remydiva Posted July 21, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 21, 2014 It seems to me that often when Ii am online at princess.com, and I am 'cruising' looking for a deal, an itinerary or a dream, I get THIS message under the pricing Pricing is currently not available for this date or the selected cabin type. Please try a different departure date, cabin type or check back later. You may also call 1-800-774-6237 for further details. Has anyone ever kept track whether or not this means : 1. just regular 'maintenance' of a certain cruise (this is not a message that is throughout the website...just on a couple of cruises or dates) OR 2. does the price DROP or offers change when these cruises prices do become available for viewing?? seems to be happening more and more often IMHO so just wondering :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love.II.Cruise Posted July 21, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I've seen that often, but I've never seen a price drop after it comes back up. But perhaps I'm looking at different itineraries than you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted July 21, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Indicates a sold out cruise most of the time, and/or site maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Flyer Posted July 21, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I've never found such messages to have a correlation to price drops but that certainly doesn't mean there isn't one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamloops50 Posted July 21, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Could also mean that they are changing some cruises around. They did that to the Sapphire last year when they changed to move the Sapphire to Asia.

Colo Cruiser Posted July 21, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 21, 2014 In other words maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted July 21, 2014 #7 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Indicates a sold out cruise most of the time, and/or site maintenance. Agree. Or it means the sailing is no longer offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latebloomer56 Posted July 21, 2014 #8 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Was thinking of changing back to a mini and got this message for Pacific Princess for all 3 dates left this month. Called Princess they said the trips were all sold out. Just as well it was just a momentary panic attack booking a balcony. TA said I will not be happy with this size. Little she knows I am happy with anything as long as I'm at sea, no cooking, cleaning or making the bed. What's to be unhappy about :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partybarbie Posted July 21, 2014 #9 Share Posted July 21, 2014 In my experience this message means that the cruise has sold out. If pricing does reappear, it's significantly higher than previous pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonbeam Posted July 21, 2014 #10 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Typically it means (as noted) the cruise is sold out or approaching sold out and they either have closed it or need to balance out the GTYs to see what is available before reopening it. A price drop is not likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billco Posted July 21, 2014 #11 Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) If it is a cruise with several segments, it can mean Princess is holding back cabins as the other segments fill. For example, a transatlantic cruise with embarkation in Copenhagen, Berlin, and St. Petersburg or a Panama Canal cruise with embarkation in Vancouver, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. While trying to book one segment might show most or all cabins not available or sold out, it might just mean they are held for the other segments.

victory2020 Posted July 22, 2014 #12 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I've seen it many times...........maybe they're assigning cabins for the reservations with no room numbers or they're assessing inventory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
