Free Stuff

Have you gotten anything free on your cruise? If yes how many cruises did it take and what did you receive?

Yes, a Blue Tote Bag and a piece of chocolate on my pillow every night. :D

Beautiful sunrises, sunsets, laughter, great sleep, peace! 🌅

March 2017 cruise on the Royal we received free dinner at Crown Grill for DW birthday

Our 50th cruise with Princess received a good quality bottle of Champagne, bouquet of flowers,chocolate covered strawberries, huge bowl of fruit(the fancy one that the suites get) and recognition at the Captain's Circle party.

That was this past January.

Other free items, the Treasure hunt drawing, won on several cruises. Two coffee cards, bouquet of flowers, $50.00 gift cert. in gift shop,etc. among other things.

Couple of T-shirts

Since our 20th Princess cruise, we have gotten OBC every cruise. It started at $25 and is now (43 cruises) up to $75. It is based on the number of cruise credits. In our case, cruise credits and cruises are the same. Those who sail in suites or solo, will pick up extra cruise credits.

The only free cheese is in the mousetrap.

Just the usual loyalty level freebies.

If you had to pay for the cruise? Then nothing was free.:D :D :D.

Upgraded travel insurance on your next cruise after completing your 3rd cruise or 30 days.

Free internet mins on your next cruise after completing your 5th cruise or 50 days.

Free laundry on your next cruise after completing your 15th cruise or 150 days.

And some other things. Check out the Princess Captain's Circle benefits on the Princess web site.

Inexpensive game prizes, some useful, some not.

Trivia wins get you Princess trinkets (plus the fun of meeting other cruisers).

One guy in a group of 50 I was travelling with jumped in the pool fully clothed to get a free bottle of champagne.

Knowing the type of champagne they give people it's hardly worth the trouble.:(

We won of their bottles one time & after opening it at table no one would take a second glass. (myself included)

Where is this stated in Princess's website? We are booked on our 20th cruise and do not see this in our personalizer. All of our other OBC is listed.

Yes, you could probably strip paint with the cheap stuff. It's OK with enough OJ mixed in for Mimosas.

Our "freebie" was winning 22 bottles of the "paint thinner" doing the ring toss on a B2B. There were four of us and NO ONE else would show up to the competitions. It was only a one liner in the patter and often held early afternoon on port days. They would bring out 3 or 4 bottles and we just kept tossing until we won them all. This of course has been changed to a single bottle prize with many guests competing in the main IC area. The chance of winning one now is not very likely. It was truly a freebie if you could manage to choke it down.

I think it's the same stuff they use for the waterfall.

Free OBC for my military service and stockholder OBC, as well as free OBC from our big box TA. :D

A nice bottle of wine and a couples massage for having to deal with joggers at all hours on the deck above - the thundering herd.

Agree with Tony! :D

You receive a card in your cabin it's for being a loyal passenger. You have to complete 20 cruises and then you will receive the $25. On the 21 first cruise.

Free Stuff, I'm guessing you are talking about stuff not guaranteed by loyalty status or winnings. We have received quite a bit over the years, most nice gestures. T-Shirts, drinks, flowers, three ceramic ship models, free pictures, three or four Special dining, many bottles of wine, many many Captain's tables, wine tastings, ship/bridge tours, other trinkets, swag and crap. Some of the items were related to "knowing" staff members, some because we were in the right place at the right time, still others are because I'm sooooo good looking.:D

Spot on analogy.....:D:D:D
