Has Princess Helped Your Rebooking When You Had An Awesome Deal Before

[Goldsmegame]

My husband and I have never stayed in a mini suite or a suite.  Last year while sailing on the Princess Caribbean, I managed to get an amazing rate for a window suite for the 14 day sailing leaving May 9th 2020 on the Princess Caribbean.  Basically it was $1900 per person for the two weeks plus we received a $300 onboard credit as part of the deal.  I told my husband that I had booked our next cruise, but I planned to keep the suite a surprise. (We often book our next cruise while on the ship, so fortunately he didn’t ask any questions.)  We would be celebrating our 33rd anniversary, and so a suite would have been extra special.  
 

. In addition to the $300 onboard credit from Princess, we also had a  $550 casino credit Promo offer.  Closer to final payment, I transferred the booking to Costco and they were giving us an onboard credit of $265.  So those credits coupled with the other usual credits you get i.e. future cruise deposit credits and stock ownership, credits, we were “sitting pretty”.  And, the best part for me was looking forward to seeing  the surprise reaction on my husband‘s face when he realized we had a suite.   I spent much time learning about the nice perks which included club class dining, free specialty meal, and main dining room service menus.  You can tell, I was excited and proud of myself.  Yes, I’m slightly having a pity party! Please forgive me!

 

 I have not yet had luck getting through on the phones to Princess, and the current prices on the their website seem higher.  Sadly, I’m not optimistic that I will see such a deal again on a suite.  I have two questions. For those of you who possibly  had a similar situation and have rebooked through Princess, were you  able to get a similar deal?  Also, are we able to use our option 1 future cruise credit on two separate cruises instead of just one?  While I won’t be receiving enough of a credit to put us back in a suite room and still give us all the onboard credit we were going to receive, getting to go one two cruises instead of one  would make  me feel a little better about losing the suite trip.

 

Sorry for such a long post!

I think they will only give you a Future Cruise Credit (FCC).  The deal is up to you.  I could be wrong.

We moved our booking from May to September and lost $1200 OBC.  Yes I was a bit annoyed but we're still going, we hope!

You will be rebooking under whatever promo is applicable at the time.  If you do it now, you can take the "no frills" option or pay more to get internet, gratuities, and drinks included.  As for your casino credit, I was able to get them to move my free play from the cancelled cruise to one that we had booked for October.  After you book a new cruise, fill out the information here https://oceanplayersclub.com/contact/ for that cruise.  In the comments, ask them if they could move the free play from your cancelled cruise (including booking number) to your new cruise.  As I said, they were amenable to doing that for me and hopefully their policies stay the same.
