Some great fares IF you have the offers and if you can drop and go.
 
Roundtrip from Los Angeles, California Interior from $ 50 Jan 28
 
Roundtrip from Galveston, Texas Interior from $ 50 Feb 5
 
Roundtrip from San Francisco, California Interior from $ 50 Jan 31 (we're on this one)
 
Roundtrip from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida Interior from $ 50 March 2
 
Roundtrip from Los Angeles, California Interior from $ 50 Feb 20
 
Roundtrip from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida Interior from $ 50 Feb 26
 
Roundtrip from Los Angeles, California Interior from $ 99 March 2
 
Roundtrip from San Francisco, California Interior from $ 100 March 12 (we're on this one too).
 
I checked all 3 family members and 2 friends (that I travel with, so I book the cruises for us, using my rates, because they never get them), and none of them have the offers. Make sure you are logged in and put the dates from Jan to Mar in the drop down and if you have them, the prices will show up.
 
I didn't get any kind of email, nor do these say casino rate. I cruise a lot, 8 last year, 6 scheduled this year, actually 7 because I just booked the SF Hawaiian). And yes, I do spend some time in the casino, but my budget is $20 a day, so that shouldn't give me these kinds of rates. I don't care where the ship goes as long as it leaves from SF. I do the same itinerary over and over and have for 10 years, that's how we cruise. We don't need to get off the ship, the ship has everything we need.
 
This is a SEVERE YOUR MILAGE MAY VARY! No guarantees you'll have the offer, but if you do and if you can go. Why not at these rates.

Well, I sent the email about stock onboard yesterday for the March 12 Hawaiian and it was credited this morning.  That's another $250 in onboard to go with the FCD of $75.  $325 onboard.  $710 total inside for a 15 day cruise, that's for 2 people, both, not each! 

 

And I added princess plus after booking, so I see a lot of specialty dining in our future.

I got much higher fares which I clicked on your links.  But when I click on the ones from the same email that I received it yields the lower fares even when I'm not logged in which is odd.  I've posted the link for the Hawaii cruise below.  Low fares go up to mini suites and Plus or Premier aren't options with these fares although I don't know if they would be able to add that separately either at the time of booking or onboard.

I added plus after paying.  Really easy to do on the princess website, just a click and entering a credit card.

Good to hear that it is possible to add it and not prohibited!

Even before they added the button, any TA, PVP or princess agent could add the plus package.  We've taken advantage of it several times when the base fare was really low, but with plus added at original booking, it brought the price up to an unbargain.  

 

Which ones are you joining me on?  BAHAHAHA!

Oh I wish!  We have a trip at the end of February already planned so we sadly may have to pass this round 😞  Enjoy your cruise!

We booked 2 of them.  Jan 31 and March 12.  I already had a B2B in April.  All out of SF, so minimal travel.  

 

Come on, you know you want to.

I am assuming you would need to be a past passenger of Princess already to come close to getting these offers. We are platinum on Carnival but I know that they don't cross over. I would be ready to book a couple of these since my husband has vacation he needs to use asap.

We always said when we retired we would book Drop and Go cruises for the great pricing. Nope. We always have cruises or land vacations planned ahead of time and haven't done a single Drop and Go booking at all.

DH said yesterday that what he’s doing this year, booking last minute cruises, is as close as he’ll ever get to what people who live in California and Florida can do all the time. He booked Wednesday to cruise Sunday. In his case, having a lot of Southwest points definitely helps, though this weekend he’s spending a night in a La Quinta to save a lot of points, but I have flights for him to come home on four different dates.

Appreciate the info. I used the link azbirdmom posted without being logged in and did see the $100 deal. Went through the option screens but when it came time to log in, the price tripled with some note saying I don't qualify. What started out as a really good deal ended up being no deal at all. Then again, one source says it's sold out. Boo! I was looking forward to saying Aloha!

I booked the March 2 15-Day Hawaiian aboard the Crown. $800 (not including taxes and vacation protection) for a balcony. I haven't been to Hawaii since 2005 (Island Princess), so I'm really looking forward to this trip.

Every single link shows... "You are viewing search results with a casino discount." 😞
