msmoger Posted September 10, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) I received a final payment notice from my TA for a 1/20/2024 cruise (16 Days - SA and Antarctica). The payment date in the email is 9/22/2023, 120 days in advance. Has final payment changed from 90 days? Of course I'll check withy TA on Monday but I was just wondering if there has been a change. I haven't seen anything mentioned here and I don't see it on the Princess website. Thanks, Edited September 10, 2023 by msmoger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyVeteran Posted September 10, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 10, 2023 A final payment notice from a TA will often have an earlier date than from Princess, but 30 days earlier may be a little much. The TA wants to get the funds in enough time to make sure Princess receives them by their final payment date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted September 10, 2023 #4 Share Posted September 10, 2023 I would check the information on the Princess booking confirmation passenger copy. Final payment date is printed there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing in this instance the email was automatically (and perhaps incorrectly) generated. I’ll talk to her tomorrow. I was just curious if something had changed.

Thanks Certain promotions have earlier final payment dates. Happen to book an on board 50% off special for a 18 day sailing and the final payment was 120 days not 90 as it should be if booked on the Princess website. My TA asked Princess about the discrepancy and was told it was a condition of the promo. Friends booked an 18 day sailing for Dec 1 this year from that 90 day ticker agency and also, final payment was 120 days instead of 90, so even though Princess website says 6-24 days should be 90, there are exceptions and first you should have been made aware, so you can decide if you will accept or keep looking.

Other than the Plus package I don't see this as a promotional fare, but it's really not a huge deal. Thanks for the tip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare tetleytea Posted September 11, 2023 #8 Share Posted September 11, 2023 The agent I worked with from here on CC said that she likes to leave in a little guard-band time, because sometimes there are hiccups in the payment process. But 30 days seems like an awful lot of guard-band time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
