May I ask the source of this information?  Just curious, as we are not even close to achieving these tiers.

I'm not sure where Host Mike saw it, but it was in the most recent Captain's Circle Quarterly.

I must say, $25 onboard credit is not overly generous for 20-30 cruises;  however I was fortunate enought to make the cut for the Captain's Luncheon on my last cruise, and that was indeed very special.

[Host Mike]

It was published in the latest Captain's Circle quarterly.

f-mattox, I agree $25 isn't much of a prize.  But, the luncheon at the Captain's table sounds very nice. 


I found what I'd been looking for....I'll have to give them a call.  We've not been receiving this magazine for some reason.

I must have not noticed that article in the Princess newsletter.

We are still a couple of Princess cruises shy of 20, but have been to one very nice "Most Travelled" brunch on Pacific Princess, and one "Most Travelled" cocktail party in the Captain's Quarters on Regal Princess.

[NSWP]

Yes..a lot of cruises to Super Elite and the OBC is not much.  The 'Most travelled pax'  lunch with the Captain and senior officers is nice, did that for the first time on Sun Princess this year, around OZ.  Only 30 odd Elites on board, so they all got an invite.  Best meal and service I had on the ship, I wonder why?

Same here;  now we know what they are capable of .

[Host Mike]

I've learned that the 20 or more Princess cruises on board credit (OBC) is "per family." It is not for each individual qualifying person.

I can't say I've ever seen any older children in attendance at any of the lunches. I suppose it's an invitation to the parent's only.

[RichC]

On our recent trip on the Star we only had a cocktail party to attend & did miss the special lunch. They also shrink the size of the photo taken with the Captain to a 5x7 & not the 8x10 they once gave out. I though this was sort of cheap since they throw away hundreds of purchased photo's & the cost difference between the two sizes for 20 photo's can't be all that much.

Spot on there, $25 obc will only buy you a bottle of 'house wine' on Princess.  Not even a 'coffee card' those are $30 now, right?'

You would think that after 20 cruises they would at least provide the top cruisers with free perked coffee at no extra charge. 

[Host Mike]

Princess Captains Circle Rep on the Sapphire says if both passengers in the same cabin have over 20 Princess cruises each they only get one $25 credit NOT two.

What say any of you ?? ? ?

[nabs14]

Absolutely not fair or acceptable... As Princess wants to save money, so do the passengers & therefore it may be time to turn to other cruise lines with a better policy & options...
