fluffybunny22 Posted October 10, 2019 #27 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I got free dining today and all I had to do was spend 3 hours on the phone with Princess and have them royally screw up my airfare. They eventually put everything back the way it was but now every time I check to see if my air price dropped I have to see the wrong price that is double what I'm actually paying. It's unsettling. They also made me hang up with zero physical confirmation that anything was correct. But hey, free dinner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bdnclc Posted October 10, 2019 #28 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Lot of work for free dinner. I'm looking for cruise that work for schedule to take advantage of this promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Hag Posted October 10, 2019 #29 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Nice promo, but it doesn't work for any of the three I currently have booked. One's a 5 day, so it's not offered. One's a booked window suite where that category has been sold out forever. And on the last one the fare under the promo is $50 more each, so that's not attractive.

BUT, I also got 2 $32 bottles of wine, and one specialty dinner for two!!! So go in and pretend to book a cruise(just don't pay!Grin) and see if you aren't already getting the free dinner (and don't forget the wine-at $32 each Princess is quick to state!)

PRINCESS Sweet Pea Posted October 10, 2019 #31 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Has Princess added this perk for anyone without a cancellation and refare? It seems like I have heard of people getting these kind of offers added on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterluv Posted October 10, 2019 #32 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Again thanks very much. Worked with my cruise planner today and I got a small but very welcome price drop and the Specialty Dining added to my booking for April 2020 on the Sky 🥰 Beautiful!!🥳 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would check first to see if your fare went up or not to see if it pencils out. Also if there are still cabins in your category available or not (this is apparently a stipulation).

Rare foodsvcmgr Posted October 11, 2019 #34 Share Posted October 11, 2019 My Princess Cruise planner added the specialty dining to my reservation for Enchanted for 2/21 yesterday with no issues and retained original booking number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennybenny Posted October 11, 2019 #36 Share Posted October 11, 2019 On 10/5/2019 at 7:47 AM, rocklinmom said: For those of us booked with the 3 For Free or Great Escapes promos, now they are going to offer a bonus of free specialty dining. The promo starts Thursday 10/10 and goes until the 17th. It doesn't say if it is for new bookings only or if it will be refundable deposit or not. I will be checking on the 10th and also seeing what the fares do. If our fares stay the same and the deposit stays refundable (hopefully) this would be a great way to add a nice dinner at Crown Grill or Sabatini's (and it is for all guests). We were not thinking of booking a cruise in 2021, but since you posted about a 3 for free sale (even though there was just one without the specialty dining) I decided to look, and we booked a new cruise yesterday!! So nice to have something already planned for 2021!! So excited!! Thanks for the push in the right direction! 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I just had my TA rebook my cruise with the same promotion (3 for Free) and a lower price by $110 per person and the Free Specialty Dinner.

billco Posted October 12, 2019 #38 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Keep in mind if you took advantage of the recent 72 hour sale that included an EzAir discount of up to $200 on airfare, you would lose that perk if you refared to get the specialty dinner. That happened to me when I rebooked when they changed from nonrefundable to refundable deposits. Fortunately, I was able to get it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the EzAir discount was for Europe cruises and mine is in the Caribbean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckb104 Posted October 13, 2019 #40 Share Posted October 13, 2019 My Dad called the travel agent today and not only did we get the specialty dining, but our cruise fare went down by $60 each. Thanks for telling us about the dining perk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minniem Posted October 16, 2019 #48 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Thanks for letting us know about this promotion. I was able to get the dining added to two cruises i had booked under 3 for free. it only took my TA about 10 minutes to refare. We've never done Specialty Dining. We are in our 70's and don't really eat enough to justify the additional cost. So this will be a real treat. This forum is a great source of information. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is in addition to the one Speciality Dining my TA comps me on every cruise I book with her. Two comped Specialty Dining on a 7 day cruise? That’s crazy good. 👍 Not needed to cancel/refare. Bring me the 48 oz. Tomahawk ribeye steaks prepared Pittsburg style, please. 😁 Edited October 16, 2019 by Kingofcool1947 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
