3 day SKY Princess 12/04/19 - back open for bookings

[voljeep]

plenty of cabins - but wowzers - the price of the balcony (BD) has gone up by $530 - over double than

what we booked for on the first day bookings were available

 

thanks CC for the heads up to when bookings became available

 

Under 400 days now to sailaway

Those prices are insane!!

[voljeep]

3 day balcony - aft - $ 1,024 per person - cray cray

Check with your TA's, if they blocked group space on the sailing, the price is still reasonable.  I see $519+tax per person for BD

I booked an Aft PH (S3) for $1,374 pp in July. Someone booked one yesterday at $1,899 pp.

If there are very few staterooms left you can expect prices to be super high

[voljeep]

Hundreds of cabins on Riviera deck alone... and I "understand" (roll call) at least some TA's had their unsold inventory pulled...

 

What's up with this sailing???

 

sure enough , a TA that had the 3 day when showing as 'sold out' no longer has that sailing offered...

If there are a lot of full suites, mini suites and balconies available there is a good possibility of upsells going out to those already booked

They won't upsell a cruise that doesn't take place until December 2019 yet.

Suites have been sold out for months. I've been haunting the website looking for an upgrade. An S3 opened for a short time yesterday and an S2 was open this morning. I couldn't justify updating from an S3 to an S2 at an additional $450 a day! Three days in the S2 is $2,099 pp. A tad steep for 3 days!

We are paying $734 pp per day for the sky suite, S0, on the 7 day eastern Caribbean cruise. There’s only 2 of us in that suite. $700 for an S2 is steep.

There are three days idle in FLL prior to the Inaugural Getaway 3-day. I suspect the ship will be christened the night before we sail (like they did for the Regal). 

 

[john_galt]

Showing as completely SOLD OUT again this morning. 🙄

 

[voljeep]

wonder what is really going on - with Princess pulling unsold inventory from the TA's and having those outrageous prices... it's like they are trying NOT to sell any more cabins..

 

Cruise cancelled the next step ??

[john_galt]

Makes me nervous but I think it supports my theory about the christening. The Regal had a 3-day press preview in FLL followed by the christening on November 5, 2014. She sailed on a 3-day 'Caribbean Maiden Voyage', departing the following day. The sail-away was a big deal, complete with fire-boat escort. The Sky has a 3-day press preview scheduled prior to the 'Inaugural Getaway'. I'm hoping for the same level of hoopla!
