schoolmom Posted January 9, 2007 #1 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I am currently looking at prices with various TA's to book a Princess cruise. It seems that several are pushing the on-board coupon book as an incentive. What does this coupon book contain and would you consider it an incentive.

Juliadlf Posted January 9, 2007 #2 Share Posted January 9, 2007 No its not a good incentive. It's mostly discounts on items. I don't recall any "freebies". Two of the coupons we found useful. The ice cream - buy one get one free at the "Scoop"- loved the ice cream sundaes and the internet coupons. It gave us $5.00 off when we reached $10.00 in charges. Came in handy. If pricing is equal among several agencies, we look at who is giving OBC's (on board credit). Julia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted January 10, 2007 #3 Share Posted January 10, 2007 The Passport to savings book that is left in the cabin onboard is in my opinion not worth the paper it is printed on. Some T/A's will put together there own coupon books but you pay for it one way or the other. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 2 coupon books and used 1 coupon, for ice cream. I would never book based on someone giving me a coupon book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldoc31 Posted January 10, 2007 #5 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Last year they had buy one get one free drinks, but this year that was gone. We didn't use anything from the book. The only thing that might be useful was the internet coupon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpack Posted January 10, 2007 #6 Share Posted January 10, 2007 There is a $5.00 match play for use in the Casino. That could make it worth $5.00 or it could actually cost you $5.00 if you loose.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wave breaker Posted January 10, 2007 #9 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Mom I can save you some time I hope. Princess has the same pricing for everyone. The only way pricing is different is if your agent has a group. That pricing will be lower and possibly have a shipboard credit for each guest. Having said that I would consider using a knowledgable agent that you can rely on. Most large cruise specialist consortiums have groups on every sailing usually so you will get the best rates from them. Happy sailing!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted January 10, 2007 #10 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I have a stupid question, are you charged for these coupon books? Not unless you buy one on E-Bay along with some Lotus Spa products. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzyape Posted January 10, 2007 #11 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Largin, for the information and detail of the coupons.
