Rare gottagocit Posted September 10, 2017 #4 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Do you know which voyages or regions are in this one or perhaps it'll be for all voyages in this coming fall and spring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare donswife Posted September 10, 2017 #5 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Sounds like Sun Drenched savings sale with a new name, however it doesn't say whether the deposit is nonrefundable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffeeluvr05 Posted September 11, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Do you know which voyages or regions are in this one or perhaps it'll be for all voyages in this coming fall and spring? Yes, but I don't know how to post it here. It doesn't look like ALL itineraries are included. My upcoming trip in November isn't included. There are LOTS that are though.

That's what it appears to be to me but hopefully it'll be beneficial to some passengers. I found a flyer with a couple of examples & hopefully it's viewable. https://book.princess.com/pdf/onesource/pc/sales_marketing/Promotions%20&%20LTO/PC_GE_StartsSoon_e-flyer%2008-2017%20-%20US.PDF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caribill Posted September 11, 2017 #10 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Looks like this sale includes all cruises until the cruises start to be covered under the Three for Free sale which covers cruises from Summer 2018 on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunny2runner Posted September 11, 2017 #11 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Looking to book a November (Thanksgiving) cruise this year and will be holding off to till tomorrow to see if these cruises we are considering will be covered under the new sale price. Fingerscrossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Island wannabe Posted September 11, 2017 #13 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Here is the fare chart. I hope this works... Thanks very much for this. Disappointing to me as I was waiting for this sale, but my Feb Regal cruise is the same price (within a couple of dollars) that I paid under the sun drenched "sale" . Since final payment isn't until December, I am hoping there could be a great post-Thanksgiving sale or a cyber-Monday sale. Hopefully it is a good deal for others though.

Rare ceilidh1 Posted September 12, 2017 #15 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Here is the fare chart. I hope this works... What is TFPE in the last column? Looks like the price of my booked cruises didn't change, unless TFPE is 3rd person, which is less than what we have right now, if so??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ceilidh1 Posted September 12, 2017 #17 Share Posted September 12, 2017 It was recently defined as:Taxes, Fees, Port Expense Ooooohhhhh.....makes sense! Thanks! Looks like the "sale" isn't really a sale then...at least not for my cruises! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean s Posted September 12, 2017 #18 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Just checked my February cruise and it was more expensive than when I booked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunny2runner Posted September 12, 2017 #19 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Checked all the cruises that I have been watching and these new cruise prices don't affect the price any differently. In addition, the sun drenched pricing is still in effect through tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdngrl Posted September 12, 2017 #20 Share Posted September 12, 2017 on the website i clicked on 'great escapes' sale and what came up were cruises with the 'sun drenched' sale logo, so i agree: same sale, different name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My recent experiences have been that such "sales" are mostly adding a name to their standard prices. Some passengers may get a lower price but now price drops outside of promotions for my cruises are nonexistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro Flyer Posted September 12, 2017 #23 Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) I just booked a b2b with the 3 for 3 for March 2019 (same as I have in 2018) some very good deals We also booked Spring 2019 cruises (also Fall 2017/Summer 2018) with 3 for Free. But promotions such as Great Escape & Sun Drenched haven't been good for our cruises. Recently the 3 for Free has easily provided our best net cost which is valid in all types of cabins.

I was under the impression that 3 for Free were only applicable to balcony cabins and above? You say that is not always the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Flyer Posted September 12, 2017 #25 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I was under the impression that 3 for Free were only applicable to balcony cabins and above? You say that is not always the case? Every year I've booked using 3 for Free it included all types of cabin. The recently ended S+S was for balcony or higher types of cabin. We rebooked our June 2018 obstructed oceanview cabin...lower fare with OBC & free tips. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
