Once you have tried them, you'll realise why they are free ! Sailed multiple times in a mini suite and no half bottles of wine given. We do receive a glass of sparkling wine on embarkation when we meet our steward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have received exactly what you're talking about on my NCL cruises. The coupons are loyalty based. Princess does not have any type of tear off coupons. I will let you know in Oct.

sandybeaches44 Posted July 17, 2022 #29 Share Posted July 17, 2022 The coupon book is listed in my summary. I would like to see what it includes. I am unable to locate the .pdf link that was posted in an earlier thread of the coupon book. If anyone has the link, please post. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goddessinjapan Posted July 17, 2022 #30 Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) Just off the Discovery. I tried to reply while onboaed, but I think the wifi ate it. I had dinner in the Crown Grill my first night...not through any great planning on my part, but because I'd had to cancel due to Covid, rescheduled within 9 days of departure, and that was the only night I could get a reservation. I *did* get the free bottle of wine. Details follow. The coupon was in a book of coupons emailed to me directly from Princess. The subject line is, "Res. #xxxxx, Your Exclusive Coupon Book is Here". I had to reserve directly with Princess to keep my discount, and it says that the coupon book is from the Princess Travel Advisor, so maybe it is only for booking direct? Or only with the Premier Beverage Package? Or both?? This was my second Princess Cruise in 10 years and I was in a Guarantee Inside cabin, so nothing to do with Loyalty Status or cabin class. I wasn't given a bottle out of the kindness of their hearts. I had to request it and explain the offer. Anyway, I asked my waiter about the coupon and offered to show a screenshot. I also explained that it was for one of the day's Featured Wines and that I wasn't trying to get a free bottle of something fancy. He had to go speak with the manager, but came back to say yes. They never did ask for the screenshot. There were 2 options for which wine, and I went with his recommendation. I asked if I could take the bottle back to my room, and they said that was fine. I had brought a bottle of supermarket sauvignon blanc, and I also won a bottle of "champagne" in one of the trivia contests, so I ended up with White Plonk, Red Plonk, and Bubbling Plonk! TL;DR- I did get the free bottle, it's not a myth. I asked nicely and offered documentation. Edited July 17, 2022 by Goddessinjapan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will post a picture of the lovely red wine we were given free in Crown grill on the Ruby. It was quite drinkable. . Print the coupon (or have GS do it for you) and give it to your waiter when you are seated. I’ve also used the extra $100 off in the Effy store. I struck my best deal with the clerk then asked about the coupon and they shaved another hundred off. I had a bunch of non refundable OBC to use. And I used the free casino money.

Goddessinjapan Posted July 18, 2022 #33 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) The coupon book above is slightly different than what I received (fewer charms, no logo scarf free 8x10 Platinum print). The expiration date on mine was 12/22/22. In addition to the free wine also used the 30% off $100 fragrance coupon and the Free Platinum Print coupon (I had to get Guest Services to print out the whole coupon book including Terms and Conditions for her and the photographer had to check with the Powers-That-Be because she had never heard of the promotion, but now she has!). Please note that several of the Lotus Spa coupons are for specific days. Edited July 18, 2022 by Goddessinjapan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HaveDogWillTravel Posted July 18, 2022 #34 Share Posted July 18, 2022 This is the coupon book I was emailed Jan 6th of this year. I’m not surprised they’ve got an updated one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between the coupon book now being virtual and staff not knowing about the coupons at alll, I suspect very few coupons get redeemed. And with the coupon book being virtual, the best feature of the printed coupon book is no longer available. The printed book could be used to easily prop the cabin door slightly open to greatly improve the WIFI signal inside the cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
