CruiseVA Posted January 5, 2020 #26 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) 46 minutes ago, crystalspin said: I believe the Best2DG and Best2DW (note the insertion of "2") are only for fares that already have the other perk already -- Wifi for the Best2DG and gratuities for Best2DW. IOW they are not intended to let you pick and choose, but only to make up the difference so you cruise will be all-inclusive. Wishing you luck applying add-ons down under! I would verify this - I've been able to apply the Best 2DG to many cruises that had other promos with no WiFi promo - just OBC or whatevers... It was a pick & choose for us. But, we are not down under.... Still, I love the Vegemite! Edited January 5, 2020 by CruiseVA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalspin Posted January 5, 2020 #27 Share Posted January 5, 2020 OK, good, I was wrong about that! I added the ones to "complete" what I had because I wanted all three, but I did see the document intended for TAs that seemed to indicate what I said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again for the info 🤔 Pharry, Unfortunately we come the "Land Down Under", where Princess is not so kind to us. Whilst we currently have a similar Best Sale Ever, ours only has WiFi and Drinks Package included. Alas, possibly because there is no Gratuities for Australian based Cruises, we don't get free Gratuities, which would make it worthwhile for those that do not partake in Alcohol, and taking non-Australian Based Cruises.

Thanks Fosters 1951, apparentley our cruise, which is to Alaska doesnt qualify for the Best Sale Ever benifits because no packages were "on sale" when we booked. It seems it doesnt always pay to book your cruise 12 months out. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiggertom Posted January 5, 2020 #35 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I can see that the deal is for departures up to April 2022 but I can’t see a start date. You should speak to your travel agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it still true that this only works on cruises after March? They extended it to cruises sailing before April just after Christmas. I phoned twice and was told it was not eligible for my cruise in March, both times though I was told they were adding sailings all the time so try again. I successfully added it at the end of December. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butterfly liz Posted January 5, 2020 #41 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I also added to my cruise leaving on the 22nd. I phoned Iglu just before Christmas Eve and managed to get it added on although it was my 2nd attempt at trying they told me the 1st time it was not valid on my sailing.

I was told by Princess that can not be done. After reading through threads on CC, I knew that it could. I told the rep the code to use and he was shocked that it worked. I guess that we all learn something new every day. For us, it added an extra $600 to the fare, however on a 10 day $300 would be gratuities so for $150pp or $15 per day we scored the drink package. That is a win in my book! Thank you Cruise Critic! I also caught this add on for MAy 2020, TA said extra $630 but I’m still waiting for my invoice with added perks and total due (added Dec 12th, original booking made Dec 9th). Person who cleared everything with Princess is not the person I am dealing with at this point, maybe they don’t know how to do it....If you don’t mind me asking, would you mind sharing the code?

Fishboy1947 Posted January 6, 2020 #45 Share Posted January 6, 2020 My TA said she was told by Princess that the promotion was only for cruises after April 2020, mine is Feb 2. Can I request directly with Princess or do I have to go thru TA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aruba<3 Posted January 6, 2020 #46 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Not sure, I would think since you booked through TA, everything would have to be done through them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katwoman007 Posted January 8, 2020 #49 Share Posted January 8, 2020 My PTA rocks! I had a 3 for Free... promo... but it had a non refundable... but by calling in they could give me a refundable deposit (using future cruise credits) then they added a free dinner for 2... with a price drop for like a 3 day sale.. and we upgraded our category for $25 total.... AND was given a choice of rooms when all there were was guaranteed cabins. So, called today and for $175 per person... we got the Free drink package and internet in addition to all of our other goodies! I had zero clue that was an option, but our guy made it happen. For us, $25 a day is less than 3 drinks which we could easily do. so YAY! I love working with the Princess Travel Agents! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorset Cruiser Posted January 8, 2020 #50 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Today our TA got the drinks, internet, gratuities package added to our 19th March 18 day cruise in a minisuite. Cost £630 per person but think we will get our value out of it as we have 8 seadays and no nasty onboard account at the end of it 😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
