Lucky TGO Posted October 5, 2016 #26 Share Posted October 5, 2016 50 or 75 Cruises I have a chance of getting there. Five or six hundred days ?? I think I will be in the Concert Condo first :eek: :eek: Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pris993 Posted October 5, 2016 #27 Share Posted October 5, 2016 The shortest cruise we ever took was 7 days... but when we started cruising all the lines counted was cruises not days...we have been cruising since the l980s...on 9 different lines.... so the issue regarding days or cruises is funny to me... my dh and I have taken every cruise together... Princess credits him with more days than me... so that says a lot about how accurate the records are... As I read the tread, I guess I would love to get credit for still cruising at an advanced age just kidding :D we love to cruise. Princess rewards are better than any of the other lines we have been on recently. I think we have 23 cruises with Princess... so we have a long way to go.

floridalover5623 Posted October 5, 2016 Author #30 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Previous threads have said that the Sabatini's breakfast was for the 75, 100, etc cruise credit. It was not a perk for 50 There were a few people on this board who did receive breakfast but it stopped a while ago. Like you said it's only at 75 & 100. When & if we ever get there I'll make sure it a loooong cruise.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have 23 cruises with Princess... so we have a long way to go. If you like free booze between 5.00 - 8.30 pm every night of your cruise, like I do, then this perk offered by Royal Caribbean after only 80 nts cruising is a lot better than a one-off mini bar and free laundry from Princess after 150 nts cruising!

Mr Princess Posted October 5, 2016 #33 Share Posted October 5, 2016 And the price of their cruise also reflects that perk. The maths say that you would have to pay almost twice the cost for Princess cruises to comparable Royal Caribbean cruises, to qualify for each's benefits (150 nts to 80 nts). So factor that in, and shop around. MP. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mytravellove Posted October 5, 2016 #35 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Having just come back 2 weeks ago from Ruby Princess, I attended the info session for new Captain Circle members (even though I am Platinum with one more cruise to get Elite status, as most of my cruises I travel solo). It was infact very informative and the Captain Circle host did say that a) there is an additional OBC for 21 cruises and over given by Princess Cruises. b) on special 'anniversary cruises' you are given special additional perks. Her definition of special 'anniversary cruises' was cruise number 25, 50, 75 etc. Her advise to me was to ensure when I am going on my 25th cruise, to ensure that I choose a long cruise, so that this special perk was well worth it and I could enjoy it. I just have to remember it when I plan my 25th cruise. She did say this was all public information on the information they hand out at the info session.

Griller Posted October 5, 2016 #37 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Additionally, for your 50th credit cruise, you receive suite perks, which includes daily breakfast in Sabatini's, the breakfast there IMO is a great one time perk for your 50th just by it's self. This one time 50th perk IMO shows Princess's appreciation and recognition for all your past loyalty Srpilo When I reached 50 last year they told me the Sabatinis perk was for 75th cruise. Has it changed? I was going to make the 75th cruise a very long one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseKing Posted October 5, 2016 #42 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Not to make this any more challenging but I believe Princess offered the Sabatini Breakfast perk to anyone celebrating a 50th Wedding Anniversary while sailing during Princess Cruise Line 50th Anniversary last year. There may have been other perks such as suite perks but I am less certain about that. Perhaps this is where some of the different interpretations about when and what benefits are afforded to frequent floaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougH Posted October 5, 2016 #43 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Anything extra they want to offer me will be appreciated. My Dec cruise will be both my 50th cruise and 75th Cruise credit so it will be hard to tell what I was given for each. I'm averaging just a tick under 10 days per cruise and will hit 500 days next year so I earned Elite the old fashioned way, by sailing. (can't believe I thought I was hot stuff after 4-5 cruises lol) I think the system is pretty fair and love what Princess already offers, it would be nice to have another level to shoot for though. Maybe super secret Diamond Elite? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floridalover5623 Posted October 11, 2016 Author #46 Share Posted October 11, 2016 A clarification just posted on princess only dot com about the Princess Milestone Awards. Only one big change that I can see is the restaurant coupon at 100 cruises. Wow, do I have a long wait for that one unless we start booking some of those short cruises. ;) 50 Cruise Credits Mention at Captain's Circle Party Flowers Champagne 75 Cruise Credits All of the above plus breakfast in a specialty restaurant each morning for that cruise ! ! 100 Cruise Credits All of the above plus 1 specialty restaurant coupon.
