Princess OBC's for Sold Out Categories

[crawford]

I've seen several cruises that will have "view offers" under insides, oceanviews, and balconies, for example, only to find that OBC's are listed under suites, which are SOLD OUT.

 

There are no actual offers under the other categories, although it says "view offers". Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Is this something you are seeing on princess’ website or the website of a travel agent?

Please just phone Princess and ask what's going on.  Could be a problem with their website, or could be that the OBC offers have expired.

Can you point us to a specific cruise where you are seeing this? Sounds odd to me.

My Guess, it is harder to change the website page back and forth each time a suit becomes available, so they just leave it up during the sale. As rooms become available, the availability is automatic. It is clear where the OBC goes, so, no harm, no foul!

When I went to the page, clicking offers brings up OBC for all cabin types for both the 12 and 29 day cruise.

Range was $150 to $250 and $200 to $300 depending on cruise.

Thanks for your replies. Going to try different browser, as what I've posted is happening in several of my searches.

I actually went to the Princess web site just now. It appears that Princess is no longer offering any benefits for the November 23, 2019 sailing you mention. You must have been on the site during the transition. I do see offers for the Pacific Princess December 22 sailing, RT Ft. Lauderdale.
