She told me my cruise was not eligible because it was the come back new offer and the sale didn't start till after March 26. Any help or advice?? TIA Eligible sailing are from April 2020 onwards so if you are sailing in February then your cruise is not eligible 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had two clients with bookings on Discovery in April 22. Both just regular pricing with no promo. One client was able to refare to BSE for no additional charge so ended up with all 3 perks without paying anything extra. The other client could not refare as she was in a sold out category (those amazing window suites) but I added on Grats and Drink Package using BEST2DG - she had no need for wifi as she is elite and has enough free minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, a TA can do this in Polar at the time of booking - it's just a code added in the first screen after category/fare selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ceilidh1 Posted February 4, 2020 #31 Share Posted February 4, 2020 It wouldn't surprise me to see that the BSE model of buying WITH perks or WITHOUT perks continues past Feb 29th. I would be surprised if the add-on feature continues, though. I'm not sure that was as well thought out as it should have been. I'm thinking that it was initially designed so that there wasn't a rush to refare and get lower pricing. However, as an add-on it's a no-brainer if you were planning on buying the drink package anyways! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare trinitygirl Posted February 4, 2020 #34 Share Posted February 4, 2020 i rang my TA here in Australia but it turns out that this wonderful offer doesn't apply here, even though my cruise is in Japan, not in Australia. That really sucks because this seems like really good value to me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisemel Posted February 4, 2020 #35 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Just called and added the Best2DG to my existing booking. Was super easy to do. I just made sure to stress that it was an add-on & not a refare & it was done! Thanks to all of the helpful advice I received from all of you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just able to add the Best3DG to an existing booking as well. For $40 a day pp and a small bump in my vacation protection ... I got all I want to make my cruise stress free! I agree, it was super easy to do! Plus, they just came out with the Valentine's gift card promotion ... so the bonus card covered the bump in my insurance. Win win!!

weedhopper Posted February 7, 2020 #37 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I have booked a cruise for August 2020 with the BEST3 offer. However, we already receive free internet minutes with our status. Do you know if it's possible to re -fare with the BEST2DG code? We would save $140 on a seven day cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PandaBear62 Posted February 7, 2020 #38 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) Rats, I booked the 3 because I didn't realize I could just do the drinks and gratuities. Do you think I could change? Edited February 7, 2020 by PandaBear62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weedhopper Posted February 7, 2020 #40 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Hopefully someone will respond and tell us it's possible to re-fare with the different code and remove the Wi-Fi and save some money! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aac1623 Posted February 7, 2020 Author #41 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I assume if you call and say you want to replace the add on offer with the Best2DG they would. Idk about the refaring though. Doesn’t hurt to try!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moobear67 Posted February 8, 2020 #42 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Does anyone know how much the Best2DG is per person per day? I know the Best3DG is $40 per day. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kjwesty Posted February 10, 2020 #45 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Hi - we've just added it to ours. We sail 4 April and I booked directly through Princess in July last year. I called Princess directly and they let us add it on. £35 each adult even after I'd paid the final balance. We didn't have to add it on for the children. We were going to pay for the drinks packages and wifi anyway, so for us it has worked out much cheaper. We just need to add the soda packages for the children! We definitely can't book our cabin now (for 4 - we can for 2). (This is from the UK). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prolificc Posted February 25, 2020 #46 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Just wanted to share my experience. I booked my cruise using my Chase Ultimate Rewards points, through the Chase travel agent. At first they said they were only able to give me the BEST3 promo, so I booked with that, but then I took the advice here and called back and explained I wanted BEST2DG since I didn't want the wifi. They put me on hold while they called Princess and were able to swap out my promotion, refunding my points back to my account. Hope this helps anyone else in a similar situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
