Kruzin Karen Posted February 29, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) I just booked a Land and Sea Alaska trip in September, 2016 for $1. Technically $2, as there are 2 of us. One day only "Leap Day" sale, You can't do it online, you have to call. I think the call center will be busy today! They are also honoring their Twice as Nice Sale, in addition. Whoops! I may be wrong about having to call in; sorry all! Edited February 29, 2016 by Kruzin Karen new information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kruzin Karen Posted February 29, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Wow. My PVP told us herself about an hour ago that we had to call in. I'm losing confidence in my PVP if that's not true. There have been other incidents... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been other incidents... I just booked online with my online TA as well, in fact that's where I heard about this...sounds like your PVP is just trying to secure that commission for themselves vice letting you get the best price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BSR Posted February 29, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I just booked my first cruise with Princess and got the $1 deposit along with the Twice as Nice OBC promotion. Looking forward to sailing on Princess.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working 2 Cruise Posted February 29, 2016 #8 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I booked 3 cruises since I'm out of FCCs... :( Alaska, Caribbean and Mexico! I did it all online. Then, as time gets closer, I will transfer the bookings to my TA. I also got the Twice as Nice sale on all 3 bookings. Win-Win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working 2 Cruise Posted February 29, 2016 #10 Share Posted February 29, 2016 How long do you have to transfer a booking to a TA? Before final payment is due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronandannette Posted February 29, 2016 #11 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I booked on-line just now for a California Coastal this fall on $1 deposit and Twice-as-Nice OBC! Really great but the price was actually pretty high and I expect they will come down some between now and final payment. Anybody know how making cabin changes/taking price reductions will affect the promotional OBC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron the Rev Posted February 29, 2016 #12 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Im happy for all you guys. HOWEVER, we in Australia cant get it at all. Not happy. Ditto in the UK. To me it's a bit unfair as a lot of people will book lots of cruises at a buck a time then cancel those they don't want at the last minute.:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetiredNTraveling Posted February 29, 2016 #16 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Does anyone know if you book a cruise could you transfer that to a cruise that is not yet available for booking? The 2016 Oct. 28 Day H,S,T is available but we want the 2017 Oct. 28 day Haw, Sam, Tahiti which won't be available until this coming May. Just trying to save money everywhere I can.

cruzsnooze Posted February 29, 2016 #21 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Im happy for all you guys. HOWEVER, we in Australia cant get it at all. Not happy. Not to worry, it doesn't change the price of the cruise it's just a lure with no real value. All deposits are refundable up to final payment.

Princess' vacation planners no longer get commission for cruises you book online. They only get commission if you call them directly and book your cruise.

Doug R. Posted March 1, 2016 #24 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Booked the Crown Princess Eastern Caribbean 8 day out of Ft Lauderdale March 2017 on this $1 deposit per person promotion. My wife was very proud that she booked it with the only questions being about Cabin location and insurance. I have done all previous travel arrangements. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
