Here are the official rules: https://www.princess.com/cruise-deals-promotions/plus-premier-cruise-packages/princess-prizes-terms-and-conditions/ a) I note that it says the game ends 12/31/22. Unless they extend it, people who purchased the Premier package for a cruise next year will not get this "benefit." b) As I remember it, when this was first announced they said that passengers who did not have the Premier package and had not purchased entry into the game would still receive one free entry. I do not see this mentioned in the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not see this mentioned in the rules. I think it has something to do with the fact that lotteries cannot remain open ended. I suspect you will find it will be renewed for 2023 with and end date of 31/12/2023. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not an international rule...what are the rules for lotteries in the country in which the ship is registered...that's the question. I think.

Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted July 23, 2022 #33 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Wow, exciting for that couple! Yes, it does suck for everyone else to see the same people win over and over. I’d like to think it was simply crazy luck or minimal competition. Personally, I love contests and so am excited about this program. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be able to pay for my cruise by having people pay me to open and close their doors for them while they are eating or in the Sanctuary or Princess Theater. 😄 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it's a little more involved than that. Everything revolves around the door panel which unlocks the door when you approach with your medallion. This will slow things down considerably.

Everything revolves around the door panel which unlocks the door when you approach with your medallion. This will slow things down considerably. Keeping the Medallion in a Farady cage keeps the Medallion from being read unless held to the wall panel. This makes repeated entries fairly quick, just time for the door to cycle. Personally, I wouldn't bother to do this, so I don't care to mention it, but keeping the Medallion in a metal mesh teaball or some such, does the trick. Wish anyone good luck.

We have only opened as normal when returning to the room. Maybe 3 or 4 times a day, but you only play when the ship is sailing.

I thought I read something about “taking a spin” in the casino? Congrats on your wins BTW! 🥳 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casino is open, so not while in port or hours when the Casino is closed This detail was not explained clearly when Princess Prizes was introduced. Well that is very interesting. So the casino wants people to be at their cabin door recording entries instead of playing in the casino when they are open? Another promo they didn't quite think all the way through.

Suite Susie Posted July 31, 2022 #50 Share Posted July 31, 2022 It is to do with gambling rules. The ship has to be out at sea for the door opening prizes to become available, as I guess it is a form of gambling. So they state Casino hours.
