Poulsbo Cruisers Posted September 1, 2016 #6 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I've been waiting to book a September 2017 Mediterranean cruise to take advantage of the three for free promotion. Today the prices went up in all categories for this cruise by $100 pp. Nothing is really free anymore. That $200 increase pays for the $200 obc being offered. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That $200 increase pays for the $200 obc being offered. :eek: Book it now with a travel agent that doesn't charge rebooking/change fees, and then have them re-fare your trip when the sale comes along. That way you can get the cabin you want, and the price you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare curlybelle2 Posted September 1, 2016 #8 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I thought the 3 for free sale was starting today but there is nothing on Princess web site. I must have the dates wrong. Does it start on 9/1 or 9/6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zooguy Posted September 1, 2016 #10 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I bought a Panama Canal cruise last night and got the Sip and Sale. Today sip and sale is gone and the fare has increased $50 pp. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzyn8 Posted September 1, 2016 #11 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I actually just got off the phone with someone at Princess Cruise Travel Planning, and the new promo (3 for free) starts on Tuesday 9/6. Here's the highlights: 1. Paid gratuities for guests 1 and 2 per room 2. Free in-class room upgrade (forward balcony to midship balcony, for example) 3. Free OBC (cruises 6 days or longer only) 4. Reduced deposit of $100 pp. Promo is scheduled to run until Nov 16, but it sounds like a "while supplies last" sort of thing, because the person I talked to said it might end early.

getaway101 Posted September 1, 2016 #17 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I put a Window Suite cabin on hold with the Beverage package until today because I thought the new sale started today. When I went to Princess to check the prices, the Window Suite had gone up $600... with NO perks :eek: Needless to say we kept the other price and promotion and booked it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plan09 Posted September 1, 2016 #18 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Sacto Rick- the Sip n Sail said summer 2017 but my April 2017 did qualify so I guess you just have to wait and hope. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they mention sail dates or is it only certain sailings? They didn't specify, but the cruise I was talking to them about is not until Nov 2017, and they didn't say anything about that not qualifying. The way I understand it for this promo, it's the deposit/booking date that matters, not necessarily the cruise date. It looks like others have posted more detailed info, however.

amypete Posted September 1, 2016 #21 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I just looked at the cruise we booked yesterday to grab the Sip & Sail before it went away. Price is up $134 PP with no Sip & Sale. I had looked yesterday and it was still there ---- gone today and also up about the same amount. Glad I did the S & S! We will truly being sipping and sailing regardless! There are no specials associated with it at all today. Limbo land for promotions I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopsymillar Posted September 1, 2016 #23 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Hi, I am in the UK and have a Scandinavian cruise booked for May 2017. The price of my cruise has gone down £600 today. Even losing the $180 obc that would be quite a saving. There seems to be different promotions offered in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted September 1, 2016 #24 Share Posted September 1, 2016 My 2018 booking shows the same price I got with the Sip n Sail. My 2017 28 day cruise now shows as $300 pp more than I got it with the Sip n Sail. I'll wait for the 3 For Free to book my next cruise. I can't wait until October of next year for a cruise...

I am wondering if we would have to choose between the Princess OBC and our AmEx Platinum OBC. Sure would be nice to have both.
