We camp in our absolutely huge "big rig". I do the cooking and she does the dishes. It's a queen sized bed on wheels with my kitchen stuff in the hatch on the back. Sort of like a cruise ship only completely different. ;p

I love your teardrop trailer! My hubby always refuse to consider one of those, since he's tall and said he wouldn't have enough room. But I always thought they were great. We do a lot of camping.

Are you not seeing a "View Offers" line under the fare amounts? There aren't any banners up yet on the website.

 

When I log into the Princess website and look up the cruise I saved, I don't see the offers link under the prices. But when I use your link, I can see it. As usual the website is still a work in progress!

I sooooooooooooooooooooo love being retired! The income isn't all that great compared to working but we have pretty much zero in the way of bills so we just spend everything. Two of my kids make more money than we ever did and the third needs to get her stuff together. Nobody is inheriting anything or even getting the house. ;p

We have GOT to be on the same cruise someday. That's exactly our plan right down to the number of kids, the kid's circumstances and our $$/house.

The only thing that's different is ours are all boys. And we've been married 50 years.;)

Just trying to be totally optimistic, I called Princess to see if you could exchange the premier beverage package for OBC instead. She spoke to Supervisor and help desk and the answer given to me was "No." So if someone gets a "yes" answer, let us know!

If you are not a big drinker check out the Princess Saver Fare (ask for Rate Code KRA)

Hundreds less than Sip & Sail (Rate Code N6A) on a 7 nighter, more on longer ones.

 

Does the saver fare have a non refundable deposit? The cruise I'm looking at has a massive difference in fare depending on the deposit.

Just re-fared Mexican Riviera for S&S, no increase in price and i kept my FCD OBC of $50.

 

I wish there was an option for DH to exchange his S&S for OBC, but i'll stick with this promo unless 3-for-Free comes back later this year with a better deal. But with having to replace the price of a PBP at $69/day for 10 days plus a Soda&More for DH, i'll be surprised if 3-for-Free is better even with the included gratuities. Since we are already in a Suite, it's really only 2-for-Free anyway because the upgrade does not apply.

Never heard of a "Saver Fare".:o

Could you explain?

Is it available all the time??

 

 

It is a Princess Past Guest Rate

Not always available.

TA's can book it via their POLAR system

Not sure that you can see it @ Princess Online but you certainly ask for it by calling Princess.

10% Refundable Deposit on the 2019/20 cruises that I checked on.

Comes with no OBC just lower rates for Balcony & Above.

Noticed that this S&S sale does not include a specialty dinner which was included the last 2 years (at least with mini and full suites)

The S&S on our cruise last year only included the single speciality dining that is standard for all suites.

This sounds like something a local TA offered me. It was a fare that was about $1400 less (for two) that had zero perks. It could be great for someone who doesn’t need the perks. I booked a few days ago during the big TA’s 3 day sale that included sip &sail AND free grats. Those are worth almost $2500 so it outweighs the savings from the other TA.

They did have that last year if you booked within the first few weeks or something of the sip & sale if I recall correctly.

Yes I have it on my cruise in November 2018 - S&S and dinner. Not so for 2019 October cruise. Both are for CC Mini Suites.

I lost my casino rate when I flipped to S&S but the difference means I am getting the drink package for $28 per person per day beats $69 all to heck.I would pass $28 well before dinner or possibly by lunch.

For my cruise to Alaska in 2019 the price is higher and I'll lose my OBC.

higher than yesterday or higher than when you booked.

 

I was able to add the Sip and Sail to both our cabins without a cost change for our June 2019 Alaska Cruise Tour. I booked about 6 months ago and I checked the prices yesterday. No price changes for the Landmark or S&S.

 

This was my same experience the last time I booked the S&S. From a sample of my two, Princess does not increase the cruise price for this promotion, so it is a real promotion.

It is a great day. I just had my travel agent switch 3 cruises and 1 cruise-tour to the Sip & Sail promotion. I kept the original fare that I had booked under for all of them. The cost of the premium beverage packages for the wife and I for these cruises would be $5,933.13 if I had to purchase them.

I'm disappointed that I was able to get the drink package added to 2 of my cruises but I don't drink. They said no OBC was offered at this time. I have the elite/ suite perk mini bar which gets me 40 diet cokes and the suite comes with 2 bottles of water daily. Wasted $2000 on a 15 day cruise.

How did you waste $2000, if it was added for free? If you don't drink the package includes bottled water, specialty coffee, smoothies, fountain sodas and more.
