When you are on the Princess site and select a cabin (R-210; for example) and move to the next screen, you have placed a temp hold on that cabin. Even if you do not book or reserve using the site, the moment you select R-210; and move to see pricing or see what’s next, R210 will disappear from available inventory. I blocked myself once overnight and almost lost a specific cabin at a TA group rate (which was better than the Princess site rate). That cabin was available again the next morning as I had not reserved using the Princess site. You are “holding a cabin” for a short time every time you select one while playing with the web site. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly - I prefer agents who discount because the price is off the cost up front. You don't have to wait for a bonus store card. Got it, thanks. Funny thing, I followed a couple of links from CC mail and the links went to different TA's then one TA went straight to Princess. One of the links was a call for quote and did not show the E411 cabin I have referred to earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all sites show all available cabins but travel agents can input the data in to see if it is available. I would ask for recommendations for agents on your next trip.
