We would rather cruise in January but they will not extend them and it would make me physically ill to lose them. 🙂 The funny thing is that they gave us goodwill credits in the amount of our cruise ticket. My son was $1 because we booked him under that promo so he has $1 of goodwill credits. It kind of stinks since these credits were basically an "I'm sorry" for canceling your cruise one hour before departure. I would love to get the same price I paid originally! It was the first time that I ever wished I had overpaid for a cruise! lol I have it on good authority that changes to expiration dates are coming soon.

Would it be for goodwill credits or FCC? I have heard that people have been able to get their FCC extended but not their goodwill credits.

I think they just recycle a couple of different packages and rename them, but ultimately they are all the same. I imagine that if one wanted that Plus package, there might be some savings. But, probably not as much to cover the $50.00. per person per day price of adding the Plus Package to today's fares. We will soon see! I imagine the discounted fare that we are getting when logged in to our Princess CC Account will disappear. So, I will check, but I am not really thinking that it would save us enough to bother cancelling and rebooking. We have messages in to the Princess Planner, (since yesterday) but, no surprise, no response at all yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocklinmom Posted August 31, 2022 #30 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Hoping that the new promo will be something like Plus perks at Standard prices. Anything to spur me to book...still on the fence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called and the problem was that the system was applying my credits and forced it to be a booking. I’m glad a have time to see what is in store tomorrow.

Wishing on a star Posted August 31, 2022 #32 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I hope so too. I know you are excited booking this cruise with your son! Glad you got the 3 day hold, and I hope it all works out well! Your son would probably enjoy the soda package as much as you might enjoy the drink package.

kiwimum Posted September 1, 2022 #34 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I booked a Norway cruise on the Sky this morning and was able to get a Dolphin extended balcony for the price of an inside. Happy camper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiliconCruiser Posted September 1, 2022 #35 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Compared the "promotion" with some of the cruises that we have booked for next year. Seems that they're now around $50 more per night ... 😲 Princess promotions are starting to sound a bit car dealer promotions ... 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRINCESS Sweet Pea Posted September 1, 2022 #36 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Yep, this would be an actual fare increase for us too. If anyone is looking at a cruise and has priced it out, especially while logged in as Captain's Circle, want to put a hold or book while that fare is still showing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can now book a minisuite for only £100 more than my original cabin, although I do lose $200 obc, but as I have shareholder obc, that is no big loss. Will be calling my TA later today.

Jadn13 Posted September 1, 2022 #39 Share Posted September 1, 2022 The price has gone up on an Alaska cruise I was watching but I still need to do the math on the extras to see if I come out ahead.. It may just average out to a free drink pkg which is still a win for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lady Arwen Posted September 1, 2022 #42 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Our British Isles cruise has increased by $310(ca) per person basic fare. And no OBC. We have $100 OBC. Not a sale for us! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenc56 Posted September 1, 2022 #43 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Checked my TA and it went UP $198, thanks but I'll keep my booking. What a deal!!! Waiting on a dream✌️😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocklinmom Posted September 1, 2022 #44 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Well so much for an exciting new promo. It's just the same Plus fare with a shorex credit. And if you book Standard to save some money you don't get the shorex credit. Guess I'll have to wait until after final payment and see if they drop the fares on any remaining cabins...

dmcfad2 Posted September 1, 2022 #45 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I have the standard package on my upcoming 10 day cruise. We always buy wi-fi. If I upgrade to plus with this promo and add everything up, I will be getting the drink package for $179 per person. We aren’t huge drinkers, but I’m thinking we could each drink $17.90 per day, between soda, alcohol, and water. And we would need to buy a ship excursion to take advantage of the $100 excursion credit. I’m debating. Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LACruiser88 Posted September 1, 2022 #46 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I checked all of our 8 booked cruises, no deals for us! It's what we expected, blah.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRINCESS Sweet Pea Posted September 1, 2022 #47 Share Posted September 1, 2022 The cruise I checked, when I pull it up this morning it is like the system isn't working well with the new promo. It has the red promo tag, but then when you select the cruise and choose a cabin, it goes to the rates where the plus package is included at the $50. per day. Confusing!

schmoopie17 Posted September 1, 2022 #48 Share Posted September 1, 2022 The deposit amount has gone up significantly as of today. Yesterday we booked the Eclipse cruise on Discovery Princess for April, 2024. Deposit was $100. Doing a fake booking today, the deposit has gone up to $800. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRINCESS Sweet Pea Posted September 1, 2022 #49 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Did you for sure get the promo with the Plus Package. How much did the rate go up today? I am wondering about technical problems with this promo, so I am curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that Posted September 1, 2022 #50 Share Posted September 1, 2022 The $50 deposit offer that you booked under ended yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
