mina Posted July 1, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Three times i have used the link from a players club email to book a 35 percent discounted cruise. The price shows correctly with the discount applied up thru final booking steps. When I get the email confirmation, the discount is gone and the price that shows is the non discounted price. This is not a free cruise, but a discount using casino code. Please check your attached receipt if booking online thru any links sent by the players club. My last cruise was an 850 dollar difference per person. Not kewl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare azbirdmom Posted July 1, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Wow. Is Princess able to fix this or do you need to cancel and rebook? I usually have my TA book the discounted cruises for me but did book it myself once and I transferred it to her. It worked like a champ then but it's sad to know that it's broken now. Hope you can get the right fare on your bookings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mina Posted July 1, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted July 1, 2022 @azbirdmom. I had to cancel thru text chat and will need to call in as the text chat does not know how to book a code casino cruise. I keep telling them it is a problem, but half the time they tell me it’s cause I have to call the casino line to do a discounted booking, which is not true.

SomewhereGirl Posted July 1, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) It's still doing that? It did that to me a couple times when I was pricing about a month ago. My CVP saw that I made two courtesy holds so he emailed me that he found a better deal (the casino discount) and he created a new booking (I assume so he could get the credit, and he's been useless ever since, but that's another story) that I was able to make payment online. In the future I'd go the courtesy hold route first and not straight to full payment, just to be safe.

I believe all it takes is inputting the word CASINO in a field in the booking engine to trigger the discount so the chat person should be able to handle that. My TA books the discounted ones for us (or I have done it online and transferred them to her - now questionable due to your post) and it only takes her seconds to do it.

Rare CineGraphic Posted July 1, 2022 #6 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I was having the same problem a few weeks ago, so I called and had a rep book it for me. Initially, they had trouble with pricing as well, but were able to work things out eventually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsSoCalCruiser Posted July 1, 2022 #7 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Where do you add the Casino code? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not something that we can do for ourselves through the Princess website. Well actually we had figured out a workaround by launching from a Princess Players Club website which applied the discounts but that seems to not be functioning right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep the chat people should be able to do it. I even tell them exactly how to do it. They won’t. They tell me it must be booked thru the casino. I have given up trying to get them to do it😀 Edited July 1, 2022 by mina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very, very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
