Pammy, oh no! That late into October won't work for us! Hubby can't take his vacation then...even the first week of October would be pushing it, but October 15 probably won't work at all. Oh well....

Okay, spoke with hubby last night, and he said October 15 wouldn't be totally out of the question. A little harder and possibly not doable, but it's not a definitely "no go." I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.

 

Pammy, one thing you might want to ask whomever is handling the bookings. That time of year is notorious for price drops as the cruise approaches. How will they honor that if we book as a group? Sometimes if a price comes down but you booked as a group, they won't honor the price reduction.

 

Just something to think about.

JerseyGirl, I'm so excited for you that you're on the "maybe" list! I'm glad the date isn't totatly out for you. Hopefully I will know more tomorrow as to the details.

Well, I sent in my e-mail this morning to book for me and my two buddies!! Unless something very drastic happens between now and then, we will be there!!!

 

I just loved the Grand Princess (my very favorite ship so far) and know that I will fall in love with this "sister" ship as well.

Those prices are just so dang good but I'm already booked on the Valor Vampires about a month later...of course if I could buy future cruise credit when on the CP next month, use that $100 for deposit then get the $100 cabin credit AND the $50 cabin credit you get with a future cruise purchase onboard then I might just be able to make that work....not sure who I'd go with but it sure looks good!

 

Happy Cruising

Chris,

 

Just do it! Remember Cruising is life! You will have more than a month between cruises! Just enough time to get ready for the next! You know you want to do it!

[NikkiFer]

Chris, how does this future cruise credit thing work? I am sooo excited to learn about Princess

Nikki, the way the onboard open booking works is that you can put down a $100 pp deposit and you don't have to allocate a TA, ship, itinerary, date...nothing. You have four years from the date of deposit to book another cruise...you don't have to cruise within four years, just have another cruise booked.

 

When you are ready to book the open booking for a specific cruise, you just let your TA know the booking number, and they can price the cruise for you. And that $100 deposit carries over so you don't have to put down anything until final payment. In addition, depending on the type of cabin accommodations and length of cruise you book, you are eligible for anywhere from a $50 to $200 per cabin shipboard credit.

Cool, so the onboard credit is for the future sailing?? So basically while onboard the Caribbean Princess, Alika and I deposit $200 ($100 each) for any future Princess sailing (within about 4 years). Then when we decide which ship, itinerary, etc, we don't have to make another deposit? Then when we are sailing on that cruise we get an onboard credit?? Wow, why would we not do this? Listen up hounds! This sounds like a neat plan [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

[jerseygirl3]

Yep, Nikki, that's exactly right. Actually, I think on the Caribbean Princess Group cruise, my husband and I are going to make two open bookings! It was nice booking the group cruise and not having to put down any deposit (since I already had down the $100 pp deposit from the open booking...even if it wasn't a group cruise and a regular $250 pp deposit was required, we wouldn't have had to put down anything additional...they accept the $100 open booking deposit until final payment...really nice with cruises longer than 7 days that require hefty deposits). And now we have not only the $100/cabin shipboard credit from the Hounds cruise, but we'll be able to "cash in" on our other $100/cabin shipboard credit from the open booking. The first $200 we spend on the Hounds cruise will be on Princess!

Good morning everyone, and a good morning it is. I e-mailed Debbie this morning with all the info for Petra and me, so we are official. [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Jersey Girl, where in NJ are you from? My daughter and I live in Galloway and I was just wondering if you are anywhere near us.

Mamatoots, I live in Little Egg Harbor, not far from Galloway at all. I used to work for Mainland Pediatrics on Second Street (just off the White Horse Pike) in Absecon. We're practically neighbors!
