Happy2cruise Posted April 25, 2013 #26 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Saw a large price drop on our balcony cabin for our sailing next month. Called travel agent to complain..they called Princess and they called me back and said Princess would not give me anything because it was a 'Flash Sale Price'. I then called Princess directly and was able to get them to upgrade us from a standard balcony to a mini suite. I maybe wrong but was under the impression that if a booking was thru a travel agent Princess would not talk to you.....you had to go thru the TA:confused::confused:. Good for you though for getting the upgrade;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KruzPrincess Posted April 26, 2013 #27 Share Posted April 26, 2013 We got refunds to our credit card this year, well after final payment date for a Caribbean cruise. No fighting....our TA just asked after there was a price decrease. As I said in my original post, if that happens to someone they're lucky. I wasn't so lucky. No refund or OBC given or anything. I maybe could have upgraded, but I had the cabin I wanted. My TA escalated to a regional manager and nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simok99 Posted April 27, 2013 #29 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Hi All, We have booked a Caribbean cruise in November and We have had 2 price decreases, one as I noticed we were paying £300 more for flights with Princess and could get the same exact flights with AA. Princess reduced the price. I was then checking the cabin prices online an noticed these had gone down in price as well! When I challenged Princess about the cabin price and asked them why they had not notified me of the lower price they said that the contract I had with them said that they did not have to contact me for any price differences, but if I contacted them and told them of the price decrease they were obliged to reduce our price! They reduced our total cruise price by £560! This means that just by making 2 phone calls I have reduced my cruise price by £860!! As I have booked another 2 cabins for friends as well, this means as a group we are saving £2580!!!!!!!!!! We now feel we have booked an all inclusive cruise....Happy days here we come.<br Keep on watching and phoning is the Moral of this story Ken and Pam Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realise Princess honoured price drops in UK...especially flights. Did you book directly with Princess or via a travel agent ? Bon Voyage !
