Ohio traveler Posted October 5, 2009 #1 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Two weeks ago we received an email for a discounted price on a Panama Canal cruise, which we ended up booking. Exactly one week after we booked, we received the same email, but for $100 less per person. I called Princess but was told they couldn't honor the lower price. Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmyorkston Posted October 6, 2009 #3 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Usually, once we book all e-mails about special pricing disappear until after our cruise. We don't have anything booked now and haven't received any flash promos in a long time. I guess Princess stopped loving us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishing on a star Posted October 6, 2009 #4 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Yes, consider yourself lucky that you got a mailing after you already have this cruise booked. If this mailing is valid, and has your account number on it, you should be able to use it by cancelling and re-booking with the new promotion??? You are not asking for price-matching...... You are asking to book a valid promotion. Unless, of course, you are now past final payment lock-in date. Then you can't cancel your existing booking without penalty. If not, simply book with this promotion, and then cancel your existing booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeBeGone Posted October 6, 2009 #5 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Be very careful - flash promotions usually have some sort of wording "new clients only". That means that if you cancel your existing cruise to book at a lower rate for the same voyage, your booking will be denied because the computer will show you as NOT a new pax.
