opti Posted May 30, 2013 #1 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Hi, I have just tried to book a Princess Black Sea cruise with Vacations to Go at $1299 for an Oceanview only to be told that they cannot accept UK bookings. Can you explain why you are offering the same cruise at £ 1699 to UK customers. [B] This is twice the price!![/B] Needless to say I will not be going!. I suggest all UK customers boycott Princess until we get price equality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antsp Posted May 31, 2013 #4 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I think she was trying to book on the Royal, but i guess its just a general princess cruises question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purples Posted June 14, 2013 #5 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Totally agree - the fare prices should be the same worldwide - not fair that some passengers pay less than half what others do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEXASMUNK Posted October 19, 2013 #9 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Your government has so many consumer protection law that cruise lines have to build in additional fund to protect themselves. So your protection has to be paid by someone......you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch1 Posted October 20, 2013 #10 Share Posted October 20, 2013 The situation is the same for us Aussies as well....we cannot book through US agents either. We get fleeced the same way, especially in the OBC department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
