Never hurts to ask. There was a $388 price drop on my cabin after final payment was due. Princess wouldn't issue a refund (didn't expect one), but did give me $250 in non-refundable OBC. 

I'm doing something similar in September before my cruise, spending 4 days at Denali. Since I'll have a rental car, I'm staying outside the park to save money. I'm chose the White Moose Lodge, which looks basic but clean, and very affordable.

Looks yummy, thanks for posting!

Seaview Bar Treasure Chest was a great deal for $20

Just curious as to what this is?

Yes, the promo gift card expires on 7/31/19.

Thanks. I assume it just needs to be spent by then, so I could still apply it to a Sept. cruise.

Can this be used towards final payment if you booked through an OTA? Seems like a no-brainer if so.

In a perfect world, it would be nice if they had a policy similar to what Southwest Airlines used to have. If a Passenger of Size can't fit into one seat, they were asked to pay for two seats. However, if the flight doesn't sell out, the price of the second ticket gets refunded (since the airline didn't actually lose revenue). 

In reality though, its all market driven. Singles pay 100% simply because the cruise lines can get it. 

BTW, as someone solo cruising to Alaska this summer, I wouldn't mind at least having a useful coupon book. BOGO deals are no good for singles - how about 50% off specialty dining?

Its a good thing I prefer iced coffee. Just throw it in the fridge for the next morning!

When looking at the Royal deck plans on the Princess website, it gives me the choice of sailings before or after May 11, 2019. For some reason, the category of my upcoming Alaska cruise cabin (E405 - Deluxe Obstructed Balcony on the Emerald deck) changes from DV (pre 5/11) to DW (post 5/11). From every description I read, these seem to be identical. Any guesses as to why the category changes? I assume it doesn't really matter, just curious...
