Colo Cruiser Posted April 23, 2014 #26 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I am the complete opposite of you, no FCC deposits on anything, nothing booked, yet we, (like the OP) haven't received anything in the past few months. Strange. Hope its not because you are cheating with Davina! :eek: :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FritzG Posted April 23, 2014 #27 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Now that I think about it, we haven't received any snail mails for quite a while. We took 4 short Caribbean cruises in January and March, and we have a ta booked for September so I hope Princess isn't ignoring us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PescadoAmarillo Posted April 23, 2014 #28 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I guess 8 booked cruises are too much. :eek: So 20 or so clearly disqualifies me? I wouldn't market to me either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhopal21 Posted April 23, 2014 #29 Share Posted April 23, 2014 We received two mailings in the last 5 days. Mike:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caribill Posted April 24, 2014 #31 Share Posted April 24, 2014 A cruise is booked. FCCs exist. Receive both snail mail and e-mail frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dad604 Posted April 24, 2014 #32 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Email offers were frequent until we book TA cruise, no more email since then. Want more email offers to plan next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdsqrl Posted April 24, 2014 #33 Share Posted April 24, 2014 The FCC on the Pacific Princess gave some talks on my last cruise and this was covered: you do not receive mailings if you have an active booking or have sailed in the past six months. In my experience, it's only electronic mailings that stop. I have cruised within the past six months (but the tan has faded and the thrill worn off; it's time to go again!!) and have another cruise booked. I'm still getting plenty of postal mailings, but I have not gotten a last-minute-deal email since I've been back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Woobstr112G Posted April 24, 2014 #34 Share Posted April 24, 2014 My thinking is that we need to do as much as we can while we can. So we do. :) Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare azbirdmom Posted April 24, 2014 #35 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I used to have a stack of the Princess sale mailers that I would weed out as the expiration dates passed. There are no more in the pile. I'll have to call to find out why we're no longer getting them. I haven't seen an email offer for a while either.

KruzPrincess Posted April 24, 2014 #36 Share Posted April 24, 2014 For a short period of time I had nothing booked. I was getting email and snail mail offers almost daily. I got stand-by offers several times. I booked a couple cruises and now I get almost nothing. I will get something via snail mail once every couple of weeks. Not one single stand-by offer since I booked. Hey Princess: just because I have a cruise booked doesn't mean I won't book another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't received a mailing in years, and I always have a cruse booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sept10dsm Posted April 24, 2014 #38 Share Posted April 24, 2014 My friend and I are convinced that the amount of offers you get, especially the ones emailed, are related to whether you have anything booked. We are both Elite and I have a FCC on deposit, but nothing booked on Princess right now. I get offers either in the email or regular mail several times a week. She was getting them until she recently put two cruises under deposit....then poof, nothing! We both feel the offers are targeted! I agree, when booked everything stops-emails and regular mail. As soon as the cruise is taken it all starts back up. We usually book within a few months of departure, it is very obvious to me at least on contact.

sept10dsm Posted April 24, 2014 #39 Share Posted April 24, 2014 No mail-No email-2 cruises booked-Feel ignored, looking for a (low priced, last minute) Alaska getaway. Theo just check the site daily. Last year the prices were a steal. We booked a RT Vancouver the end of May for a mid July departure for 629 pp. Can't beat that. No email (and nothing was booked at the time-just happened to look) Good luck, I don't recall seeing those B2B as 1 cruise this year, but I guess they can be. They save on that $50 surcharge I think, $50 per cruise so if booked as one only $50, two $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRWPA Posted April 24, 2014 #40 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I am booked on my 4th & 5th cruises in May for this year. For quite a while I was no longer getting the last minute deals, but was getting some other mailings - both email and snail. I went into My Princess a few weeks ago and updated my preferences - didn't change anything, just looked at it and saved it. I've since been getting many mailings including the last minute deals. I don't know if my "update" had anything to do with it, but it's worth a try for those of you not receiving mailings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliair Posted April 24, 2014 #41 Share Posted April 24, 2014 We're booked for an Alaskan cruise and we booked it from an ad we received in the mail. Haven't received anything from Princess for a couple of months now. We're looking to go on another cruise and we sure would like to get a good deal like the one we booked on - 3 for free!

Haven't received anything from Princess for a couple of months now. We're looking to go on another cruise and we sure would like to get a good deal like the one we booked on - 3 for free! We have three "three for free" bookings coming up, all for Europe. You got an ad for Alaska, but had you been checking the Princess website, it was advertised all over it. Same with Europe. We never got email or snail mail notice, but we saw the ad on their site. You always need to check Princess.com and never expect to get sale notices.

Renmar Posted April 24, 2014 #43 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Forgot to mention in my earlier post that we do get mail & email (lots of it) from HAL-Cunard & Oceania. Nothing from Princess :confused: Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdsqrl Posted April 25, 2014 #44 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Apparently Princess is looking over our shoulders! No sooner had I posted last night that I hadn't gotten any emails in awhile, when what hit my inbox but a Last-Minute Deals offer. With some very enticing prices, including one high on my wish-list, the Land of the Midnight Sun. Unfortunately, I can't take advantage of anything in early summer this year. Drat.

Same thing happened to me! I posted on the 24th that Princess shouldn't assume that I didn't want to cruise because I have a future cruise booked. On the 25th I got an email with standby offers! Is it a coincidence?? LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruisey Posted April 27, 2014 #47 Share Posted April 27, 2014 They all are not applicable to me because they are only available for two in a cabin.Written to Princess about this but they still keep rolling in by snail mail and e-mail every week.

Pia1913 Posted April 27, 2014 #48 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I always have cruises booked and will continue to have cruises booked. But Princess, if you're reading this, there's always room for one more. So kindly keep those offers coming (which as of now have completely dried up).

BigTimeCruiser Posted April 27, 2014 #50 Share Posted April 27, 2014 We have been on the Standby list for over 10 years, but never have we received any standby offers. The emails from Princess dried up years ago. I don't know how they know/assume we aren't interested in cruising anymore? We always keep several cruises booked. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
