Princess Black Friday

I for one would enjoy a Princess Black Friday sale, hosted at all U.S. Princess cruise terminals (Ft. Lauderdale, Houston, Galveston, San Pedro, Whittier, San Francisco, Seattle, Honolulu, NYC... did I miss any?).

We would line up for deals like this:

• 1st person: free cruise, up to $1299
  
• 2nd-10th: $250 off future cruise booking
  
• 11th-50th: $100 onboard cruise credit
  
• 51st-100th: free beverage package
  
• 101st+: free photo

I couldn't make it this year since I'm sailing tomorrow, but maybe in 2016!

I will stick with the underwhelming Cyber Week Deals. :rolleyes:

Dream on!

I agree Princess needs to step up their Black Friday Game. I wouldn't mind waiting in line to get a good deal for Princess. Better than the table saw I got last year on Black Friday that I haven't used since. I would even get in line Thanksgiving at 5 pm if I had a shot at a free cruise!! :):)

Keep dreaming.

Hi All

Got a Black Friday mail shot from Princess

looks like may be 20% of selected cruises out of uk

yours Shogun

The special they started last night was a joke. Free soda package for 3rd and 4th person (children only) only in a stateroom. That eliminated all of us who sail 2 in a stateroom AND would anyone really be enticed to book a cruise if their kids were getting a soda package?

I couldn't line up for Princess anyway. I've been camped outside Best Buy for a couple of weeks now.

That's the best "toy" store!

In line for the TV? Good luck!

Big letdown :(

A TV? Hello, I'm scoring an iPad for $100 off.

Just as a point of interest, Princess doesn't sail out of Galveston, Honolulu or Whittier, or at least they don't show those ports as active on the current (2015-2017) cruises on the website.

More importantly, Princess only has U.S. staff who actually sell cruises in Los Angeles and Seattle. Where on earth would they even do this at the ports?

They would never, but never, do this at the ports... this one of the main reasons OP has been told to keep dreaming.

You're right about Galveston and Honolulu. Anchorage = Whittier, which is a departure port. Out of curiousity, I searched the Princess website and found this:

I've never sailed out of Galveston before, but Houston on numerous occassions.

I've sailed into Honolulu multiple times, but never as a departure port. I can't recall them sailing out of Honolulu but then again I've never searched for a trip from Hawaii. Has anyone sailed out of Honolulu in the past on Princess?

The Tahitian Princess used to routinely do a Tahiti to Honolulu route or vice versa along with a few other routes.

Princess also used to use Galveston as a cruise port before Houston.
