puppymama1 Posted September 4, 2019 #5 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Our May, 2021 British Isles doesn't show the 3FF.... Anyone know if it will be included? I was really hoping for a price reduction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted September 4, 2019 #6 Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) Just looked at our 2020 Hawaii cruise. It is also listed with 3 for Free but price is the same for our suite. Even with free grats and OBC, it still comes out over $1,000 more than price we paid with our agent. We also have a non refundable deposit. We were offered a refundable one with a higher price and so to save more than $2,000 on the cruise we thought the NON refundable one was the better deal.

minniem Posted September 4, 2019 #7 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I booked a Caribbean cruise for Feb 2021 with the Sip and Sail promotion. Today I checked the price with 3 for free and not only does this promotion have a non refundable deposit but the price increased $50 pp. I prefer the 3 for free promotion because we don't drink much but not sure I want to pay more and also have a non refundable deposit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We booked last year's cruise under Sip and Sail; since I don't drink anything but water or lemonade, I asked if they could switch out the promo...they gave me $600 OBC instead (for a 14 night cruise). That worked out perfectly; don't see the benefit of having a perk like a beverage package that I won't use. The OBC was a great alternative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will remember for next time. Thanks for the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italy52 Posted September 4, 2019 #10 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Our Alaska cruise went up $200 if we took the new promo. Already have nice OBC and free grats from a previous promo so this one did no good for us. Hopefully, others will be able to benefit from the new promo.

Call whomever you booked with and ask for the N9 Refundable Rate Code and not the K9 Code that you are seeing online . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocklinmom Posted September 4, 2019 #14 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I just refared our four cabins with 3FF and our fare went down over $100pp, plus picked up grat's and OBC for all of us (not just first two in cabin). Still refundable deposit!! Check the popup window when doing a mock booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare azbirdmom Posted September 4, 2019 #15 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Our cruise fare after discounts for our Baltic cruise came down $40 for three for free. But to book that we would lose $180 in perks adding up the OBC + free gratuities given for 3 for free compared to the $500 in OBC we got for the Landmark sale. No deal for us!

They must have caught it. Glad I called early! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My TA said Princess would only book it with a non refundable deposit. I called Princess, went through booking process with a woman, as she assured me my FCD IS FULLY REFUNDABLE even though the promotion says non refundable deposit. She put me on hold, lost connection. I called back and went through booking process with another agent and he assured me my FCD are refundable in this situation. They have more flexibility with FCD. If cancelled by final payment FCD go back in my account, if expired they are refunded to credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may want to ask... while you may not lose the FCD if re-booking, you may lose the OBC that went with it.

58Piano Posted September 4, 2019 #22 Share Posted September 4, 2019 This deal sounds good at first. But in reality they increase the price to cover what they claim as free. I am not going to fall for this scam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much for that information. I was able to book with a refundable deposit, important to us since we are in our 70's and the cruise is a year and a half from now. Thanks again.

Okay, after my third call, speaking with a supervisor, she confirmed the previous 2 agents were correct. Even though the written confirmation says 10% non refundable as of today, they would still refund the FCD, as described above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
