Guarantee

[wrongwaywatson]

I just called the travel agency we used in the past, and I got some info that sounded not exactly correct. I was getting pricing for a Crown Princess cruise next March and I asked about getting a Guarantee, instead of a room and she told me that they don't do that? That you have to pick a room? I said it wasn't like that last year and she said that you had to pick a room. Did something change or is she wrong? Thanks

Your TA is incorrect. Find a new one quick!

Run!!! Dont walk to fFind a new TA.

[cnd crsr]

Any TA should know this. You need a new one!

I have been on about 20 cruises, many lines, and I just booked a guarantee on Princess - my first - hope it works, not used to not knowing what room I will have - floor etc.

so, think your travel agent is not up to speed on Princess cruises at least.

Yes, it is time to find a new TA

[OCruisers]

You need a new TA! No telling what other WRONG information you were given. :rolleyes:

Actually the TA might be correct for the specific cruise or category you were looking at.

 

If you go directly on-line into the Princess booking engine, sometimes there will be button to select a guarantee for a certain category and sometimes there isn't. I randomly picked a Caribbean cruise for next year and the guarantee wasn't an option at this time (no button was available to select a guarantee).

Finally an answer that is helpful, and not a lemming

[gremlinbangles]

Interesting question as I was looking on line at some cabins and the price for a guarantee room was the same price as a regular cabin in the same category.

 

Other than hoping to get an upgrade I saw no advantage (monetary) in choosing a guarantee.

[wrongwaywatson]

Well, I called Princess and the travel agent was correct. At this time, there are no guarantee cabins available. Interesting.

[cdngrl]

and guarantee cabins are the same price as choosing a cabin.

I'm usually booking closer to sailing when some categories are sold out so a guarantee is all that is available....THAT should have been what your travel agent told you...that you are unable to book a guarantee at this time but that usually closer in to sailing they are available.

Bad day for lemmings.

I have always been able to get a guarantee for a double, but never a triple or quad.

Looking at the short cruises on the Golden in Oct. and Nov., I am seeing that you are able to book guarentee cabins for 3 in all categories.
