The OP is referring to the Auction that was released yesterday.

[whatcruiseisnext]

Sorry about that...I should have read more:o. That auction is over $10,0000 already. It will be interesting to see where it ends up!

I know, crazy! And there's 8 days to go. Will be very interesting what it goes for.

And then, watch them cancel the inaugural date. Wouldn't be the first time a ship doesn't go out on the anticipated date.

Very true. They have the 2 - 3 day cruises as a buffer. Riviera's inaugural was just delayed.

As was the Ruby in 2008.

Wouldn't that be something?

I didn't see mention of this so I thought I'd provide a link.

 

Princess is holding a charity auction on eBay where the highest bidder will become the first person booked on the inaugural sailing in a deluxe balcony stateroom.

There was a thread earlier, but it might have been merged into the whole Royal stuff

But wouldn't purchasing the cruise through this auction then be tax deductible? :p

Not sure in US Tax laws, but I'm thinking YES :p....NICE

Do not take this as tax advice. But, I believe the amount paid to a bonified charity in excess of the fair market value of the product received is tax deductible.

Hi All

 

Its over $12,000 now its only worth $4000

 

wonder what it will go for, mind you someone won over £20 million last night on the lottery

 

yours Shogun

[timetravler]

I don't want the first cruise for reasons stated above. But i will be booking the Trans-Atlantic cruise for Oct. 9th for sure. I certainly would never do the e-bay auction unless it was for a tax deduction. I don't have that kind of money.

BTW to winefor health, Jim I live in the Napa Valley, how about you?

Your neighbor just to the west in the other county. Planning on going Oct 9th also. I may do the 12 day cruise before also.

I would hope it would be a Category D4.

[coops]

As was the Ruby in 2008.

 

We were on the Ruby inaugural cruise and it was moved up by 1 week. So Princess was good about letting all us who originally booked moved to the new date and keep the same cabins. The ship was done earlier then planned.

 

I was glad as we didn't have air booked yet and I really wanted to go on the inaugural.
