My agent usually refares  If, not can cancel and rebook, today they are the same price and have cabins available. 
 

With Best Ever Sale plus $200 off air, it will not be worth checking the cruise price after this Sale as we would loose all the perks and have to take present perks.   I think it is the first time Princess has offered all 3 perks together.

So you already have the $200 off air attached to your BSE booking?

When I booked these cruises on the Sky in Oct, there were no perks attached to either cruises.  Best Ever Sale came along, had the perks added.  Next week, the Best Ever Sale Europe is coming out, hopefully my agent can get the $200 off perk added.

Agreed. I'll ask PVP if it works to cancel and rebook as my TA Spanish voyage is there (N115N)

[rocklinmom]

It will depend on what the fares do next week.  Hopefully ours will either stay the same or hopefully go down a bit.  Current fares are super high though so I'm not too optimistic.

Might anyone have any tips for me---First time cruising Princess.  The cruise I'm looking at is on the list for the Europe on Sale sale.  I was going to book today, but when I saw the sale, I believe it may save me some money.  However, the rooms I want are selling out.  I don't guess I can do a week's hold.  Can I take my chances for a few days and hold it for a few days before the sale or something?  Should I book the room I want now and try to do a re-fare during the Europe on Sale?  

 

Thanks for any tips you can provide!

[jangor]

Our Princess Cruise gent offered us this in addition to the deal we already had, but both of us would have to take it and since my husband does not drink alcohol, it was not worth it for us.

 In the USA you can book and then refare later to a better fare and/or promo (anytime up until final payment). So if you are from the USA then yes you could book now and then refare during the promo if it ends up being a better deal for you. For other regions it can be different.

we've re-fared many times after final payment … j/s … always when booking direct with Princess ...

[rocklinmom]

Yes some people are able to refare after final payment but it's not typical and not usually easy to do. 

[riffatsea]

We won't know if Princess has raised prices on these cruises involved in the new sale until the 22nd.

No way to tell for sure if the $200 per person airfare deduction will just be lost in a new price that's a few hundred $$s higher than we've already booked!

I recently took the deal and I don't drink alcohol, coffee or tea. I think it is a great deal!

[phabric]

Anybody know how the $200 off works?

 

Normally when you book EzAir, you pick airline/price, then you accept total price.

 

With $200 off, when you get to the total price is the $200 off automatically?

The airfare price that is shown is $200 off (and indicates such).

I tried to do that on past cruise and the problem is that the airfare sale is part of the "new" sale and to get it you would have to cancel and rebook(that is what I was told each time I asked Princess).  Now if your category cabin is still available and you have a refundable deposit and haven't already booked EZair flights, then I would definitely look into it.  In my case, my deposit is refundable, but my stateroom(S7) is no longer available and my airfare that I have already booked is at this date $1276pp more RT!, so $200 off is not so good.  But maybe your TA has the ability to get it as an add on for you.  I would definitely try, but be prepared for a "you have to cancel and rebook" answer.  Good luck!

How does the $200 off work?  I am looking at this lovely April 2021 cruise from Rome to Athens.  I think it is okay to buy the cruise through the travel agent. To get the $200 off, we need to specify Princess EZ Air, and we would choose our flights, and then when would princess buy our plane tickets?  Usually there are such changes in flight schedules.  I am not usually one to buy tickets 15 months before a trip, but I suppose we could.  Previously, we've managed our own flights, but $200 off sounds nice.

This morning I could see prices for every category of cabin and now I can't see prices for any category of cabin.

How could you see flights for April 2021??
