We're first time cruisers (February 2015) and we got a pretty good deal through "Share the Savings" which seems like some kind of enhanced referral program:

- $25 off the price of the cruise per person for referral. $50 saved

- Same booking price as the person who invited us ($125 less than advertised price). $250 saved.

- $100 OBC per person.

Nothing wrong with that... It's a 10 day cruise, so that OBC essentially pays the daily gratuity which we would have otherwise needed to cover!

Thank you so much for that review! We are accustomed to good coffee and probably wouldn't like the syrup blend too much.

Coffee cards it is, plus I hear that on the Royal it's also usable for gelato. I'm sure my dear wife (Mrs. Sweet Tooth) won't mind that. Chances are she'll end up using the punches on my card. lol

iMessage needs either a data network (4G, 3G, etc.) or internet-enabled wifi in order to work.

If neither are available, it will send an SMS message through whatever cell carrier you can connect with.

The pastry section of the Horizon Court is also open 24 hours.

I'd say! Wow, I have to try. That's some really good savings when you look at the exchange rate right now! Thanks a lot for developing on that.

To chime in, I also have never seen a Canada based TA that offers lower prices than the Princess website.

Does anyone know of one?

Yes. You can add OBC at anytime. I just did $425 and was charged in CAD not USD so i saved about $40 if not more depending on exchange that day! :D

Last time I called to inquire about pre-paying OBC, I was told that it would be charged in USD on my CC because all transactions on board of the ship are in USD.

If there's a specific person to contact or a way to get it done, I'd really like to know!

Must be nice to have problems like these. All I can afford is an interior cabin. :(

Yes, it would cost you around 4K to buy in. I got "lucky" and bought mine the monday after the Costa Concordia wreck for $29 and change....

 

Right now the stock is doing quite well, so it will cost you.....

I can't see ourselves going on a cruise more than every couple of years for now. We have 2 young boys and that represents a pretty significant sum, so maybe later if we decide to cruise on a regular we'll look into that.

Thanks for confirming, though, I appreciate you chiming in!

I don't know if I searched right, but I saw the share value for Carnival Corp at $40 and some change each.

Did I do this wrong or is a $4000 investment needed to get in on this? Do they accept kids as payment? :P

Thanks for your help everyone, I also drink most white wines, but I have a real soft spot for Prosecco.

I can't wait to be on the Royal, this is our first cruise ever and it's gonna be amazing!

Would any of you know if Vines serves Prosecco (italian bubbly)?

It's about the only kind of alcoholic beverages I enjoy, but I can't see it featured anywhere... :P
