Tedferg Posted June 12, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Why do transfers have to be booked through TA and why does website not list what transfers are available? Even if we have to contact TA, it would be nice to know what is available and the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Hag Posted June 12, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I've mostly seen transfers available to book in Personalizer after I book a cruise. Oddly, it's "mostly" rather than "always." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Personalizer just says to contact TA, does not show what is available. First and probably last time I use a Big Box TA, it is hours long wait on phone to speak to them. Often says, 'Too busy, try later'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dog Posted June 12, 2022 #5 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Go to princess website. Do a mock booking. It will give you a choice for transfers, PVP etc. do not pay. this way you can price it if you use a travel agent you have them book transfers.

Live Chat told me there were no such transfers. BTW I do see train and bus options for Quebec to Montreal. Might be nicer than a 5 1/2 wait at Newark 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'd rather spend time on a train than hanging out at the airport. 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partybarbie Posted June 12, 2022 #8 Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) Are you inquiring about the transfers from Seattle to Vancouver? If so, the cost is $158, round trip. You will need to book through your TA. There’s no way to do it yourself. I had the Future Cruise Consultant on the Ruby do it for me. Saw you updated post. Guessing you will have to call.

memoak Posted June 12, 2022 #9 Share Posted June 12, 2022 We always see the transfers in the travel summary of the personalizer Just to note we book through our PVP or the Princess casino department Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did that and had to go all the way to passenger information etc. Then it showed me New York and Quebec transfers with cost, thanks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the same applies when you want to know Princess Hotel options, you need to ask TA. I understand that PCL wants any extras to be booked by TA, but it would be logical to show details on website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partybarbie Posted June 12, 2022 #12 Share Posted June 12, 2022 That’s good you were able to do that. I was thinking you were already booked on the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clueless2 Posted June 12, 2022 #13 Share Posted June 12, 2022 They let you book your own flights thru EZAir but not transfers. The only reason I can think of is the TA gets a commission on the transfers but not EZAir. Still very strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are indeed already booked, as it happens, I got my answer from Live Chat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dog Posted June 12, 2022 #16 Share Posted June 12, 2022 The Princess books I get in the mail have the hotels they use. Just noticed that in the Alaska one I got this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
