So I chatted with Princess today and unfortunately only the ADA rooms are still available. So I'll try my hand at bidding and hope that at least some balconies or minis will open up. It will definitely be cheaper if I go that route. Fingers crossed.

Sorry about not posting the details of the trip in terms of the boat's name and etc., I'll keep it in mind for future posts (Also you were right on the money with the boat name and dates). But anyways, thank you so much for explaining the costs and everything to me. I'll be contacting Princess tomorrow through live chat (since I tried calling earlier today with no avail) and see if the mini suites are still available. Once again, thank you.

Well I'm not in it just for the tub, but also for the balcony and the space (I probably should have put that in my original post.(my mind was on using my bath bombs on the cruise lol)). But thank you anyway.

Hello everyone. This is my first post, so sorry for any formatting errors. Sorry if it's a long post too and delete if not allowed/wrong area. This is my first time doing an Alaskan cruise as well as a Princess cruise and I booked a obstructed view cabin. Now I'm thinking that I would rather like a mini suite (Mainly due to all the balconies being sold out as well as getting a tub). As I'm writing this, I have about 130ish days til the cruise. On Sunday I paid off the last $300 for my cabin and called up customer service a few hours later to see how much the difference would be. It was more than I did the math by a couple hundred dollars. For reference I paid $991 (including $250 for port fees and the room I was looking at was $3,885 ($250 port fees included) I was told that I was pay the difference (which should be $2,894) but was told it would be (can't remember exact number) about $3,100. Does that mean I would have to pay for port fees and taxes again if I were to upgrade? Or if is just because my my payment has not gone through yet? Also I know that Princess does the upgrade bidding after final payment. But since all the balconies are sold out and mini suites are running out as well, would it be a good idea to take a chance and just wait for the bidding or just book the guaranteed mini suite now? Do a lot of people miss their final payments and thus rooms open up? Thank you much for your answers.
