25% Off Princess Cruises For Healthcare Workers and First Responders

Princess Cruises Healthcare Discount

Princess Cruises Healthcare discount is for new bookings made between December 5, 2022 and January 31, 2023 for nearly all 2023 or 2024 sailing. You can make this booking via your favorite travel agent or by booking directly with Princess. The 25% off + bonus savings of up to 40% on select cruises  applies to cruise fare only and is based on Princess Standard fares and stateroom category on a space-available basis at time of booking. Suites do not qualify. Discounts apply to inside, oceanview, and balcony rooms only.

Princess Standard fares are basic fares which do not include any special packages. Yet, you can upgrade your cruise to Princess Plus or Princess Premier. If you wish to book Princess Plus an additional $50 per person per day will apply. If you wish to book Princess Premiere an additional $75 per person per day will apply.

The healthcare discount applies to first two guests in a stateroom only.  As most cruise ship rooms are so small you probably don’t want more than two people in a room anyhow.

Who Is Eligible

For the Princes Cruise First Responder and Medical Professional sale there’s a slew of professionals who qualify for the discount.

First Responders:

• Firefighter
• Paramedic professionals.

Medical Professional:

• Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners (ARNP)

After you are verified, you will receive your unique discount code on December 5. If you do not see it, check your spam box. Afterwards, contact Princess or your travel advisor (hopefully me) to book your cruise. Also note, you can stack this deal with other promotions which may include additional onboard credit or upgrades. Something you only get when using a travel agent. Believe it or not, there’s is still good reason to use a travel advisor .

Finally, note applications to receive this offer must be made no later than November 30, 2022. If you want a Princess discount, apply today!

Bottom Line

I started my career as an emergency department registered nurse and understand how difficult and tiresome the work can be. Companies saying thank you to healthcare workers is honorable. I personally know how cumbersome nursing is, and just how hard our first responders work. Any discount is always welcome, and I especially welcome this 25% discount for a future vacation to say thank you to those who have provided so much to our communities. Thank you Princess Cruises!

Princess offers memorable vacations, delivering the ultimate in effortless, personalized cruising. Cruise to exciting destinations like the Caribbean, Mexico, the California Coast and more! We can’t wait to welcome you aboard!

Thank you for sharing. If my memory served, the promotion seemed to be better the last time they offered it; however, you really don't know for sure til they reveal the prices for selected sailings. Difficult decision for us as there's a great balcony price for a January Mexican cruise with the Love Boat promo...kind of a roll the dice if this new promo will be better or not.

Last time, I believe Canada was included as we are part of the N.A. market sector.  This time, not.  Too bad for our healthcare workers - or any other country - would be deserving of it.

I 'think' it was 50% off last time - I'll try to go back and check.  We've got a cruise already booked in 2023 with $200 OBC and $1 deposit - so will have to see if it's eligible , and go from there with the 'new bookings clause.

Yep, 50% last time

As a thank you for all you do, we're taking   50% off 1   your next cruise with us! Sail to Mexico, the Caribbean, the California Coast or other famous destinations before February 2022 and save big. Just be sure to   book by December 31!

Last year, Princess also had a teachers' offer, I wonder if they will have that again. Any one have a clue?

we/she is verified ... will now wait and see

Me too..going to wait and see but I'm aliitle unclear:

"This offer is based on discounts to Princess Standard fares"

What exactly constitute Standard Fares? I view prices on PCL's website and they vary all the time. Hopefully, the % discounts are NOT based on some artificially high "standard" fare.

Too bad it's for "new bookings only". Our son is a CHP officer and is booked with his family and us for their first ever cruise in 2024. I hate how they run these promotions that block out people who are already booked for a future cruise.

25% won't offset cancel and re-book?  loss of perks, price increase?

Holy cow!  Just checked and the cruise in 2024 is Not Available. It may already be sold out. I know cabins were going fast but didn't think it would be full. Probably not a good idea to try to cancel and rebook.

"Standard fare" is the full fare which almost no one ever pays.  The cruises are always 30-40% off, so this could still be a decent savings.  Hopefully they have not restricted it to a small number of cruises during off peak tines.

Standard fare is the fare that does not include internet, beverage package and crew appreciation (tips).

Any discount for this promotion will be off the current standard fare.

I assume that for $50/day/person you could add the internet, beverage package and crew appreciation which would bring it up to the Plus fare amenities which is the standard fare plus $50/day/person.

Does this offer include retired workers also or just active?

4 hours ago, runner2013 said: Does this offer include retired workers also or just active?

Last time we had to provide proof of current credentials. So if you are retired and your certification has expired, probably not, if this one is the same. DW has retired since the last one so would like to find that out also.

Based on the conditions of the offer your assumption is correct about adding Plus or Premiere.

• This offer is based on discounts to Princess Standard fares. If you wish   to book Princess Plus an additional $50 per person per day will apply. If you wish to book Princess Premiere an additional $75 per person per day will apply.

When beginning the verification of status process the following is stated: first responders must be active; medical must be licensed & a member of a medical branch of the medical profession.

Bottom line

Many of these discounts are minor but are still nice if you want to shave a few dollars off the cost of a cruise vacation.
