cruzsnooze Posted June 25, 2022 #51 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I can get as far as seeing the fares for the categories but not into the page to pick a cabin, it has an error message. Not very conducive to Princess getting deposits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whataboutport Posted June 25, 2022 #52 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I can get to cabin selection but entire sections say sold out on my sailing when on my TA's website they are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ceilidh1 Posted June 25, 2022 #53 Share Posted June 25, 2022 The Princess site is still a mess. It's been 3 days for me now. I can easily see availability/pricing/book a cabin on Polar (TA booking site) but can't get past cabin selection on the consumer site. As a TA I generally look at the consumer site first as it is far more searchable/user friendly than the booking engine. Once I narrow down the sailings, I then go into Polar...does no one at Princess realise this is a problem? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live Chat just says the site is "being updated" and they have no information regarding when it will be fixed. Princess IT has always been bad but this is a new low even for them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess IT has always been bad but this is a new low even for them. I'm impressed you can get through to live chat--when I've tried to it just spins for hours and hours. It's especially irritating because two cruises I have booked dropped in price on the Princess site, but I can't ask for an adjustment because the price doesn't show on any TA site. There were also two other cruise I might have sprung for if I'd been actually able to book them. On the positive side, Princess is the only cruise line (other than Carnival) that lets me search for solo fares easily, ranked by price, which helps me persevere with them, despite the frequent failings of their website and app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone had any luck calling Princess to book cruises with THIS ^ error message? There are two I've been trying to secure for days.

milolii Posted June 25, 2022 #59 Share Posted June 25, 2022 My CVP did secure my booking on the Royal from San Francisco. She mentioned her supervisor secured the booking. I wasn’t able to to chat with her as we missed each other yesterday so I don’t have any further information. The crusie is listed in my account. It is a fantastic price, with a small deposit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebeluga Posted June 25, 2022 #61 Share Posted June 25, 2022 My CVP booked a coastal cruise out of LA for me but was not with the advertised fare that I saw on the website. Via email, she said she sent it to CR for protection. I don't know what that means. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called and they booked both cruises for me. One fare was $20pp higher than online. The other was $100pp higher.

Since we are not allowed to see any information, we can't search book or look for fare reductions or cabin availability. BTW, I did try a well known major website and for what I was looking for it showed no availability in this cabin category for every category and for every date I tried or guarantee only when it got to picking a cabin point. So there is likely some tie there back to Princess' issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GottaLuvCruising Posted June 25, 2022 #66 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Had to call to book two cruises because website is wonky. I'm holding $2,600 in Princess gift cards (our 50th anniversary) and CANNOT post payments or check balances. I'll try again tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milolii Posted June 27, 2022 #75 Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) I talked to my CVP this morning. She said the pricing is wrong, hence the issues. You can call and secure a booking, the price difference isn’t that much. At least this was the case for me, my cruise is a great deal.
