Princess Single Complaint..any suggestions?

[Eddie4Paws]

Hi! I'm hoping to get some input, as this is the first time I've cruised solo. I'm booked on the Sun Princess December 12, 2004 10 night Eastern Caribbean. I've made my arrangements through Travelocity, making a deposit for a category JJ inside. Two nights ago I got a newsletter from the Princess Captain's Circle, offering a deal for previous Princess cruisers, of paying for a category EE ocean view stateroom and getting an automatic upgrade to a BD balcony cabin. I contacted Travelocity, and they told me that I needed to get the promotion code from Princess (there was none on the special offer). After speaking with 3 different agents at Princess (which took 2 days), I was told that at as single passenger, this promotion was not available to me! Princess also spoke with the agent at Travelocity (who is very helpful) and told her the same thing.

This seems like a discriminatory action against single travelers, as I'm willing to pay the upgraded single supplement. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can pursue this?

Thanks!

Hi...you might want to post this question on the Princess Board as well. Maybe they can help.
I sail solo quite often...not sure what to tell you though... [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif[/img] we single people seem to be the bad target.
Good luck with your search though[img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img].
