You are correct, so for a Saturday departure, a vaxed and boosted person could do the test Wednesday, for someone just fully vaxed, it would be Thursday (or Wednesday if it is a PCR test)

First off, appreciate the Monty Python reference! You said test within 48 hours, if I have read the Princess site correctly, if you are vaxed and boosted, you can do it within 72 hours.

We have a cruise booked and then added a second cruise using the discount. You might want to talk to a different person

OK, so went ahead and walked through the booking for Alaska on the Discovery, August 7. Looked at the cost, then logged in and the numbers went down, but not 25%, about 23%. I contacted via chat Princess and they said that the discount was applied to my account so I am seeing the final price, not sure why their 25% is slightly different than my 25%, but we are talking about $30 between both of us. I put it on hold for a day, just to chew on it for a few minutes. the actual cruise before port fees and insurance was $1008 per person. Honestly, $2500 for a balcony cabin and Princess Plus (also port fees, which are crazy in Alaska and insurance) to Alaska is a really good deal. Since we live 40 minutes from the dock, there is no air, no transfers, no hotels, just the cruise cost. OK, Princess's roll out of this promotion was bad and communication almost non existent. I hope they work on this and also consider that making this offer to teachers in May is OK, but making it in January for the year would be fantastic. Pretty good deal and I will survive the clunky customer service

Still waiting as well, got the notice I was verified, but no email yet, 4 PM Pacific. It is a good offer, though being a public school teacher limits when we can go to summer break or vacations, so Thanksgiving and Winter Break. We already have out Eastern Caribbean booked and paid for in July, but we may be next years Alaska trip this August if it works out. But, not code yet, so who knows if it is really happening.
