Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted May 17, 2020 #1 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I for one would be thrilled to order Princess merch online right now! I know they have a small shop website, but wouldn’t it behoove them and us to put ALL of their onboard shop merch for sale on line during this time?? I’d go crazy buying up stuff! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good idea and provide discounts on the purchase of items based upon one's Captain's Circle status. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlantaCruiser72 Posted May 17, 2020 #3 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Rather than discounts for past guests I'd rather see them do this and have all proceeds go to a relief fund for crew members 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sillyjilly Posted May 18, 2020 #4 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I've seen it all before on every single cruise I have sailed. Why would I want to buy it online? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess needs to take care of their paying customers or there will be no customers. A relief fund for those of us in need would be more appropriate.

terrysko2000 Posted May 18, 2020 #6 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Great idea! Anything to help get them up and running when it’s safe to cruise again. For those waiting for your refund...I hope it comes soon. I have a refunded deposit waiting for me to book my next cruise 🙂 can’t wait! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any spare staff that can work in the on line Gift Shop can be diverted to the refund department. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how they have treated their customers who have waited way too long for their refunds, why would anyone want to enrich their coffers more by buying stuff from an on line WEB store. Maybe they should donate the interest that is accruing from the funds that they are holding and not refunding either to the crew who are being held hostage on the ships or to to a Covid relief fund. After all, they are holding millions of dollars of refund money that should have refunded long ago. DON 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrilled? Im not sure why anyone would want to buy Princess merch when not on a cruise anyway....I mean, its one thing buying that souvenir T-Shirt....or being suckered into buying a pretty brooch....... But to buy stuff online from a cruise company who are refusing to refund any of its customers???????? You have to be kidding!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog Posted May 18, 2020 #10 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Are the gift shops, spa services etc independent of the cruiseline? i can already order some of their merchandise through my Personalizer, but I will no longer tie my money up pre cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle_and_hawk Posted May 18, 2020 #12 Share Posted May 18, 2020 If so, i think we should be able to use our FCC's to buy stuff. Oh wait, don't have any yet. Never mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted May 18, 2020 Author #18 Share Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) I understand that some of you are very mad about waiting for your refund. I too am waiting for refunds, but for me, that has nothing to do with my love of cruising and my favorite cruise line, Princess. Princess merch puts a smile on my face as it takes me back to my favorite activity in the world, cruising! Them selling existing merch that’s just sitting on ships collecting dust would generate money that would further help the cause of refunding our money.

pms4104 Posted May 18, 2020 #19 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I have long thought that Princess ought to take some of the shop goods and all of the onboard outlet sale stuff ... Donate it to charity ... And take the tax write-off ... Oh, wait, they don't pay taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denmarks Posted May 18, 2020 #23 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Princess shops are duty and sales tax free. I believe any items purchased online would have to be picked up onboard. It would be quite an expense to handle all the different state taxes if sold online and shipped to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, but they’re able to sell some of their merch like Stanley, ship mugs, etc. on their Shopify website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
