drsel Posted August 16, 2020 #51 Share Posted August 16, 2020 The coupon books are worthless (YMMV). They're mostly "buy whatever and get 10% off" or "buy X and get a special, really valuable tchotchke"If you're wondering tchotchke means junk.;)I have used it a couple of times to support a table leg to keep the table from wobbling.Did you get the Princess discount coupon book on boarding or in your email along with your cruise ticket?

Did you get the Princess discount coupon book on boarding or in your email along with your cruise ticket? You get it in your cabin when you board. There are 2 different ones (apparently). One is from Princess and one is administered by travel agents. The one from the TAs has the BOGO dinner in a specialty restaurant. BTW: they don't mail cruise tickets anymore. They're emailed.

Both come from Princess. When a TA says you get one, it is because of a Princess promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TA book does come from Princess but only because the TA has agreed to have a weeklong "Princess Cruise Night Sale " All those TA bookings during that Sale receive the "good" TA coupon book in addition to reduced deposits and what ever else the TA wishes to add .

Retirement2016 Posted August 17, 2020 #59 Share Posted August 17, 2020 We don't always receive the "coupon book", but when we do we always take advantage of BOGO specialty dining on the embarkation day. The restaurant is never busy so the food comes out quickly and hot. Service is always great. We also take the free bottle water coupon with us and take the unopened bottle back to our stateroom. Never had an issue. Can't wait to start cruising again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Service charge is included for in the price of specialty dining, so you pay the price for the first person ($29.00 at Crown Grill). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've gotten many coupon books (using a different TA) that did not include the same coupons as the one's we receive from our current TA. In addition, on one of our cruises as we left our cabin, the people next to us we also walking out the door. I'd been wondering what to do with the 2nd book (can't eat 4 dinners on the same night ). I asked if they'd gotten the book, answer was "no", so I gave them our 2nd book. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Princess website or Cruise Critic ship review should list the restaurants available on your ship and their prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
