Okay.  That's fine.  New booking on hold and you have three days to work it out.  Before you have Princess cancel your booking, check the expiry of your FCD (I am guessing this is what you meant).  It has to still be active or the cancelation of the booking will also cancel the FCD and auto-refund it.  If it is expired, have the PCL agent get the date extended to current and then do the cancel and FCD will be preserved.

Thanks. It has been a while since I dealt with Princess.  I had a cruise booked with my daughter, but I fractured my hip and five days later my daughter passed. Thankfully, I had insurance and only lost the cost of the insurance. I am not really up for all this fare drama. 

I agree with you both. I did just book it online and for the original price, but I need to call Princess tomorrow. The agent didn’t cancel my original cruise and I want to use my FFC. 

I just held on the phone to cancel a cruise and book a new one. Princess quoted $200 more than what I saw online. Then, I checked on line to see if the fare was now $200 and it was now $300 more. Has anyone experienced this?  Is it possible it is a glitch and the cruise will be reduced to what it was an hour ago? I received an email with the sale. Maybe there were so many bookings, it triggered a price increase.

Did you do something?  I logged out and back in, force stopped the app and nothing.  Try to add my booking manually and it shows that I can't claim it.  I have my boarding group displaying, but will this thing let me do the health questionnaire 24 hours before the cruise? 

No, I think Princess fixed the glitch.

It's no better on the android side.  I took a chance and updated the app.  Went from the green lane to blue lane.  The ocean wearable is now unchecked.  Selecting "Go To OceanReady" just returns a blank screen.

 

I have no apps that are remotely as weak and unrefined as this one.

Same issues for  me, but about 4 hours later, we were back in the green lane. 

I Googled Discovery menus and I found this site to be exceptionally informative. Not sure if I can provide the link, but here it is.

I got my new pricing for my Caribbean Princess sailing for 16 Oct 2021.  Price went down a few hundred dollars and both my wife and I got $50 OBC for ship swap.  We are in cabin F303 which is a window suite on deck 6.  People who have stayed in these cabins said they are their fav onboard the Grand class ships.  We have been looking forward to New England and Canada for a few years; so we do hope next year we will all be vaccinated by summer and we can have fun in October.  Cheers and Merry Christmas to all.

I was able to get B411, but the fare was $2300 more.  I emailed Princess and a customer relations person called me. I was told there were no protected fares.

I called again today, but was told by Princess again that there were no protected fares. 
 

I called my big box tour agent and she said that she saw that I received an email on Dec 1st saying it was protected, but I didn’t get it and she couldn’t send it to me. Did anyone get verification in an email that the Sky fares were protected?  

Well, I cancelled our October 2, 2021 New England cruise on the Caribbean. I was told my fare went up even more than the $3000+ increase and I wouldn’t know if there was a price protected adjustment until December 28th.

We are now sailing to Alaska. Luckily, I got the last cabin in the class I wanted. Hopefully, no one else will have theses issues.

I just received my cabin # today 10 Dec.  So we should be good to go

Did your fare go up?  The sailings in September are less than mine in October. 

I was able to book my air, but it won’t be until 12/28 that  I will know the amount of the cruise fare. The same itinerary, same ship sailing the  week before is showing $6000 + for three and my booking is $9000+, same window suite. My fare on the Sky was $7000+ and the window suite was about 250 feet larger and 2 rooms. Naturally, I will cancel again if the fare remains $9000+.

Well, I rebooked the Window Suite on the Caribbean Princess, but won’t know the fare until 12/9  when the fares will be posted, but it won’t be the $9000 I was originally quoted. Noe unfortunately,  I can’t make  my air arrangements because the site is down. Maybe, they will be released on the 9th.

candide333;  so your cruise is that much more after the switch?  Mine went down

I had my agent double check the price and she was told by Princess that the cruise was refared at the current rate. I didn’t want that cabin anyway, so I cancelled. The Caribbean cruises for October are not posted, so I could only compare with those for September and they are cheaper than the Sky. Maybe the price was so much more because there are so few Window Suites. 

We were on the Sky Princess Oct 2, 2021 sailing in a Window Suite, but we were switched to the Caribbean to the smallest Window Suite F301. The fare increased $2000 for 3 people. We cancelled and booked an Alaska cruise on the Majestic in a suite with balcony for less than the Caribbean. 

I just checked and I have the opposite,  Birthday  is off one day, but anniversary is correct.

I got the invite plus a chance to be in the live presentation, I have been accepted and was asked for questions to pose to her.  I provided the 3 questions in which I am interested in, how will the virus be handled by crew and passengers, will the vaccine be required, how will we know if the ports will allow the ship into port.  We have booked a WC originally 2021 but moved it to 2022.  The live event will be on Zoom and I have received the code to get in live.  I am curios when cruising will start and hope our world cruise gets off.

i got  the same  Zoom invite and a code. Should be fun and informative.

now my cruise is $66 less & offers  specialty dinner for 2. Cannot get through on phone. 

Lucky you. Our cruise fare is $50 per person more, so not a savings. 

Just got the Elite email. Better late than never. 

Thankfully, azbirdmom suggested that I login to Princess and when I did, the new sailings were posted. 

Thanks so much. I was able to access the fares. Have a great day😊

I haven’t received the Elite emails  either in quite sometime.  I just tried to access the new West Coast Sale, but the Princess site is not showing the sale, even though it is July 7th.

I don't see the new sailings or sale. Does anyone have better luck?

So glad this issue was posted.  I could also book excursions etc.  even though my cruise was cancelled in early May. Now, I know I won’t see any cancellations in my Personalizer until September. 

You need to refare  with the current promo to get the sale. Our cruise was cheaper with the new fare, but we had to forfeit the free gratuities
