That would be a good deal IF I wanted the cruise.. The ONLY reason I would take the promo like last year would be to move us up to Elite - spend money in the casino and enjoy Beer and sun. If I did NOT get any Future cruise credits on my last cruise in April, Princess would for sure offered the promo... so I bought 14 future cruise credits, LOL.. enough for the wife and I to take 7 BTS's - LOL>.. Hey, the money never goes away and I will use them anyway.. However, if the promo is offered, I will be first in line.

got it... again, good deal IF I wanted to see Mexico for three days,, a $199 per for inside would be reduced to $131 X 2 = $262 - good deal IF I wanted to see Mexico... If I did that 7 times, lol. B2B - $1834 and 21 days in a Inside cabin,,,, would be ready for the funny farm at the end. I will wait for the other Promo... thanks for the heads up..

I just returned yesterday from the Island Princess sailing to Alaska. I'm not sure if there was a new promotion onboard or not, but we booked a short 5 day sailing for February which included 33% off the lowest published rate (past passenger, sale rate, etc), some minor OBC, and only $3 per person deposit. They called it a triple play promotion. It is only good onboard and for sailings 3-5 days on the West Coast and S. Florida from November-March (I think those were the months, I might be off a little bit there).

 

I'm not sure if that will replace the promotion that they had last year or not. I'm also not sure if they have always had that promotion. If not, maybe it is a pre-cursor to try and ramp up bookings on the shorter sailings and hopefully they won't have to do the other. Is anyone aware if this is new?

 

This was also offered on the crown. We got off the crown on Aug 2.

You could be waiting a long time!

I'm guessing there will be a large percentage of passengers who do not redeem their credit. Similar thinking in the retail world... companies make money by selling gift cards, but many are never redeemed.

With that being said, I did take advantage of the "free" cruise and I'd do it again if offered.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I am out really nothing that I can not get back - In a 100 years non of this will really matter, LOL:o:)

[jamminjim]

To understand you,,, you were able to 'Combine' all three BTB's and put ALL that money towards ONE cruise?

 

This is what I would Like to do IF they have the promotion again... Plan to do enough to bring the wife up to 'Elite status' She really wants the free laundry, LOL.. expensive way to get free laundry, lol

 

If we can do this, I am sure I would get really tired of Mexico by the end... we are retired and would just sit back and relax and eat/drink.

 

Now to see if they do it again this year

 

Yes!! We used all of the money for our cruise to Hawaii with YOU!! on April 13th out of San Francisco
