    Princess offering the double points is great, especially for those of us that have been at higher reward levels on other cruise lines. Another reason to continue cruising with Princess!

      @WalleyeScott57 BRAVO sir. I cannot believe some people are complaining about the double points. They should be HAPPY when a business offers a chance to save money (or points) through these kinds of incentives

      @Girasole5849 POINTS are worth approximately 0.02 dollars per point… that means the double points are only $60 in terms of what you get back in rewards.
      Basically you aren’t missing much.

    • @electrictroy2010
      @electrictroy2010 6 днів тому +2

      Also you don’t double your existing points. You only earn double on the current purchase. So a $3000 cruise earns 6000 points

    The Princess website says "Guests sailing on any Princess cruise that departs between August 1, 2024 and December 1, 2024 who add the Princess Plus package OR the Princess Premier package to their booking. The Princess Plus or Princess Premier package must be added to the booking at least 2 days prior to embarkation day. "
    So I don't think that applies to us on the mid december cruise?

    I think cruise lines need to build in more cushion time between promised ship delivery and first cruise. I think it is truly unfair for passengers who expect the finished experience to miss out on shows, special dining experiences, etc that are advertised. It was weeks after Sun Princess started sailing before many of these were ready.

  • @TWSmith42
    @TWSmith42 7 днів тому +1

    The Princess double points offer sounds generous but I don't understand it. The offer announced now is for cruises you sail from August through December. However, won't everyone have booked their cruises at this point? This surely cannot result in bringing new business and really only rewards people who have already booked.

    Giving double points towards a loyalty bonus scheme is not really on. We are both Elite with Princess and since it started have taken the plus or premier packages too. We have earned our loyalty status by being repeat customers year after year so by doing this quick and cheap bonus makes us feel undervalued as customers. Maybe thats what they are trying to tell people especially when the loyalty benefits seem to dwindle each year.
