Deposit on a 9 nighter?

[familycruzer]

What is the amount per person for a Princess 9 night cruise?

[ssabaste]

For the 9 night on the Crown in July of 2006 the deposit was $450 each.

Just booked the Crown Princess. They got me for $450.00 per person for the deposit.

It would seem to me as a 15 time princess cruiser that it would be about five hundred or more per person depending on when.

I am thinking of going on the Crown next year(2006.) When would be the best time to go? supposing that my stock market bets turn out good and money is no object? i am retired and i can leave any time.

I've been looking at the Star 10-night cruise for 2006. If I take an open booking during my Diamond cruise next month, can I use the reduced deposit towards that cruise or will they ask for more $$ on top of it for the longer cruise?

 

May be a dumb question, but I'm not sure how the open booking process works. Thanks! :)

Open booking is $100pp, and if you later pick a long cruise, you don't have to pony up any more money until final payment. It's one of the incentives to get you to book onboard.

Suppose one does an open booking on board ($100 pp deposit) and then later converts it to a specific cruise. For purposes of cruise insurance (pre-existing conditions), is the date of the deposit considered the deposit date, or the date that one gets the specific booking number, or the final payment date? Thanks. /Sultan

Excellent question! And thanks for your response critter, that's what I was hoping to hear! :)

Interesting.. If it is Princess Insurance, I think Princess should be best able to answer this question correctly. You can contact Princess Travel Care Desk at 1-800-453-4069.

As far as Access America insurance- it is the date you pick the specific cruise (and transfer your open booking to a real booking), not the day you made the open booking.

 

So, this is great for pre-existing condition situations.

We booked our 9/12/06 Crown Princess cruise on May 17th as my online cruise agency was having a one week special of a $200. per cabin deposit on any Princess cruise. A deal I could not pass up as we were able to book cabin 752. Hoping it will still be the corner aft. First time on Princess.
