What's next?

[yoyosma]

Anyone have any idea what the next Princess sale might be and when?  The best.sale.ever sale is about to end and I'm trying to decide if I wait to book my next cruise or not.  Actually 2 med cruises followed by a TA fall of 2022.

I'll give you my guess.

 

Current sale ends March 31. My guess is the next sale starts April 1.

My guess sale on now extended in some form, maybe less perks, more money. 
book refundable deposit and change it if something better comes up.

Always something to look forward to and guess what it will be.  The current sale has been a great success according to our PVP and I would think they might extend a good thing for both the company and its customers.

I'd 'guess' some form of Princess Plus or Best. Sale. Ever. is the path Princess is taking, and any new 'sail' ( dreaming ) would be a variation - cabin location, specialty dinner, OBC

I think Princess will still keep beverage, WIFI, tips, might add something.

Celebrity Cruises now have the 3 perks added in the price., competition with Princess.

I think something very close or exactly as is.  I don't see a lot changing until cruising actually begins.

Maybe a brief Easter promo like they did for Valentine's Day?  We got the chocolate promo on all of our booked cruises.

"Best Sale Ever" 🤣 - The cruise I already have booked was $600 cheaper than with this sale.

Why not book now with the typical refundable deposit option?  Then see what happens in April and keep what you booked or switch to new promo?  No need to decide ahead of time if next deal is better - all the way to FP date.

Thanks all, I did book and turned it all over to my TA this afternoon.  One of the 3 included a casino discount.  The other 2 did not, doesn't matter, changing will be easy if something better comes along.  I still wish for the old 3 for free sale.  But that was usually in the fall if I remember correctly.

WIFI, tips and beverage are standard with Princess Plus, so not really part of best sale ever as you pay $40/person/day for those items over Princess Savers price.

 

All best sale ever added as room upgrade location (but not for all categories) and a specialty dinne which could be added for free to either Princess Savers or Princess Plus pricing.

 

So all they have to play around with for a new sale is some combination of OBC, specialty dinner or location upgrade. They could also have a "sale" with a lower price, but that has not been how they have done things for several years.

The sale today is - Princess Plus - beverage, WIFI, tips is included in everyone’s price.

 

I have 3 cruises for 2022 with no perks if I take the same cruises with today’s Princess Plus each has increased by $500-600, equal as if I had booked with Best Ever Sale.

I thought it might be of interest to report the differences between the cost one of my cruises booked under best.sale.ever yesterday and no sale at all today.  the only difference I could see was the $29 specialty dinning with best.sale.ever.  The prices were exactly the same.  The perks were exactly the same except the specialty dining.
