justafem Posted October 27, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2022 All on the Royal Jan 6, 2023; 10 day Mexican CA coastal $249 pp Jan 31, 2023; 10 day Mexican CA coastal $249 pp Feb 25, 2023; 5 day CA coastal $99 pp April 11, 2023; 5 day southern CA coastal $99 pp April 16, 2023; 7 day southern CA coastal $149 pp April 30, 2023; 7 day northern CA coastal $149 pp For these fares, you must have cruised with Princess before AND you have to book them WITHOUT princess plus or premium. You can add princess plus or premium after booking. If you book before Oct 31, you'll get an additional $200 per room 'excursion' credit. Excursion promotion might have been extended. From what my online TA told me, the 'excursion' credit is regular onboard credit. I guess I'll find out. I'm doing a B2B of April 11 and April 16. Added princess plus after booking and we're good to go. Already had the Jan 31 already booked with a casino fare, so it didn't get any cheaper. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fares, along with that $200 OBC, are so inexpensive. BTW, my CVP mentioned the Love Boat sale is extended through November 2nd. And she also mentioned to me that the excursion credit is like regular onboard credit. Yay! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partybarbie Posted October 27, 2022 #5 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Interesting, I logged into the Princess website but I'm not getting those prices. I wonder why? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why? A couple people have mentioned on FB they don't have the low fares either. Use Hubs account maybe? I logged into hubs and a couple of friends accounts and they had the low fares. BUT I logged into another friends account and she didn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paradiselivin1 Posted October 27, 2022 #8 Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) My guess is that is for CA residents only as I often see special pricing for FL residents as it is for cruises from FLL. Just checked on Princess site from here and they show nothing for CA coastal and I didn't even log in but know they know where I am...

Starshine95123 Posted October 27, 2022 #9 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I got the low fares too. My hubby and a friend showed higher prices. I was going to send it to my friend until I read the small print. It says it’s non-transferable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a California resident, and I'm not seeing those prices in either my own account or hubby's. Maybe these prices are incentives for people who haven't cruised lately?

Yes, they are casino rates. You must have gotten the casino offer via the email offer and they were sent out randomly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just logged in and don't qualify as I only spend time in the casino when a group is doing a slot pull and it's not in my name.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partybarbie Posted October 27, 2022 #16 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Lol, my heart almost stopped when I saw the pricing on the April cruises. We are booked for two weeks, with Princess Plus, for $779, per person, per week, with $100 TA credits, per person, per week. I'm still happy with that.

seekatz Posted October 27, 2022 #18 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Not these rates for us either, and we would have received resident rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedferg Posted October 27, 2022 #19 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Well I checked the Feb 25 coastal and though I did not get $99 I got something like $490 pp but also $490 total! Is this a computer glitch? Then I looked at Price Breakdown and see they are adding our FCC 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sonomaphil Posted October 27, 2022 #20 Share Posted October 27, 2022 If you qualify, the casino rates are a great savings. We booked the 4/30/23 NW Pacific coastal RT from SF on Ruby for $309 a person for a Caribe balcony. Current regularly listed price would be $744 for the same cabin, so almost 60% off. Plus $200 in OBC included. Add to that we used 2 FCD's plus we get CCL shareholder credit and some TA OBC. All told $450 total in OBC for this particular cruise. Not bad at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telecheck Posted October 27, 2022 #21 Share Posted October 27, 2022 For the same ship and same itinerary, you only pay $135 per person in 2022. In the 2023, you have to pay $257 per person, which is $122 more than current year. This is unreasonable. You can't get away with the taxes and port fees no matter what deal you received. Not a deal breaker, but the much higher taxes and port fees really defeat the purpose of the $100 excursion credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ombud Posted October 27, 2022 #22 Share Posted October 27, 2022 When I compare these prices to last year, all 4 of my upcoming cruises are a lot lot lower. Thinking of finding yet another for next summer but I want it out of my home port. Airfares are ridiculous FWIW solo cruiser only booking balconies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a deal breaker, but the much higher taxes and port fees really defeat the purpose of the $100 excursion credit. I booked that same itinerary for this year and paid the higher taxes. I am assured they will be adjusted board to the lower price. I have the screen shots both showing what I paid and what is supposed to be charged. I understand the taxes were lowered after I made my payment. I will expect to have to go to guest services in case my refundable obc is not adjusted automatically.
