tourismtessy Posted January 3, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Just got the coveted move over offer for our cruise departing on Monday. We are in a Caribe balcony (bigger balcony) on the Crown Princess and received the move over to an oceanview for 100% refundable onboard credit (cost of cruise). Considering it but know I need to act fast! Any opinions? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voljeep Posted January 3, 2020 #3 Share Posted January 3, 2020 hopefully you have at least called back already ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocklinmom Posted January 3, 2020 #4 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Heck yah I'd take it...and it's an oceanview not interior, so win win. The Plaza deck cabins are a great location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tourismtessy Posted January 3, 2020 Author #5 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I did call back and left my info on their voicemail. Will be happy if we hear back and happy if we don't! Either way, we cruise in 2 days! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number is a voicemail that asks for your information and says they will call you back in the order received and within 2 business days. Since its Friday, and our cruise is Monday, there is only a few hours left in the day today for them to call me back. Will definitely take it if they call me but not disappointed if they don't. Looking forward to our Caribe balcony. I'll keep you posted if I hear back from Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyers1976 Posted January 3, 2020 #10 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I got that email too. So, if the cruise is sold out, how are there cabins to move to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last minute cancellations maybe? They will try to fill every cabin if they can. Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Plaza deck cabins are a great location. I like the plaza deck cabins. But on plaza, the upper berths are mounted on the walls, and are quite intrusive. Additionally, as you go further forward, there isn't enough width for two nightstands, so there is a single one that is wider than normal. This is fine if you have twin beds. If you have a queen bed with an aisle on each side, you can not open the drawers in the nightstand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare geoherb Posted January 6, 2020 #16 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I thought that's a move-down offer instead of a move-over offer. You'll still be taking the cruise either way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mevs904 Posted January 6, 2020 #17 Share Posted January 6, 2020 We’re on the Crown on January 26 and we’re dying to hear how this works out for the OP. We received three offers for our August, 2019 Regal Baltic cruise (one Move Over and two Move Down), but didn’t take any of them. We were too interested in taking the cruise. The Caribbean, however, is a different story. We would certainly be interested in accepting an offer for this cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tourismtessy Posted January 17, 2020 Author #19 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I never received a call back from Princess so we were in our Caribe balcony for the cruise. Just got back yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed our time onboard and were happy to have been in our balcony cabin. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expat Cruise Posted January 17, 2020 #20 Share Posted January 17, 2020 With these offers you really do not have time to debate and post here. You need to take the offer or not take the offer as soon as you get it. Princess is making lots of calls and offers and it is only valid until someone else says yes to this offer.
