B2b - Disc. for 2 "legs"?? Princess changes their mind???

[GottoCruise]

I would appreciate hearing from some who has booked b2b cruises?

 

Any Princess discount for booking 2 legs?

 

I recently booked 2 sailings through Princess and was given a receipt with $500 discount pp.for bookng 2 legs....now, when my friend calls for the same - she is told there is NO discount for bookings 2 legs? and the Rep says ---MAYBE in the future there will be???

 

This is only a week after bookings opened and this is for 2007 sailings. :eek:

 

Is it likely Princess has ALREADY raised rates on these sailings because they are booking so well already :eek: :eek:

 

Wow! What a difference 2007 rates vs. 2006 rates..........(never even mind 2005 rates!) A good reason to book early??.........:D

It could be the discount was capacity controlled, i.e., only so many discounts per sailing? But that seems a tad unlikely this far out?

 

We once booked a b2b and even though the brochure said that by booking a b2b you would get a 2 cat. upgrade, when we called Princess, "That offer was not available."

 

Like you, when we first see a deal we jump on it - after all, booking 18-24 months out, you can always cancel and re-book if something beter comes along :)

I have seen Princess put out offers for these kinds of discounts and they've always been 'time-sensitive.' As in "Book x cruise and y cruise before z date, and get a $ discount."

Yes. That's exactly how it works. It seems like sometimes rates for cruises are more volatile than hotel rates in Las Vegas. :)
