Princess sales

[Thrak]

Found it and was surprised to find there is a local outlet. Will be contacting them tomorrow. Looking at a 33 day B2B2B out of Melbourne next fall. 😎

search princess 3 day sale.  It should be live tomorrow.  It will be better than booking direct because of the gratuities.  Good luck.

We just got confirmation that the sale will start tomorrow through day from out agent! We are booking for Jan 2021.

So is that company your "usual" TA or did you get the confirmation from another TA that will book through that specific company? I normally book through a specific TA and would love to continue to book through him but want this deal from the online folks.

[lindsaygal]

We are going through our normal TA, how she is getting the deal I have no idea 🙂

[camper49]

I don’t see the deal...other than a coupon book & $50 obc ..???

[terry&mike]

Your "normal TA" can book this for you if your normal TA is part of this company. As noted before it is not a big box store but sometimes referred to that way. It is a lot of small boxes in Canada and US.

Free Gratuities

I can't find it either

So I agree with above and don't really see the big 3 day-sale?  I got better OBC through Princess last month.  Guess I will just wait for the S & S with Princess later this month.  Does anybody know what date that is supposed to start?

I read somewhere it was the 13 but it was nothing official just another post somewhere. I also don’t see the sale everyone is talking about just 50$ obc and reduced deposit.

Okay thanks, I'm sure someone will be posting about it closer to the date.  This is our first booking with Princess, all of this unknown is nerve-wracking 🤪.  This is coupon book they are referring to is also new to us, and not sure if that is really a perk or not.  Reduced deposits aren't that important, you have to pay them at some point, we got a 2/1 deal last month, our main thing is getting a refundable deposit more than anything.  Well just wait and see for the next sale.

I don't see any difference today.  Am I missing the sale somehow?

The next Princess sale begins in June 11. It’s their Sun Drenched deals

some coupon books from TA's have a BOGO for a specialty restaurant for the first night only - look for it as soon as you get the book

Thanks.  I had a note that there was supposed to be a 3-day sale starting today.  Our cruise isn't until June 2020 but it's CRAZY expensive, so I'm checking everyday!

From what I have read this doesn't include Alaskan cruises, so we won't qualify for this one.

There's a local event near me but I don't think I'll go. It's free grats and free drinks +$50OBC.

I like the free grats but don't get excited about free drinks

Does anyone know if the free grats is oniy on the free drinks, or is it truly free gratuities.   The sip'n'sail promotion that is coming up shortly is typically only free drinks(including gratuities on the drinks).

 

NCL breaks out free drinks and you have to pay for the gratuities on the free drinks.

Free gratuities. The free drinks also include free gratuities on the drinks.

My Hawaii cruise went down in price, so I called Princess.  The rep told me to wait for the S & S coming on 6/13.
