RickEk Posted January 29, 2009 #1 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Just an FYI, considering the recent conversations concerning Princess' previous coupon book offerings... Beginning on voyages starting on or after February 1, 2009, Princess will be offering a new Onboard Value Coupon book with onboard savings up to $325 per book with a maximum of two books per cabin. Here's the skinny.... Heidsieck & Co. Monopole Blue Label Champagne - 15% discount on purchase of one bottle Maitre D' Wine Club - $5 off Seminar Fee Boutiques Onboard - 10% off any single purchase in Fine Jewelry, Fine Watches or Fine Gifts Boutiques Onboard - $10 off a single purchase of $100 or more Lotus Spa - Free metabolism test Lotus Spa - $40 off Exotic Lime and Ginger Salt Glow with Massage Lotus Spa - $40 off Aroma Stone Therapy Lotus Spa - $35 off Oxydermy Facial Portrait Photo - $20 off any portrait photo purchase Embarkation Photo - $10 off on embarkation photo Reflections DVD - 50% off the purchase of the Reflections DVD Stock Photo Package - 25% off purchase of Stock Photo Package Princess Casino - $5 Bonus-Bet Match Play (matches the $5 bet on any one blackjack hand or one spin at the Roulette table) Princess Casino - Purchase an entry into a slot or table game tournament and receive a 2nd tournament entry free Internet Cafe - Purchase any internet time package and get 15 minutes free Custom Frame - $10 off a custom frame on any purchased or won artwork Coffee Card - Buy one, get one free Ice Cream - Buy one, get one free - ice cream creations Some of these offers are actually pretty useful (well, the over-priced is now more reasonable? :p) ... maybe they've listened to us?! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattle2000 Posted January 29, 2009 #2 Share Posted January 29, 2009 There are definitely several here that I would personally use (coffee cards, ice cream, photos, wine). Do you know if these show up in the cabin, or are mailed out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khuff7 Posted January 29, 2009 #4 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Will they be in every category of cabins? I definitely will use several of them:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h3rjp Posted January 29, 2009 #5 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Well you can't really complain if it's free! Might have swung me on the purchase of a coffee card and at least one photo! Shame there's no discount on the Soda Card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoTL Posted January 29, 2009 #6 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Wow, that's so much better than the old coupon book. The coffee card is a great deal, I wonder if the price on the card is going up to go along with the two for one deal on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
can786 Posted January 29, 2009 #7 Share Posted January 29, 2009 The only thing that concerns me is whether the offering of 15 free minutes if you purchase an internet package means that they will no longer be offering the extra 30 free minutes if you purchase your package on the first day. If so, anyone who uses internet will be losing out. If so, very generous of Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point Cathy, however, not every ship seemed to be doing the extra 30 mins if one signed up on the first day deal. I'll check it out when I'm on the Feb 8th sailing of the Emerald Princess.

serene56 Posted January 29, 2009 #9 Share Posted January 29, 2009 $20.00 off port photo package? thats almost a giveaway. what about th 10.00 off for the embarkation photo? How much is it to begin with--wow. I would use a coffee card if it was buy 1 get 1 free-- especially when you read how it can be used for subsequent cruises.

potchak Posted January 29, 2009 #11 Share Posted January 29, 2009 These are definitely better in the past. Although, I would imagine they might continue the 30 mins free on the first day of sailing for the internet packages, because these coupon books don't usually show up til the 2nd day, right? I can't remember when we got ours, but it seemed later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sultan_sfo Posted January 29, 2009 #18 Share Posted January 29, 2009 This does not appear to replace the coupon book found in every cabin. This seems to replace the $240 promotion coupon given by TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeattleCruiselover Posted January 30, 2009 #22 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I just checked with my TA - she has not heard of this and thinks nit is probably a specific TA promo thing. Ron I would be prone to agree. That is the one that is given out during "cruise week" promos....the ones that go along with reduced deposit. I don't think they are changing the pretty worthless ones that everyone gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdsqrl Posted January 30, 2009 #23 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Anyone know how much this is per bottle,Heidsieck & Co. Monopole Blue Label Champagne? Anne Not much, about $30 give or take. I don't like it very much, but then I'm not a fan of Heidsieck champagnes in general -- I find them too, well, buttery, for lack of a better word. I like crisper wines.

'tis cool... I thought you were just being sarcastic :rolleyes: And yes, it does say that it is a "new Onboard Value Coupon book used in conjunction with Cruise Sales"... it replaces the old $120 book. So, no, apparently not everyone will be receiving this book... sigh. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
