I just received an email from Princess informing me that we can book the 15 day TA from Southampton to Fort Lauderdale in September for $199.00 for an interior and $398.00 for a balcony. The promo is Sail and Play the promo code is ULC and the campaign code is PE7MD110. First come, first served basis. I went directly to the Princess website and yes it is legit. Also, Princess Air is about $1000.00 less than booking direct! Gonna have to think quickly about this one!

 

Thank you thank you---we've been looking at this cruise for awhile waiting for prices to go down. The only cabins left were on deck 9 in the front inside so we took it. I really wanted a balcony but at this price we'll take an inside

Thanks for posting. I didn't get the email but did call. They said that it was capacity controlled and no longer showing as available at the promo price. Oh well.

 

For all of those who were able to get that promo price, enjoy your cruise. :D

 

Just to better understand, did anyone who didn't get the email get to book the promo?

I also received the email. I put an interior room on hold before they sold out. I probably should have gone for the balcony, lol. I was in such a hurry to book SOMETHING.

Apparently not. My TA tried to get the promo for me and several of her other clients who called her inquiring (after reading the initial post here) . . to no avail. I was sick.

Topics like this make CC so valuable .

A deal like this would have opened & closed without

others knowing anything about it [emoji3]

I posted it here as soon as I received the email early this afternoon. Unfortunately, lots of people were not able to take advantage of it because it came and went so quickly. Congrats to those who managed to get it! Last week someone posted the promo of $150.00 OBC for Canadians and I got it added to my cruise. My turn to pay it forward!

I contacted my TA with the info "The promo is Sail and Play the promo code is ULC and the campaign code is PE7MD110."

I was told it was a casino offer. I was not eligible. :')

I guess I better take up gambling!

It's quite funny because if I drop $50 in the casino on a cruise that would be a lot.

I called Princess. It IS a casino offer, so you have to actually get the email in order to use the offer. It IS capacity controlled, and it IS already sold out. In one day. :(

 

It actually sold out in one afternoon.

It is out there as available now. I got the email on Thursday and by the time I looked that evening the balconies were sold out but inside were available. I hesitated too long to decide and then the insides were sold out. Just out of curiosity I looked again Friday morning and the insides were there again for $199. I put a hold on one then. Later in the morning they showed sold out again. Looked again this morning and more insides are available, on more decks, front and back of the ship, and you can pick your room. When I put a hold on one yesterday they were only in the front of the ship, and had to take a guarantee. Basically, you need to check again and often. AND, don't just take the price you see at the beginning of the booking process. The $199 shows up as you get into the cabin selection area. Good luck!

We had just dropped our daughter off at airport and wife went in to help her so I went and parked and checked my email. There it was. I had to read it 3 times before I could believe it. Email arrived at 10:48 Mountain time. Wife came out about 5 minutes later, I showed her and we didn’t even leave the parking lot and called our TA.

 

We had quite a hold time getting our TA so I surfed Princess’s site for rooms while wife surfed for flights. We almost always book interior cabins and our favorite is Deck 14, rear. That is where I first looked and there were 8 cabins to choose from. I clicked on balconies back there and there were approximately 12-15 I would say. We decided for $400 more we would do a balcony. (Actually only $350 more when we used our future cruise credits and the extra $50 you get for booking Balconies over interior)

 

By the time the TA answered and got ahold of Princess, the balcony cabins in the eligible categories were sold down to guarantee. We got a BE guarantee. Hope it is at the rear.

 

Cheapest flights my wife could see were $1358 from Boise to LHR one way only. So we had the TA check Princess EZ air and about fell out of the car when they quoted $500.98 each round trip from Boise. Heck, no flights are cheap out of Boise. We jumped all over that, first time using Princess air reservations.

 

We bought Princess transfers from LHR to Southampton. Total price for 15 day cruise in a balcony, port fees/taxes, transfers, airfare $2206 from Boise. Cheapest cruise we have ever been on. With $525 OBC, we can pay the gratuities and have money left over.

I just counted rooms. There are 115 interior cabins to choose from, 29 Ocean view, 90 balcony rooms you can book left, 48 minis left and 3 full suites.

I just counted Balcony rooms you can book and there are still 90 left. Lots of mini's left and 3 full suites.

 

That is so wonderful! Glad you could work it out. I'm jealous! Lol

Enjoy.
