zephyrella14 Posted September 6, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 6, 2014 New cruiser here. I've booked a cruise to Alaska in Aug. 2015 out of San Francisco...only three sailing out of there that month, only by Princess and only one including glacier bay (the one I booked) What are the odds the price will drop before sailing? I'm debating canceling and waiting to book to see if I can get better rate a month or two before sail date. __________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted September 6, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Prices will either drop or they won't. If the price drops before final payment just contact Princess (or your TA if you booked through a TA) and get the new price. It's done all the time.

zephyrella14 Posted September 6, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) Thanks. I'm asking about price drops for this cruise, with this itinerary, AFTER the final payment dates. I'm hoping someone has had experience with this particular cruise. Edited September 6, 2014 by zephyrella14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no answer to your question, it depends on if this particular sailing sells well or if they have extra cabins they need to sell close to sailing date. It all boils down to how much of a gamble do you want to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted September 6, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 6, 2014 You may want to check out the Roll Calls for the SF cruises to Alaska for THIS year. There may be discussion of any price changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shredie Posted September 6, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 6, 2014 You may want to check out the Roll Calls for the SF cruises to Alaska for THIS year. There may be discussion of any price changes. Has anyone begun a Roll Call for this particular cruise you have booked? It's early yet, but perhaps someone has got the ball rolling. People on your roll call are the best source for information about fares, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12grandkids Posted September 6, 2014 #8 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I realize each year is different, but we went to Alaska 5 years ago and this year (30th & 35th anniversary's). Because of the nature of our business, we can not book a cruise in the summer until a month out. Both times we tried to book the Glacier Bay cruise and both times they were completely sold out. I wouldn't risk it if you really want to see Glacier Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted September 6, 2014 #9 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Because there are only 3 sailings and because its out of San Francisco (probably a 10 day right?) It think it will sell out. I believe you are playing with fire by waiting to book this cruise maybe to save a few $$ but most likely not as it will probably go up in price.
