Sip and Sail is back beginning 6/21/16!

Just received the farechart from my TA which shows which cruises will be included as well as the lead in prices.

 

Thanks for the pricing. Happy that our 2017 cruise rates did not change :) .

We already have a cruise booked for next summer, but it doesn't appear on the pricing sheet. Hmmm. We shall ask our TA about this new promo and see if the refare would outweigh the significant savings we already have on the cabin of choice.

 

Details, details.

:rolleyes:

[Tak8]

Thanks for the information. My May '17 British Isles cruise seems to have the same pricing. If I can change easily, it will be a great value for me.

It looks like the one we are interested in didn't change either -- and given that it is a 25 day cruise, the Sip & Sail is an incredible savings on the drinks package and a specialty restaurant dinner!

[candydane]

Our next cruise is in March 2017, which is too early to be included in the new promotion.

 

Does anyone know if the current promo for free gratuities will still be offered for cruises ineligible for the new Sip & Sail promo?

[Nan_Sea]

I read on another site that there will also be a one day sale on June 18. Does anyone know anything about that?

[basor]

Just checked our NOV 2017 Mexico cruise and the price is exactly the same under Sip and Sail....since we are taking our 2 grand daughters, the drink packages are worth almost $1300.00, plus the specialty dining for 4 so a real deal for us!!!

Whatcruiseisnext,

Thanks for posting the info sheet. I spoke with my Princess agent today and she knew very little about the promotion. I suggested she check CC :)

Expedia is supposed to have a one day Princess sale on June 18. I have flagged that also. I never booked through them before but if the price is right....... I am looking at 2018 and the Caribbean 10 day cruises are so expensive.

Awesome! We sailed to Alaska on the Ruby Princess last month with the Sip & Sail promotion and it was amazing. Even my boyfriend who doesn't really drink alcohol got good use out of it by drinking lattes, soda (and eating sushi at Vines).

 

At the end of our Alaska trip I earned Platinum in the Captain's Circle and have been eager to book our next trip, but Princess has only been offering me crappy deals ($25 OBC, $150 Casino credit). I gave up on Princess, saw NCL's Feel Free promotion and booked our first cruise with them for next spring. I wish I knew about this because I would have preferred to stick with Princess, but guess I'll just have to plan an early 2018 cruise!

Does anyone know if there's a limit as to how many people can sign up for Sip and Sail Promo or is it solely based upon signing up during the time limit (June-Aug)? We were told by one Princess agent that there's only a limited amount of Promo spots available in which I can't seem to find any documentation telling me that. If so, I'll be signing up ASAP! Thanks!

Based on my experiences with booking the Sip and Sail last year, the offer is capacity controlled. If you are going to book a cruise under this promotion, the sooner the better. :)

I can't address the number of people that can sign up, but the last Sip & Sail there was only a certain amount of promos per cabin category. I had to actually change my cabin category as the cabin type I had all the promos were sold out, per my travel agent. I actually had to go down a category from S4 to S6 to get it. Hopefully it will be different this go round.

Thanks for these documents which are very helpful in determining if this promotion is beneficial for me.

Ha...I just got so excited when I saw that the price on the sheet for Sip n Sail was actually LOWER than the price I currently have for my Dec 2017 booking. Then I realised that the pricing on the sheet is in US and my pricing is in Canadian...DOH!

 

Still, works out about the same price so will likely switch over to Sip n Sail next week!!!:p

Their prices will be exactly the same as Princess prices.

 

What is special about their one day sale is:

o $200/person deposit instead of normal deposit amount

o A coupon book with up to $650 in savings on board (valued at $0.00 by most people)

That would be of no use to me.

[Nan_Sea]

We use FCD to book so XXX is of no use to us either.

Never mind.

Is it still the case that the Beverage Package can't be used to purchase buckets of beer?

[caribill]

Is it still the case that the Beverage Package can't be used to purchase buckets of beer?

 

Correct.

 

First of all, a bucket of beer costs more than $10 which is the limit for an AIBP beverage purchase.

 

Second of all, you can get just as many (and more) beers with the AIBP, just get them one at a time.
