How do the prizes work and what do you get?

I am assuming after looking at the rules that this "perk" is pretty much useless while on an Alaskan inner passage cruise as it states the game is only active while in International waters. Am I correct in that assumption?

I believe so... it is also only active while the casino is open IIRC

As far as I know if the casino is open then the prizes work. Personally I think you have a better chance in the casino itself

We just did this for first time we are onboard now. Day 2 we won a premier wine tasting event for later on in cruise $70 dollar value so we were pleased and surprised to actually have won anything. So it does happen.

We just won the free cruise on our sailing.  Do you know how redemption works?

Great question. I am working through the process. 
I am not exactly sure how they are doing it now but evidently we were supposed to receive a W-9 tax form (US citizens) and a form for the princes prizes to chose the #1 - #3 cruises you wish to go on. 
It’s been a learning experience but a friend of mine has guided me through the process.  We hadn’t received any paperwork with winning so not sure exactly how this is all supposed to work but we maybe should have received some paperwork from the casino before disembarking.  
We happen to be on a cruise but have a piece of priority mail coming and not sure if it is from Princess but we are not expecting any other priority mail. ??? 
Anyway, if you experience any issues, I will post all of the pertinent documents for you.  We are steps away from claiming our prize.

Ok.  Just got a call to come fill out w9.  They then gave me a letter confirming the prize and methods to submit either onboard or via email.  All handled by casino.  Apparently you have to claim the prize while in international waters per the terms and conditions of the prizes program.  Very complex!!

Congrats on the win!  So interesting about having the claim the prize in international  waters but that makes sense now that you mention it.
