Princess’ First 3-Day Sale

Okay, I'll admit it. I don't often let you know about 3-day sales from lines such as Holland America and Carnival, mostly because I almost always have daily pricing better than their "sales" prices. But Princess sent me advance notice of their upcoming 3-day sale and I'm optimistic, so I'm passing the information on to you.

It's the first time Princess has offered a 3-day sale, and the pitch is there are 3-ways to benefit: incredible savings, up to $100 "cash back" per cabin (refundable onboard credit), and balconies at oceanview pricing.

Even better, I've set up a promotion with Princess so my clients will in addition get a reduced deposit of $100/person and an onboard coupon book!

The sale runs Thursday, September 10 through Saturday, September 12. The applicable sailings are for the January-April 2010 sailings in the Caribbean, Mexican Riviera, Panama Canal and Hawaii.

One twist is that the deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable, which is a new provision for Princess sailings.

The details for the onboard credit is as follows:

Passengers booked in an Interior or Oceanview stateroom on a 6-9 day voyage will receive an onboard credit of $25 per stateroom; passengers booked in an Interior or Oceanview stateroom on a 10+ day voyage will receive an onboard credit of $50 per stateroom; passengers booked in a Balcony stateroom or above on a 6-9 day voyage will receive an onboard credit of $50 per stateroom; and passengers booked in an Balcony stateroom or above on a 10+ day voyage will receive an onboard credit of $100 per stateroom.

If you've had your eye on a Princess cruise for winter or spring, then just the onboard credits alone are worth taking a look at this sale. Add to that the reduced deposit and other factors, and this is a great offer!

Give me a call or email me for details or a custom quote for your Princess cruise.
