Princess Europe 2015 Announcement

[GweninTX]

I think the website is having issues! Some itineraries and no pricing!

[omega187]

I called Princess. On hold for a few minutes only. Booked what we wanted. Piece of cake. Now, I will call my TA.

Same thing here. On hold for maybe 2 minutes at the most. We're set for Alaska 2015.

Called Princess. Booked the 20 day TA from Houston to Barcelona. Transferred booking to my TA.

Just booked CB from Ft. Lauderdale to Southampton 4/25/2015, got the last window suite (for right now anyway), will probably get off in Dublin. Doin the happy dance!!:D

I wonder why the Spring Transatlantics are much cheaper than the

Fall Transatlantics?

Colder weather in Spring?

Just booked a 7 night Norway in July 2015 and have got the drinks package included Hurrah !

I think it is because people prefer the westbound TAs in the fall because you gain time as you head west. Going the other was, you lose time....

WoooHooo!!!! Just booked a fall TA on the Royal!

[Woobstr112G]

I was just able to do a booking up to the point of making a deposit. Took awhile as the site was being very tempermental. In doing the phantom booking, it was the first time I actually looked at the different fall T/A itineraries. Quite a change imho from years past. The Island has the Venitian Passage but not till November. Another fall T/A for 2015 was not in my plans, but if it was I don't know if I'd book it. The rest of the ships will be making their crossings in September. Kinda strange if you ask me.....

No pricing on OZ website. Not surprising. Always last to get the info here.

A friend of mine did a transatlantic last year (or the year before) on the Pacific or Ocean Princess. They left after Thanksgiving and it was from Rome.

I just booked British Isles for May, 2015, but when I asked about the drink package--was told that yes, it was available, at full price.

 

Wasn't this a promotion (for free or discounted?)? What cruises/categoried does it apply to?

 

Also, I had read that there was an OBC promo--also not available to me? Why bother to book at this early date if no promo/discount/free stuff?

 

Thanks

Just booked the British Isles for August 1, 2015. It wasn't on the web site, but I called and it was available.

We booked the CB for the 7/18 sailing. I inquired about the "free" drink package and Princess USA knew nothing about the offer. I saw the UK prices online and it seems to me that those drink packages are not free but built into the price....

 

I am happy with the price and perks I got :-)

Usually prices are lower when cruises are first announced, there may be exceptions for holiday cruises. On the cruise I booked I wanted the specific window suite but did check the price first and it was comparable to what I paid in '13 for the same suite, same cruise.

I notice when they do have promotions etc, some prices may be higher so you're really not saving much by waiting.

Someone indicated that it was a promo from a TA in the UK. You probably don't want to pay what the British pay for their cruises in order to get the free drink package :)

I am confused - who qualifies for the free drink package?

Haven't seen any confirmation from a North American yet. It appears to be for Brits on Caribbean Princess on all sailings out of Southampton

There is a 9/26/2015 TA on the Emerald leaving from Rome for 21 nights. I booked it. It does more ports in Spain.

Not sure, but I think the free drink package is a UK promotion.
