1025cruise Posted October 19, 2019 #3 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I'm sure there are people that have done this. Just note you would need to find an agent willing to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antsp Posted October 19, 2019 #4 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Yes I have booked lots of cruises with USA travel agents, unfortunately with the £ being weak the saving have gone. Generally it’s now cheaper to book in the U.K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

postman999 Posted October 19, 2019 Author #6 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Yes indeed, I am curious to as is our elite status recognized if NOT booking in UK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbsie65 Posted October 19, 2019 #7 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Last Princess cruise I booked with a US agent the booking was cancelled a few days later as Princess would not accept it as I was in the UK - I am Elite btw. I have no problem booking Celebrity cruises in the US but we now have stated to take Star Clipper cruises so no difference than UK prices on that line.

Generally it’s now cheaper to book in the U.K. a if you are in the UK you call princess in the USA and move your captain circle details over to the USA system, you are then free to book. Obviously if you are USA based you do it the other way round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyCruiserettu Posted October 19, 2019 #9 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Your loyalty level is maintained by Princess, not a TA. You have a Past Passenger number, and that should be all you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously if you are USA based you do it the other way round Notwithstanding the currency differential, I thought i have read no discount TA's in the UK, whereas USA has tons. We live in Canada and I have been booking exclusively with US-based TA's for a very long time now. Any variation in currency that might be against us from time to time is overcome by the fare discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antsp Posted October 20, 2019 #12 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Lots of discounts available in the UK. Usually about 10 percent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
