Mekamax Posted June 27, 2013 #27 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Thank you - I'm not used to dealing with Princess and didn't know that some deposits could be non refundable or transferable. I do know CCL had rates like those before but didn't know to ask about it on Princess. Do they tell you when you are booking just to make sure you know I wonder??? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzsnooze Posted June 27, 2013 #28 Share Posted June 27, 2013 My 4 night cruise on the Golden went down so I re-fared myself HOWEVER note that the deposit becomes non refundable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cruise wasn't on the sale either, same price as before. Maybe our cruise prices will fall soon. We can dream. The sale was only for selected itineraries, sailing dates and cabin classes. We were able to save $400.00 and get $100.00 onboard credit. So that means $500.00 total savings over our original booking. Also, kept the same cabin (we were happy with the location). And, yes, the deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable (another good reason to purchase the Princess Care vacation protection, it will cover most things that would cause us to cancel).

cherylandtk Posted June 27, 2013 #31 Share Posted June 27, 2013 No reduction for me. In fact the price went uo $360. PP!Wow! Since the current sale price for a mini on your sailing is $1189, that means you got yours for $829 which truly is a great bargain. I don't think you will find a reduction below that even on a flash fare, so sit back and enjoy looking forward to your cruise. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price from Princess Red, white and Blue sale for my saling is before tax $1639 and up for the minis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here! Saved $400 on the fare and have an additional $100 OBC. Total savings on the cabin are now $2500 since booking last Sept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Working 2 Cruise Posted June 27, 2013 #35 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Jetstorm: Was the December 20th cruise to Hawaii listed from San Francisco listed and if so what was the price of a balcony? I made a reservation when they had a sale with the purchase of an outside cabin a free upgrade to a balcony. Thanks! Tom:) Since this sailing is a holiday sailing, it is priced higher. Fares may come down but probably not until much later and IF it doesn't sell well. There is only one Hawaii sailing on sale, and that is the 11/20 sailing. I was offered a fare of $1599 per person for a balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PescadoAmarillo Posted June 27, 2013 #36 Share Posted June 27, 2013 We have a whopping $12.50 per person potential savings for one of our cruises (increased OBC). In return, our deposits become NRNT. No, thanks. I'll wait for the inevitable Labor Day Sale, and hope to catch one of the unannounced price drops in the meantime,.

wb2868 Posted June 28, 2013 #37 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Our price has gone up from when we booked by 100.00 a person... Guess we will have to keep watching! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjkTX Posted June 28, 2013 #38 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Our Coastal cruise is like the local department store. They raised the price $200pp two weeks ago, now lowered it $200 for the sale. Wheeee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partybarbie Posted June 28, 2013 #39 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I re-booked our coastal and saved $100.00 on the fare and received a $25.00 cabin credit. Thank you Princess.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennett'sCruise Posted June 28, 2013 #40 Share Posted June 28, 2013 By non refundable deposit, do they mean you don't get it back even under the Princess Protection if you cancel for a covered reason??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar1950 Posted June 28, 2013 #41 Share Posted June 28, 2013 [quote=Bennett'sCruise;38936641]By non refundable deposit, do they mean you don't get it back even under the Princess Protection if you cancel for a covered reason???[/quote] If you have a reason to cancel because of something covered by the Princess Protection you will get the deposit refunded by the protection plan, not Princess. I asked about this before making the change to the fare sale deal. The Princess Plan cost was just a little less than 50% of the deposit. Good enough risk for me when you consider that it continues on when you have made final payment or you have a medical issue while on the cruise. It is insurance after all.

KruzPrincess Posted June 28, 2013 #42 Share Posted June 28, 2013 My cruise is on sale, but I got a lower price and more OBC with the Balcony Bonanza sale a couple months back. There's still a lot of cabins left on my cruise so I'll keep watching. I have my eye on a Hawaii cruise, but my price from Celebrity for a similar cruise is still over $1000 cheaper than Princess. I guess I'll stay with my X cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted June 28, 2013 #43 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I priced out a cruise I am eyeballing for this year. For a mini-suite, there was a good savings that if I were to book would make it worth it. For an aft balcony, the savings wasn't as nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea&Me Posted June 29, 2013 #44 Share Posted June 29, 2013 [quote name='caribill']I do not get that impression at all. It says that all can get some OBC (up to $100) and those that qualify can get the military OBC. FCC OBC and stockholder OBC and travel agent OBC and[COLOR=red] Visa Card OBC[/COLOR] would not be mentioned in a general announcement such as this, but they can also be applied as applicable.[/quote] Would you mind sharing info about the Visa Card OBC? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted June 29, 2013 #45 Share Posted June 29, 2013 [quote name='Sea&Me']Would you mind sharing info about the Visa Card OBC? Thanks![/quote] Princess has a Visa credit card. Charges to it normally get 1 point per $. Princess charges get 2 points per $. The points can be redeemed for, among other things, OBC. See [URL]https://www.barclaycardus.com/apply/Landing.action?campaignId=1273&cellNumber=9&referrerid=HOMEPAGE[/URL] First purchase gets you 5000 points which is good for $50 OBC.

Or, I can use the promotion and charge you $200 more and get you the dining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
