Is it worth trying to fight for the coupon book?

Anyone willing to give up the B1G1 free for the specialty dining?  We sail in 2 1/2 weeks and would LOVE to go to dinner.

I'm willing to give you one of the coupons we didn't use.  Email me your address and I'll send it to you 🙂

We had coupon books last week on the Regal.  Ours have an expiration date of 12/31/20 so the coupons we didn't use on this sailing we may use on our fall cruise.  Here are the coupons in the books we received:

• 15% Princess luxury bed
• Buy one get one free Embarkation Day Special, dinner cover charge in specialty restaurant
• Free chocolate dipped strawberries with purchase of Champagne
• 15% off bottle of wine at Maitre d wine tasting
• Free bottle of water at specialy restaurant
• Buy one get 10% off shore excursion
• $40 off massage on port day
• $40 off stone therapy on port day
• $35 off facial on port day
• Free men's haircut with shave on port day
• 10% any single jewelry purchase
• Free Effy captains wheel necklace
• Free pair of diamond studs with Effy purchase of $800
• 15% off any 3 Princess branded items
• Free 11x14 photo @ Platinum Studio with purchase
• $10 free casino play when you spend $20
• 20% Discovery Store purchase
• Free photo lanyard with purchase of 8x10 photo

 

Edit to say these are the books provided by the TA, not Princess.  I used the free photo lanyard and 15% off 3 Princess items.  

We have used the BOGO Specialty dinner cover charge on the first night. The Free bottle of water in the Specialty resturant....I don''t think it's a total waste.  A free $29 dinner is not nothing. JMHO!

So how does the bogof coupon work for a specialty restaurant when one is in a suite? 

 

Can one postpone the totally free free one from the suite till later in the cruise and use the bogof one on the first night?

Good question. You need to ask when on the ship as the answer may be different on different ships.

I’ve had my coupon book show up 2nd or 3rd day. Has anyone been able to get the BOGO first night dinner after when this has happened?

😂🤣......Only if you need a coaster for your drink.

Yes, but it’s going to cost you $95 for the shave to get that free haircut.

And you have to do it on a port day. The only port I would be willing to miss would be Princess Cay.

But is it really worth your time if you have to deal with an hour on the phone with a TA?

Yes, it is for a port day, but it can be after the ship has sailed since it was a port day even if you are not still in port.

Since they won't let you use the coupon on any other day I guess you'd be out of luck.

You should add that to the Princess secrets. Never knew that. I just assumed it was while you were docked.

On a cruise I am taking (in 2020) they are now offering a coupon book for new bookings.

 

I have an existing booking where I recently added the BSE.

 

It took a LONG time on hold with the TA to get that, over an hour.

 

On the cruise my cabin class is already sold out and I don't want to rebook.

 

Is it worth the effort to try and get the coupon book.

Coupon for BOGO Steakhouse first night and the large bottle of water. You will need to take the free bottle of water coupon with you if you go for the steak house. A few free items from the jewelry store. Other than that discounts for the spa etc.
