oratheeexplorer Posted April 21, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Just thought I would share this..... Right now on the Princess website......comparing Alaska cruisetours..... AB3 10 day cruisetour with southbound voyage of the glaciers on the Sapphire with tour starting August 1st and cruise August 4th.....BB cabin category...$6766 before taxes & fees... VB4 11 day cruisetour all of the above, exactly the same except leaving July 31st (staying 1 more night at McKinley Lodge)....BB cabin category....$4348 before taxes & fees..... So the 11 day is the same itinerary, with 1 more day, and is $2418 LESS than the 10 day. Anyone else shaking their heads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted April 21, 2012 #2 Share Posted April 21, 2012 The more expensive tour is probably (almost) full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oratheeexplorer Posted April 21, 2012 Author #3 Share Posted April 21, 2012 The more expensive tour is probably (almost) full. Both of these tours have showed "sold out" recently and now are showing pricing again. We were on the 10 day one and switched to the 11 day when the 11 day was $1600 cheaper.....now the 10 day has gone up another $818, and is now $2418 more than the 11 day. Kind of crazy that 1 more day is $2418 less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted April 21, 2012 #4 Share Posted April 21, 2012 It is supply and demand. Nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highheel girl Posted April 21, 2012 #6 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Better grab it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Woobstr112G Posted April 21, 2012 #7 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Supply & demand. That's why it's important to book early. Availibility usually changes just before final payment date. On very popular itineraries, any additional available cabins are usually $$$$$..... Bob Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted April 21, 2012 #8 Share Posted April 21, 2012 It's your gain! As others have said, it's supply and demand; the 11 night has more availability, so the price dropped. Enjoy!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovevacadays Posted April 22, 2012 #9 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Truly supply and demand. It appears one sailing is definitely doing better than the other. Find a Travel Agent that does high volume Princess booking and you might see completely different pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
