Anybody get any info on these "prestige" cruises with FP yet?  It shows in my onboard credits in my account but no email or snail mail yet.

 

Nope.  I was told they were being released yesterday not nothing yet.

Strange way to access it. go to my acct, then my princess HOME, then circle savings acct, then onboard credits (mine says zero, then open onboard credits, then open details- We have it also doesnt specify anything about it though, just with $500 casino cash & book by the end of April,

Just received my offer in email An hour ago.  Three cruises, and it looks like no other dates than the ones provided.

 

In the past I’ve seen comments that the gift was equivalent of an iPad or similar value.  I seem to remember that from a Princess statement, but not 100% sure of the source.

 

trying to figure out a way to go on one of these.  Not sure my boss will go for 3 cruises, plus Aulani, all in a year.

I already had the enchanted booked for October 1st through a casino offer.   I called Princess and cancelled that cruise and booked this cruise and I'm receiving a refund.  I was offered a balcony, 500 free play and the princess plus for free.  There are other amenities but the agent told me I would receive an email to pick  one of the three offers.

[suekel]

I also received today.  I booked the New England cruise for October 22.  Free Balcony, $500 in free play and the plus package.  We're doing our first VIP cruise the following month so it'll be interesting to see how they compare.

Which is better VIP or Prestige?

Just booked the offer for 10 day Alaska from San Francisco August 28.  $500 free play, Princess Plus, balcony stateroom.  Agent told me she thought I would choose the suit option onboard.  We'll see. I hope to get an email like gerig said.  I prefer to have it done ahead of time.  I think I like the "diamond" package.  Lots of offers from Princess but this is the best free play offer I've had.

We got the emailed Prestige offer about an hour ago. Very surprised & disappointed that it only lists 4 cruises: Europe, 2 Alaskas, & an New England one this summer & fall. Ours was balcony, $500 FP, & the princess plus.

VIP is a group casino program that has nitely promotional games to win more free play, like hot seat, card draws, etc. Also gives you free food/wine & gifts to your cabin. Prestige is more special, where you get certain benefits, as you read, on the ship: like the free excursion, free dinner, free serenity, etc. Still will have the same promos as the VIP.   The Ultra VIP is special also, where you get an electronic item, also will have the nitely promos as VIP.        Started on Carnival where that one is Ultra (we've gotten a 65"TV,  freeplay, & 3rd time an apple watch) & the Prestige is called Elite (also gives you free drinks all over the ship, & free parking or free airport pick up & drop off) & the VIP is called Premiere.

Supposedly Prestige.  More free play at least.

Thank you.   there was no mention of free parking but I would definitely love to save that money because it gives me more money to play in the casino.  The Canada cruise is leaving from Brooklyn where I'm sure the parking is at a minimum of $30 per day.

I received the same offer.  I already had the Enchanted booked for Oct 1, 2022 through a casino offer, but the prestige gave me more so I changed cruises.

Diamond for me also.  I wouldn't mind a dinner but not sure I want to have it with a casino host.  I think thats strange.

Been in the steakhouse when they were at a large table near us. Its about a group of 8 people at the table plus one or two of the casino hosts.

I booked the prestige offer for $1500 fp + mini suite for the transatlantic cruise on the regal in oct this year. Currently on ultimate vip cruise with $1000 and mini suite. Prizes were minimum $350 freeplay or roomba or soundbar up to $1250 freeplay or MacBook.

I  just received an offer for a prestige cruise. How was the casino, esp. BJ tables? Were they overcrowded or the same as any other trip? I just think with all the gamblers, and limited number of tables (been on 2 cruises so far, they each had only one 3/2BJ table), tables may be packed. Was that your experience on the prestige voyages?

[CalLuvsCrusingToo]

I just got one as well.  Can't talk to the Tables?  But the casino Can be overcrowded.

However, a Prestige cruise has fewer casino invited guests, than a Vip cruise.

I adjust my playing Times, to Not be there during the busiest times.

Just found out that my March 2 Sky cruise is a prestige cruise . Any idea how many people would be a part of this. I'd feel better if it was a smaller number.

Like I said in post above yours...... Prestige is  Less invited bodies than a Vip cruise.

We really don't know for sure until onboard.
