Rare Cruise Raider Posted June 26 #326 Share Posted June 26 51 minutes ago, PescadoAmarillo said: This is an excellent idea. And it encourages well traveled Elites, who, if some here are to be believed, don’t spend money on anything extra on a cruise, to do so. In fact, if Princess ever wanted to add higher loyalty levels (yes, I know, they don’t), they could make the upgrade for free for those above 1000 days or so. Now, that would be something to strive for! I know Celebrity gives access to Micheal’s club after they reach Zenith level. Maybe that’s a thing of the past but it is a wonderful perk with access much the same as the concierge on the Royal class ships on Princess for those in full suites.

Don't hold your breath, They thought the price of a piece of chocolate was to expensive to include with the basic fare, 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccheng6401 Posted June 26 #328 Share Posted June 26 I noticed that Princess raised the price of many cruises today. Not just this year but next year too. I understand the increased price of the cruises departing between 8/1 and 12/1, but why next year? Anyone know the reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare HaveDogWillTravel Posted June 26 #339 Share Posted June 26 On 6/25/2024 at 11:18 AM, PescadoAmarillo said: We actually have a box in the basement and a smaller box under the kitchen island of mini gin bottles, and they are all at least three years old and, in fact, starting to evaporate in the bottles. We used to bring home gin thinking we’d drink it or serve it to others, but it just doesn’t happen. We now just give the minibar items away, but even that’s harder because so many people purchase drink packages. But if we can find someone who drives to the port, they’ll often take them home with them. In general, the minibar is really quite a PITA to get rid of and creates work on our part and even more work on Princess’s part to handle. We have Princess parties. We put the little bottles in a bucket of ice. Set the table with Princess coasters, napkins, those cardboard cup toppers and pass the sodas and little bottles around. It’s a blast. We all talk about our past cruises and what we have coming up and more often than not somebody books something so we can sail together. It’s a blast. 10 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also raised the price on our August 2026 15 day TA from Copenhagen to Boston that we booked two weeks ago. Went up $1800 for the two of us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare azbirdmom Posted June 26 #343 Share Posted June 26 (edited) There's definitely some issues with the Princess website pricing. This is what I see for October 2024 cruises on the Sun. The $0 for the first one is correct (casino comp) but the next two cruises are wacky. When I click in the suite price is nowhere need that high. Wonder if they are tinkering around before the July 1 pricing changes. Wish they would stop!! Edited June 26 by azbirdmom 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCX22 Posted June 27 #345 Share Posted June 27 Given Princess' IT track record, I have a hunch the Princess website will be glitchy for the next few days (weeks) as they transition the website to reflect the new inclusive pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I think that's the reason why the prices are higher now! The website is showing taxes & fees included fares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare azbirdmom Posted June 27 #348 Share Posted June 27 (edited) Listening to the Carmen Roig webinar now. The rep for this promo just confirmed that it is indeed both cruise credits AND days that will be doubled. Edited June 27 by azbirdmom 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many cabins are still available ? Often prices change due to supply and demand. We generally book around 2 years out and usually notice that on popular itineraries prices tend to rise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would the cruise count 4x for solo passengers but only 2x when travelling with another person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
