Pretty sure you are seeing a "casino offer".  Everybody will not see this.

Nope not how my casino offers look.  I was looking at cruises last night without signing in and everything was priced at zero.

Nah. It's a glitch.

 

It displays a price when you move through the booking to the cabin selection stage.

Oops my bad, sorry!

So I had to login to see that price.  I decided to do a mock booking just to see what the final price would be.  I knew I would have to pay the port and tax fees, but what is the Comp Cabin Deposit?  I understand deposits, but this one is different and one I've never seen before.

Did anyone book it?

Actually it does appear bookable contrary to my post above. The price is displayed after cabin selection, but it goes on to explain that the comp cabin deposit is refunded to OBC making the total fare equal to taxes/port fees.

This is the new booking for casino cruises. Check what you have available in your personalizer. It was supposed to be finalized by the end of the month.

It’s a comp casino cruise

Ahhhh I should have read the WHOLE sentence....I got as far as non refundable and then stopped.  That does explain what I saw as far as OBC once I clicked on the View applied promos link.  Thanks for clarifying that for me.

I'm still confused... folks here are saying it's a casino offer, but honestly I don't gamble that much. I mean, I think my total coin in and table play last cruise amounted to around $400 or so playing slots and $5-$10 hands of blackjack. Hardly a whale...

I am by no means a high roller and have only been on one Princess cruise back in 2016, but I still can book under the casino rates that seem to be the same rates that others post on here.  Getting ready to take my 2nd Princess cruise on the Discovery next month where I was able to get a mini-suite for $599 cruise fare using casino rate.

It’s a mystery the selection process. 
I had a free casino cruise in a Verandah Balcony on Holland comped and I was only on 2 other HAL and gambled $100 

It’s Random.

For the past few years I have received multiple offers from Carnival for free or dirt-cheap cruises (British isles for $100.00?!), and I am not a gambler, and they were not gambling offers.

 

I think that they just want to get bodies on the cruise ships, and then they hope you will spend enough on board to make it worth it.

 

Unfortunately, most of the dates clashed with our work schedules.  Also, I have pets, so I can never leave and go anywhere last minute--I have to make sure I can get the dogs into the kennel.  

 

Yes, there are many great offers if one searches around, is not too picky, and can travel anytime. 

Hopefully some day I can take advantage of those kinds of cruise experiences!

[Thrak]

Sigh... Not there for me. Poop.

[memoak]

This is a casino offer. You can get casino rates without gambling all that much but the free play is usually dependent on how much you gamble

[JimmyVWine]

At the rate being charged, wouldn't Passengers 3 and 4 do better by just booking their own cabin? 🤣

They were definitely working on the website last night.  A cruise my friends were looking at was available during the day but not at night.  Today a balcony 12 day British isles cruise also had bad prices with some being zero for some categories

Yep it's the new interface for booking casino comps.  And I would strongly recommend not booking these yourself just yet.  It's a mess....

Yep according to some of the forums I am on people are booking themselves.  I'll wait until I find out how the whole thing works with FP and PP.

No $0 for me either.  Princess and HAL don't want my donations and I will take my gambling money to Carnival and Royal (since they know how to send offers to people who actually gamble).

[cruisequeen4ever]

Congrats on the nearly free cruise!

[disneyochem]

I am also holding off on booking online.  Some of my offers include the Princess Plus package as well as a lot more free play.  Don’t see that reflected when I try to do a mock booking.
