n2chocola8 Posted July 30, 2004 #56 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Caroline, Nita and I have decided to go with early seating (traditional). We are under the impression that even though we wanted this we can still choose to go to another restraurant when we want. Is that right? What is everyone else doing for dining selections? If most of us decide to do traditional will we be able to sit together? Thanks, Debbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pamwinn Posted August 8, 2004 #62 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Caroline, I still have a question because I don't understand how the group pricing works. If I book a cabin with the group and princess has a special before final payment and i see I could book a cabin for less than the group price, will my cabin price be reduced? I am not talking about a reduction in group pricing. Just a reduction in price available to anyone who books. Thanks, Pam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Caroline Posted August 9, 2004 Author #63 Share Posted August 9, 2004 If Princess reduces group rates our rate will be be reduced; however if someone advertises a lesser price for the cruise they will not.. if you need clarification on this don't hesitate to call Kevin at Crucon.. he's really the "last word" on this ...800 493-6609.

cyndepet Posted September 11, 2004 #70 Share Posted September 11, 2004 This group cruise fits right into the time frame I was looking for! I definitely wanted Seattle RT - this one is for my mom and I. I haven't cruised on Princess yet but really look forward to trying a new line. I'll definitely have to give Kevin a call on Monday. Does anyone know if we can book a guarantee category on a group cruise, or do you have to select a cabin? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
