuities and only $2 for deposit. So will wait impatiently for May 1st! Pooh Good luck. Let us know how it works out for you.

BoopTennis Posted May 1, 2019 #30 Share Posted May 1, 2019 The new May deal is not better for my Jan 2020 cruise that i booked a month ago. Higher cabin price and lower OBC even including free gratuities. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffybunny22 Posted May 1, 2019 #31 Share Posted May 1, 2019 My bookings went up by $200 but we came out ahead because we got a $300 obc and free gratuities. Now I'm waiting for sip and sale to see how much they go up by. My husband really wants sip and sale because he doesn't like to feel nickel and dimed and have to think about does he really want to spend money on that extra glass of wine.

Bubbs33 Posted May 1, 2019 #32 Share Posted May 1, 2019 My Feb 2020 cruise isn't showing a sale. Price increase with no perks? I'll pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be significant savings for me on the cruise I have booked that is on the list and has no other promotion benefits. It will give us $200 of onboard credit and save me $217 on gratuities. The fare under the May sale is the same as when I booked the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S&DMOM Posted May 1, 2019 #34 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I am not seeing these offers under the "Deal" section of the website. Does it take a day or two update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see it under the deals either so I did a mock booking and it showed up at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzrbachoua Posted May 1, 2019 #37 Share Posted May 1, 2019 my sailing goes up a total of $140 but we are getting over $400 in benefits....so we still end up coming out ahead of what we currently have...unless my TA can keep our same pricing? fingers crossed.

They just called Princess to refare for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirenne Posted May 1, 2019 #42 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Glad to see my cruise went up in price since my booking on Monday! Also took advantage of the airfare promo before it expired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turquoisesea Posted May 1, 2019 #45 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I also went thru a fake booking online for our July,2020 European cruise. When we booked months ago there were no offers at al! The promos now show at the end. However, this cruise is almost sold out and our category is totally sold out. Is it still possible to rebook with our current cabin to pick up the promos?

Check the current fare first and if it's a better deal with the added gratuities and OBC. Hopefully your fare stayed the same as when you booked, that would be amazing.

AF-1 Posted May 1, 2019 #49 Share Posted May 1, 2019 So the May 1 sale is for cruises thru Jun of 2020; is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenswing Posted May 1, 2019 #50 Share Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) We ended up paying a fare increase of $260 total. That got us $500 OBC from Princess. An additional $25 OBC from our TA and $522 of free gratuities. Well worth the 20 minute phone call. Edited May 1, 2019 by Kenswing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
