Are you dreaming of sailing the high seas while keeping your budget in check? Well, you're in for a treat if you're considering a Princess Cruises vacation. This renowned cruise line has a little-known secret that can help you snag incredible deals on future voyages while you're still onboard your current cruise. We're talking about the fabulous "On-Ship Deals" offered by Princess Cruises, which can get you up to 50% off your next adventure on the open waters.
Because we sold our house in Canada, and literally live on ships, we are always on the lookout for great deals... especially on Princess Cruises. We are always surprised about how many people assume that they are getting the best deal by just booking online on the Princess website, or by calling their own travel agent. In this blog, we will show you that there is an even better savings out there... a little known secret that we would like to share with our followers.
We are here to help you make your cruise even more affordable than ever! So read on!
THE BASICS OF ON-SHIP DEALS
Princess Cruises has long been known for its commitment to providing passengers with an above average cruising experience. One way they achieve this is by offering fantastic deals to those who are already onboard. These deals often include discounts on future cruises, onboard amenities, or even cabin upgrades. They will not, however, make this information readily available to passengers. In fact, we learned this little known "secret" by accident!
Timing is Everything: To take advantage of these incredible deals, you'll need to act fast. On-ship deals are typically only available during your current cruise. Princess Cruises often presents these offers at various points throughout your voyage, so keep an eye out for announcements, newsletters, or informational sessions.
50% OFF DEALS
The most sought-after deal for cruisers is the chance to book your next Princess Cruise at a discounted rate, at 50% off. This can translate to significant savings on your next adventure, making cruising more accessible to a broader range of travelers.
Often, our first place that we go to, once we board a ship, is to Future Cruises. They usually have a list of all of the itineraries that haven't been sold, and are literally 50% off what you would find posted online, or listed on discount travel sites.
For example, we had put a deposit down on an online sale for a mini suite on a Princess cruise. Once we boarded the Crown Princess, we went down to Future Cruises, found the exact same cruise (same dates, same time, same room quality) for literally 50% off. Thankfully, we were able to transfer our deposit over to our "NEW" booking with Future Cruises. (We saved THOUSANDS of dollars!)
Please note, that if you have already paid for your upcoming cruise in full, you will NOT be able to take advantage of the 50% off deal.
The list of future cruise deals could range to a handful of cruise itineraries, or pages of options! The list does change frequently, and it is important for you to go down and check with Future Cruises often, to see the most up-to-date deals that are offered.
FUTURE CRUISE CREDITS
Another way to save on your future cruise is by purchasing Future Cruise Credits. These kinds of Princess Cruises' on-ship deals often come with flexible booking terms. You generally do not need to choose your next destination or travel date right away, which gives you lots of time to plan your next cruise according to your schedule and preferences.
Future cruise credits are usually priced at $100 each, and you can use them as a deposit for your next Princess booking, and you will also get some future online spending money for your voyage as well. The amount depends upon the type of cabin you purchase.
OTHER TYPES OF SHIP UPGRADES
In addition to discounted fares, on-ship deals may also include onboard amenities, cabin upgrades, or even free excursions, making your cruise experience even more enjoyable. For example have ran into a lot of people who have played the casino, and have been getting some free dinners, drinks, upgrades and more.
How to Make the Most of On-Ship Deals:
To ensure you get the most out of Princess Cruises' on-ship deals, here are some tips to keep in mind:
Stay Informed: Pay attention to the announcements and newsletters provided during your cruise. Princess Cruises will typically highlight the on-ship deals and how you can take advantage of them. We have found some of these announcements just be simply reading the Princess Patter.
Ask Questions: Don't hesitate to inquire at the future cruises desk. They can provide you with detailed information and help you make the best choice for your next cruise.
Plan Ahead: Even if you're not ready to book your next cruise immediately, it's a good idea to research potential destinations and itineraries in advance. This will help you make a more informed decision when the time comes to choose your next adventure.
Consider Booking Groups: Princess Cruises often extends special deals for group bookings, so if you're traveling with friends or family, this could be a great opportunity to save even more.
CONCLUSION
Princess Cruises' on-ship deals are a well-kept secret in the cruising world, offering passengers the chance to make their next voyage even more affordable and enjoyable. Whether you're a seasoned cruiser or considering your first adventure on the open seas, these exclusive deals can help you experience the world in style without breaking the bank. So, keep your eyes peeled for these offers during your next Princess Cruise and start planning your next unforgettable journey at a fraction of the cost. Bon voyage!
