Captain Circle Elite Benefits

[dog]

Are these the elite benefits?

[dog]

Have any of these elite benefits been removed or any added since I saw this on the Royal Princess last year?

[mtnesterz]

That's what it was earlier this year.

It would really make me strive and spend tens of thousands be an Elite. 😁

Not asking for put downs, just asking for knowledge of changes.

That matches what’s listed online

Priority Disembarkation - While this is mentioned as a benefit, it really has no meaning. Everyone can choose their disembarkation time to meet their flight or other needs. Early walk off disembarkation is available to everyone. If you don't like what you have you can just visit passenger services.

50% off internet applies if you are purchasing internet. If you have one of the inclusive fares it doesn't apply.

10% discount at the shops does not apply to reduced priced items.

10% off excursions. When pre-booked on line full price is charged. The 10% is returned as OBC once on board. I believe the OBC is refundable, but not certain.

Good points. I use laundry, minibar setup, 10% discounts, afternoon tea and that’s about it.

What is Medallion net? Would that be 50% off a medallion watch band or clip, one of those purchases?

It’s the name for the wifi

Medallion net is internet access. If purchased the full cost is $24.99/day for one device. Platinum and Elite loyalty levels can purchase for half price, $12.50/day. There are also 4 device plans.

Medallion net is included with the inclusive fares, thus no discount.

Princess calls it wifi, but it is actually internet. Everyone has wifi to connect to the on board intranet.

Duh, net should have tipped me off. So we have a package and this wouldn't matter.

Thanks

[Esprit]

All those benefits were what we had on Sun Princess two weeks ago.

The mini bar is set up twice as our 14 nights were effectively a B2B

Thanks may just look at next years package be have. See if paying the 50% off, tips and all drinks will be less as we are in a suite next year as well.

The 10% discount for shore excursions has always been returned to our onboard account as refundable credit.  Any unused credit has been refunded to us by check in the mail a few weeks after the cruise (even though we paid for the excursions by credit card).

All these perks are alive and well on Princess. Please note that suite laundry gets priority and if there are lots of elites the laundry may retake up to 3 days or so to arrive

Since you book suites, I was listening on YouTube that they've improved the canape selection only for people sailing in suites. 

Much nicer than the old usual, or at least they sounded that way.

Haven’t ordered any for years as the always seem to deliver them around 3:00 and since we don’t even start dressing for dinner till 5:30 they tended to get old and dry

What priority disembarkation means is that if you wait in the platinum lounge for your group to be called they get notification a few minutes before those waiting in the other assigned area. That allows them to get to the door before the rest of their color group.

We find that on a 14 day trip the elite benefits save us about $400 - $450.

I did get the discount in the spa. Excursions- clamshell rental, but take very few anymore. Laundry 2x in 7 days- better than the money I paid on HAL! Canapés gross. Might try Captsin lounge since I saw an impro in some recent pics.  Really enjoyed tea in cabin- wish it was 2 pm.

Don’t need much if you have a package.
