We aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sama10 Posted January 24, 2017 #6 Share Posted January 24, 2017 On our recent cruise to New Zealand over Xmas and New Year on the Emerald Princess we had a phone call a few days before we left asking if we would be willing to move cabins to a lesser position. As I had particularly picked our cabin (inside R745 right beside the pool on the back deck) I refused. We were only offered I think 200A$ each to move,no other incentives. The position of our cabin was well worth it and it would have taken a lot more of an incentive to move. Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though a few people on our Emerald cruise were offered 50% refund (as OBC) to go from a balcony to an obstructed OV. For seven days I'd have considered that one, as long as the IV was mid ship. I wonder if something like that led to your offer, someone said "Sure I'll go from a balcony to an inside as long as the Inside is R near the pool" so they then offered you something to free up one of those.

Rare MicCanberra Posted January 24, 2017 #9 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Perhaps, I would rarely move if I have picked a cabin and that is for a upgrade within the same type of cabin or a downgrade with OBC but if I hadn't picked a cabin directly, then I am open to the possibilities.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need midship. So if it was midship balcony to midship OV and a good enough compensation (on a short cruise) I may consider it. But I book a balcony for a reason. I like having the balcony.

Duck Creek Posted January 25, 2017 #12 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Princess was offering move downs on an NZ cruise that I did. Oceanviews to inside but the email said it was offered to twin share bookings. I had booked a guarantee obstructed but usually do insides. Was travelling solo so rang to see if they would extend the offer to me. They offered me the 50% back as on board credit. For a solo this was a good offer. Ended up in an inside cabin in a position I most likely would have chosen anyway. For me it was worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSWP Posted January 25, 2017 #14 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Have done 20 or so cruises with Princess, around 400 days. Never received a move over offer. Most of our cruises have been from overseas, so airfares booked would make any move over offer a no, no. Princess don't compensate you for airfares paid do they, if you accept move over?

awesome girl Posted January 25, 2017 #16 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Princess offered us a move over last year 4 days before the same perks as the poster, we declined as we paid nearly $1000.00 in airfares, for those who don't need to fly or in a younger age group where they don't pay large travel insurance it would be a good deal.

canadianaustralian Posted January 29, 2017 #23 Share Posted January 29, 2017 We took a move over for a Jan NZ cruise offered two days before departure. We were supposed to get a full fare refund, and 12 night cruise and upgrade, but when I checked the OBC was the fare minus the taxes we had paid for the previous cruise. Can anyone confirm if they got the total fare price refunded in OBC and if we were to book on a USD ship do they adjust the OBC at an exchange rate or is it say $3800 USD or AUD depending on which cruise we re book, hope this makes sense. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johhno Posted January 29, 2017 #24 Share Posted January 29, 2017 This is correct. Our cruise refund (OBC) was less taxes and was applied to our new booking. In saying that, our new re booked cruise is all inclusive of taxes. Meaning we paid for taxes on the first cruise but not on the second. Our original cruise was in AUD but has now being converted to USD for our move over cruise (Baltic). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
