March 2023 - Book current 25% promotion or wait

[OKCruiseMan]

Don't think Princess has a low rate guarantee.  Should we book this week or wait for the next promotion???

Book it now and get the cabin and location you want.   Keep checking back for price changes and if the price drops have your travel agent rebook with the lower price. No guarantee the prices will drop but the prices can always go up.

Never wait.  Book now with a deposit and then watch for fare drops and re-fare if you see a better deal.

I just booked an April with the "3rd and 4th Guests Sail Free" promo.  If the price goes down, I will try to re-fare, but with the third person being free as well as a free location upgrade, I was able to get a great mid-ship Mini with the largest balcony for a very good price.  I seriously doubt that I will do better in the next 9 months. If I had waited, all the extended balconies could have been gone, I am sure.

We have also booked a cruise for March. I'm happy with my current pricing, but I can always re-book if I see a price drop.

Is re-fare a cancel before 90 days and rebooking?

We just took advantage of a delightful price drop on our 2023 sailing courtesy of that sale 🙂

When booking with princess on the website directly, how does re-fare work?

Way to go!!!  Just checked our 9 booked cruises, no price drops for us.  🥺

Edit: I also have FCC and would be booking through the Princess site.

You'll have to call Princess, or use the Live Chat, and request the re-fare. 

 

Lately, lots of lower fares require a new booking and cancellation of your existing booking.  This can cause a loss of existing perks.

I re-checked fares today and we saved $335 pp on our Nov '23 Enchanted TA!
