This agency doesn't appear to be accredited to the relevant industry organisations. If they are I can't find them but can find other TAs.

What agency do you mean?

Thank you for all your replies. Have decided to go with a booking with Princess direct. Normal cancellation rules apply.

I was wondering if it was that OZ travel agent. If so they've gone from bad to worse - they used to demand final payment six months in advance. I refused to book with them under those conditions.

Yes it was.

If it's an Australian cruise booked in Australia the price will be in AUD. The OP is from Sydney.

No, it was $230 for a balcony.

Started a new topic for this subject!

I am looking to book a cruise in Oct 2021 with Princess. I got a email confirmation today which included this "The fare you have booked is a promotional fare and is valid for new bookings only and not combinable with any
other offer. Fares are 100% non-refundable and non-transferable. Please ensure you have travel insurance
before paying your deposit."

And the full fare is payable 10 months before the cruise.

This seems ridiculous to me.

Any body else had similar experience?
