Question...I ahould be able to book this online on the Princess website, correct? And is there a standard time offers become available....ie I am in US Eastern time. Since I am looking at a particular date, ship, and section of rooms I want to book quickly when it becomes available. I have booked online before with other cruise lines but I am new to Princess looking to book Alaska 2018. Thanks!

Very interesting, Thrak. What will they think of next?????

 

That's not true. You book w/ the $1 deposit and when it comes time for final payment you can have your FCC applied to get the OBC. I did it last year.

Oh good! This is what I intend to do. And perhaps hold out for a good promo. Did you have to cancel the original booking and then rebook to use the FCD?

Are there any restrictions with the $1 sale on 5/22? Can you still take advantage of any fare reductions before final payment?

 

If there is a fare reduction prior to final payment will I need to increase my down payment in order to get the reduced fare?

 

The only risk prior to final payment is $1 ($2 per couple) - correct?

It is not refundable. If you make any changes , the current deposit amount will be required .

 

Basically they will cancel and refare.

Will there be a limit on the number of $1 bookings - such as the first 500 bookings?

Based on this Princess statement not every cabin, cruise nor cruisetour will be available for this promotion. However they're not disclosing which ones & we'll only know for sure by checking for availability on 5/22.

If you go for a reduced fare anytime before final , you will have to pay the new deposit requirement for that fare .

It's true. There is a page on the official princess website for travel agents alerting of the sale: https://book.princess.com/BookingSystem/goToUrl.do?srcURL=marketing/pc/promotional/promotions/index.jsp

 

I definitely plan to take advantage. Broke right now, but get windfalls twice a year (August and January) to pay them off at that time. I have enough cruises for 2017 but going to book for 2018 and 2019 (they are displaying cruises through May, 2019).

 

Thanks for the heads up!

Just want to say Thank You Coral for posting here on the boards about the $1 promo, I would not have known about it, we booked a cruise this morning, we were out of FCD so the $1 promo was good for us. We sure can count on the CC family to keep us informed.

Thanks

Yes, I so agree. Out of FCD and always looking for something to get me to the Elite status...since we are in Northern California decided to do another Mexico cruise (in December-good weather!). :cool: Very happy!

Just found out today from my TA that if you book today using an FCC it's non-refundable.

My guess is you are trying to book a cruise under Red, White and Blue sale which has a non-refundable deposit.

I just put a cruise on hold, preferring to use our FCCs, but there was no option on the web site. There used to be.

Hold is good until 5/25. $2 due by May 25.
