Hi all,  I know some people have asked about this promotion.  My TA told me today that it will start Sept 4. Just wanted to share with anyone who might be waiting.

 

Thanks...that’s the day after the Landmark Sale ends.

 

There aren’t any details yet on the website but if like previous years it should be available soon.  Hopefully it’s the same 3 benefits as in recent years...free tips, OBC & cabin category upgrade with a refundable deposit. 🙂

I thought the current sale ended Sept. 9th.

That’s a different overlapping offer that promotes rates up to 40% off plus a room upgrade.

 

Here’s the valid dates for the Landmark Sale:  “Offer valid: July 18 – September 3, 2019 on voyages in this sale only”.

Thanks but this has been mentioned previously.  Wed after Labor Day and after Landmark ends.

Thanks.  We were kind of expecting this to be offered. For us, this promotion has consistently been the best value for our cruising.

3FF results in our best net price with no other sale being better for us.

 

Sometimes there’s a non-sale drop in price that results in a lower net price than 3FF so I continue to check prices.

3 for FREE (9/3 – 10/31)

Hmm - similar to last year for the most part except that it says the deposit is non refundable.  That is a first for the 3 For Free sale.

Wonder if it’s like the Landmark Sale’s NR deposit where it’s been posted several times that by contacting a TA or Princess there was a refundable deposit booking code not shown in the promotional material...hopefully it’s also so for 3FF. 🤞

Not sure it'll beat my current promo on PNW 3/29/20. I've got 200 IBC + specialty dining.  This would be 100 OBC + Gratuities.  Maybe the room upgrade will be helpful

I spoke to my vacation planner this week and he indicated that Princess is going the route of non-refundable deposits on all promotions.

Bummer,

 

I hope that they reconsider that action.  I really don't like, nor do I book a non-refundable deposit.  Booking after final payment is a different story.

That's very disappointing.  Does Princess now believe this will fill ships?  Well, perhaps, if the actual fares were more favorable.  Not seeming good fares of late.

I agree completely.  Maybe with enough feedback or reduction in bookings they will reconsider.

Am I right in that the OBC offered isn't as high as it has been in the past? We got $600 for the two of us for our veranda cabin on our upcoming 2020 cruise and I think that was from a 3FF booking.
