e71465 Posted October 6, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 6, 2013 We're booked on the Crown and we have noticed that there are a lot of empty mid-aft balcony cabins mostly on deck 10 and some on deck 11. It just seems odd to us that there are so many empty cabins. I wonder why they haven't upgraded some of the interior and ocean view cabins? I won't mind not having to wait in lines or maybe there won't be as many chair hogs but I do feel sorry for the staff who won't be making as much in tips! Does anyone else think that's odd that they haven't given upgrades to get the ship to full capacity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrysalis Posted October 6, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Still two months away....lots of time to fill the ship, and it will likely sail full or very close to full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simok99 Posted October 6, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Deck10is Caribe, these are always the last ones to go as they are the most expensive cabins due to larger Balcony, don't worry you won't be on your own.

The ones in the middle are Cat B1 and B2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e71465 Posted October 6, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted October 6, 2013 We booked 3 rooms on the Caribe deck well over a year ago and I have been watching for price drops daily! So, I noticed only two rooms have sold aft of us in our category! I like a full ship, don't ask me why but I do! That means more people for me to talk too! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogof1 Posted October 6, 2013 #6 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Maybe they are going to refurbish some of the cabins so not for sale?.??? No idea really but the ship certainly needs some work doing to freshen it up. Just spent 3weeks on it and it is very tired looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinChris Posted October 6, 2013 #7 Share Posted October 6, 2013 That is one of the lowest demand weeks of the year. It will fill and the yield management system will upgrade folks if necessary to fill the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea really but the ship certainly needs some work doing to freshen it up. Just spent 3weeks on it and it is very tired looking. I was worried about the ship looking a little tired. I hope you had an awesome 3 weeks despite the ship needing to be freshened up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovevacadays Posted October 7, 2013 #9 Share Posted October 7, 2013 The first couple of weeks in December can be slow for bookings. Not to worry. Princess will have whatever sales they need to have to fill those cabins. The revenue from onboard expenses will make up for having to sell cabins at a lower than typical price. Give it some time, you will see cabins start to fill up as Princess releases special deals.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess does a pretty good job of filling their ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
