poz, ne znam gde da smestim ovu temu pa je zato spala pod "razno".
Da li je neko koristio neki od benefits programa za Princess ili neku drugu kompaniju?
Ne znam da li ste znali, posto se slabo reklamira, da svaki crew/staff sa 5+ godina sluzbe ili off sa 1+ godina moze da ide na kruz za 15$dnevno i da pivede jos troje ljudi po istoj ceni.
Uglavnom, 15$ je za sve odrasle a 8$ je za decu ako su na trecem i cetvrtom krevetu...

While requests will be dealt with on a “first come – first served” basis, priority will be based on a staff member’s seniority and years of service with the Company.

ONBOARD DISCOUNTS
The Employee Onboard Discount Program provides the privilege of enjoying special employee discounts for a variety of onboard services when sailing on a Princess ship (see chart below).
In addition to an employee benefit, Employee Onboard Discounts apply to ALL individuals occupying the same cabin as the employee.
All charges by employees and qualified stateroom guests are automatically added to the employees’ stateroom folio.
Discounts are applied at the end of the cruises, and are not reflected in receipts at the time of purchase.
On the last day of the cruise, the folio will show the original purchase(s), with a final credit entry totaling the employee discount for each charge type (e.g. Boutiques, Photography, etc.).
However, for shore excursions, the discount will be automatically applied to the original charge; therefore, a separate credit will not be shown on the folio.
All accounts must be settled at the Purser’s Desk prior to disembarkation. Any discounts that are not applied prior to disembarkation will not be honored after the employee leaves the ship.
No discounts apply to any other onboard services except those mentioned below. Discounts do not apply to gratuities that are automatically added to the stateroom on a per diem basis.
