Two Princess Questions

[CruiseLurker]

I thought I heard that after my 20th Princess cruise I would receive some OBC every cruise. Is this true, if so how much?

 

 

I am getting close to elite status(11 cruise credits)... The lounge benefit is the opportunity to buy drinks for $ 5 each plus canape'. Free wine or beer? How about free soda pop?

Go to princess's website and it'll tell you all the benefits for the different captains circle levels.

 

Yes you will eventually get additional OBC. It starts at $25 and goes up to $100 per cruise.

 

But basically the answer is no to all of your questions. Almost nothing is free.

You can easily google "Princess Elite Benefits" to see the entire list. And at 11 cruises, you still have a way to go. Not worth duplicating a web site here.

 

The loyalty benefit is $25 and starts at either 30 or 35 cruises...I'm too far from that to care at the moment.

The schedule of OBC is as follows, someone will correct me if my information is no longer correct.

 

 

Cruise credits

20 to 30 = $25

31 to 40 = $50

41 to 50 = $75

51 or more = $100

$5 specific drinks in the lounge from 5:00-7:00 most nights. Even though it lists a special drink each night (I've attached the list from last week's Crown Alaska trip) you can get any on the list no matter the night. No other drinks are $5 and no drinks are free in the lounge.

 

As others have suggested, check the Princess website for the other elite benefits.

Note that the Loyalty OBC is based on cruise credits, not number of cruises. While for many they are the same, for some they are different. If you sail solo, you get an extra cruise credit. Same if you sail in a suite.

Also, loyalty OBC begins on the 21st cruise....

 

Elite benefits begin on the 16th cruise.

 

A card n the cabin will indicate which drinks are offered for $5.

 

No free pop, beer or wine, anywhere, except at the Captain Circle party.

Good luck getting there... you still need 4 cruise credit. Your benefits will begin after you've completed 15 cruise credits. That may still take a while!

You got this one right :eek: You get the $25.00 on your 21 cruise and only one per cabin if you have the same address.

Thank you for those answering these questions that aren't addressed by the Princess website.

With 13 Princess cruises(17 credits) booked in the next 14 months we will be there quite soon. Time to start retirement.

With 11 cruise credits, you have Platinum status and thus can go to the elite/platinum/suite lounge already. No need to wait until you are elite.

I don't think it's ever changed. These are the levels that have been the case all along:

 

21 - 31 cruise credits $25 onboard cabin credit

32 - 41 cruise credits $50 onboard cabin credit

42 - 51 cruise credits $75 onboard cabin credit

52+ cruise credits $100 onboard cabin credit

No my wife and I have always both received the OBC individually and we do have the same address.

Wow, lucky you....we have only received one OBC for the both of us:confused:. While I appreciate the OBC, I always thought it unfair as both of us each paid for all those cruises that got us to that level to qualify...same as with the mini-bar....just my two cents;)

My friend did too. Until Princess checked and then stopped giving it to him and his wife.
