Upcoming Princess promotion

I read the next sale will be free gratuities and up to $300 select EZ Air flights. Does anyone have more info regarding how the flight credit works? Does it apply to a 3rd or 4th person in stateroom? Are there many flights not included? Seems like it could be a good deal unless there are many restrictions.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm trying to determine if I should book now or wait.

As long as your deposit is refundable and who you are booking with doesn't charge a change fee, book it now and then see if it is better when the new sale starts.

If you look further down on this forum, someone had a link to the pdf made available to travel agents. It's limited cruises and for most the $300 is per cabin, not per passenger.

Thanks for your reply....I'm booking now :)

Does anyone know the breakdown on the air credit? It states UP TO $300 based on voyage length. I assume shorter cruises will receive a smaller credit than longer cruises but I can't find the actual breakpoints anywhere on the Princess site.

We just booked one way Flexible EZ Air to Fort Lauderdale for (I kid you not) $15 per person using that promotion. I won’t say where we’re flying from, but $15 is unheard of. It says it’s $125 less than the pre-promotion fare.

We may have to take that cruise just because of the airfare, though the cruise fare also dropped from what we originally booked and now includes tips.

For my 10 night Panama Canal cruise rt FLL it's 150/pp. It's easy to check what's offered for a particular cruise by clicking for the air quote.

OK. So I'm just not seeing it. I have a booking with this promotion but when I search for air using Princess EZair, I see no indication of any discount. I've gone all the way to just before confirming the air booking in the last step and there it states nowhere along the process that there is a discount or credit applied. Where are you guys seeing this information?

[we have an oct cruise booked with ez fares. I just checked and the dis counted :)fares are ridiculously cheaper.

Tomorrow I am calling my agent to rebook so I get the free gratuities with reduced fares on airlines

First, the Come Back New promotion is not for all cruises and all dates. We have cruises booked that still fall under that darn Summer Sale with its non-refundable deposits.

For an existing reservation that is part of the promotion, Princess (or your TA, if you used one) has to re-fare your booking for the Come Back New promotion. After that was done for several cruises we have booked, I went into the Cruise Personalizers for those cruises where EZ Air is available (some cruises were too far in the future) and looked at the EZ Air options. I would not usually book air through Princess for round trip cruises out of Fort Lauderdale, but, in view of the promotion, I thought I’d at least see what they would be. I was pretty amazed. Since our plans are still up in the air. I simply added Flexible EZ Air to them, with no financial commitment.
