Cruise Raider Great Review Rare

Finally got my email with a "thank you for your patience". I'm going to browse around but at this point I think I'll roll the dice on the Best Sale Ever promo.

 

Only if you have time, can you check on the pricing for March 27, Hawaii 15 nights on the Royal for a mini suite for 3 passengers, category MA, standard fare without the packages?  Can you just give me the pricing for the cruise only for the first two passengers excluding taxes and fees?   It would be a great help for us but I understand if you don't have the time.

No email overnight. The waiting game continues. I have a cruise booked that qualifies for the First Responder promotion. I will see if it is better than the casino promotion and rebook if better. Princess will jack-up the fares unannounced.

I just spoke to a rep on chat and was told the "Concern Department" is working on it and we should hear soon....the "Concern Department"?  That's a new one!

I received the email on the 5th and didn't think the prices were all that different.  I received a new email today and some of the prices were great, but nothing that was of interest.  There are somewhere between 60-70 cruises to choose from for this promotion.  (can't remember the exact number)

I am trying to DM you but it is giving me an error message. Try sending me a message? I would rather not post openly about pricing and I am sure there are rules against it...

That makes sense.  Thank you for trying!  The message feature has been disabled for years.  
I spoke with my CVP and all is now solved.  Thank you!

So ….according to a travel agent on You Tube, Princess said fault lies with the certifying agent. They are delaying the process. The cynical side of me thinks the delay is because Princess does not want us to price compare with the lower prices. I wonder if prices will go up on the 14th. Yes I’m overthinking this because that is what I do. 😃

But many people report having been  verified so the ball then lies with Princess.

I was verified. I think the transfer of that information is delayed according to Princess. I checked with Princess she told me to check my spam. I wasn’t expecting a logical answer. I probably won’t use the promotion but I should have the choice.

I seem to be only one of the few who actually received the email on Monday evening.  Two cruises that I may have been interested in seemed to have good prices but then when I saw a large TAs email for Princess they had the same price as listed as Captain's Circle price.  So it seems I can get these prices without being a health care worker.

Previously, was it being handled by the 'lack of concern department' ?

What a bunch of BS!  I called to ask about a certain cruise I was interested in and the CSR said she could see I was verified and told me the cruise I was interested in was not on that promotion.

I'm still waiting........................................................

Me too. The Best Sale Ever prices did not wow me. Now I want to compare the First Responders offer. The longer they wait, the higher the prices.
