UK cruisers

[crows nest club]

Just heads up to UK cruisers regarding an e mail we received from Princess yesterday.

 

Apparently from 20 December they are offering their 'Best.Sale Ever". There will be an add-on all inclusive offer of the Premurm Drinks Package . Unlimited free wi fi  and paid gratuities for £35 p p.d. This will be available as an add-on to already 1500  booked cruises with no loss of any benefits already accrued.

Saw this all over social media yesterday. Looks like a good deal. Is it confirmed that it can be added to already booked cruises or would we need to pay the usual £50 per person re-fare fee?

Sounds a bargain

I didn't read it as cruises that have already been booked.  I thought it was for new bookings.  It would be great if it was for already booked.

I've spoken to my TA and they have confirmed it can be added to existing bookings that are over 90 days away. Also there are no £50 p.p. admin. charges. Just extra add on. Its not for new bookings only.  I'm only getting good vibes from the TA as a great offer.

Yes, me too.

I rang Princess as someone on another forum had said you had to get it before final payment was due. Wanted clarification as we have paid in full and wanted to be sure that although we have paid our cruise we would still be able to get this offer we are 170 days out. The Princess representative on the phone said as long as it is booked before 90 days it doesn’t matter if you have paid the balance as long as you book the promotion before 90 days till your cruise.

I am interested in 3 cruises and have priced them today.

Let's see if there is any increase on the price on the 20th of December 

Waiting patiently!

I think one of the benefits of this offer is the fact that it can be added to an existing booking with no loss of any accrued benefits and no £50 p.p admin charge.

[downsmead]

Thank you, I hadn’t appreciated how good this offer was. I have only just booked a cruise and so will add this when it becomes available. 👍
 

[crows nest club]

Bump for those who missed it.  

[PAMJP]

I have just spoken to Princess about this offer too. I wanted to ask about internet free minutes for different loyalty levels. I wasn’t surprised that if our cruise was eligible we would not be credited with those free minutes.  Let’s hope our cruise is one of the lucky ones next year 2020, done some Maths and looks very good! 

[tiggertom]

Unfortunately we will be 80 days out on 20/12 when this offer applies. I have read the T&Cs and can’t find anything about it so I don’t think we can benefit....

[downsmead]

There is a list of all the eligible cruises on another post, if people want to check.

Likewise, with the last couple of sales prices have gone and availability massaged.

 

When they had the “free cabin upgrade” offer the price on my cruise went up £200 pp, only to come down again as soon as the offer finished.

 

With the Black Friday sale the cabin class I wanted was shown as sold out, I could have cried, so started booking another trip. The next day, the 3 cabins were available again.😡

As some of you have probably noticed, the BSE offer has already started on 11 December in the USA. It's been interesting  to read the comments regarding their offer Apparently they can choose eithe

1) Premier  Drinks, paid gratuities and unlimited Wi-Fi 

2) Drinks + gratuities 

or

3) Drinks and Wi-Fi 

The 3 offer is the full quoted price but there is a reduction pppd for only two choices. 

 

Wonder if we in UK will get s similar choice on the 20th?
