Yeah Kelly, I guess we could classify that as an exteme makeover!! hee hee.. I wonder if we should start a "jeans in the dining room" thread on the Princess board?! Or how 'bout a booze smuggling thread? Nah... we'll just show 'em we know how to party but we have class too! [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Pam, I've gotta admit it sounds awfully tempting after seeing all those pictures. Unfortunately, we're not up to twice a year cruising just yet, and we usually cruise with the family in May. But I'll keep it in mind just in case we hit the lottery or something! [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

[PammyHound]

I want to thank you for all your patience, I don't have all the info just yet but I do have a bone to toss...(punn intended)

The date is officially set in stone for 9/17/05. As you know, we also looked at 10/15 but the ammenitiy points (how you get your group perks) were not as good and the pricing for groups was substanially higher.

As you know, Princess does not do the $25pp deposits that we have enjoyed having on Carnival and RCI. But ... I think what they have given us is BETTER!!! When booking with a $25pp deposit, all you could book was a guarentee meaning you were at the mercy of the cruiseline to select your cabin. If you wanted to select your cabin, you'd have to put the full $250pp down which was $500 for a double occupancy cabin.

With Princess, we will be able to book with only a $100 per person deposit AND we will be able to select a specific cabin number at the time of booking! How amazing is that!! Right now they have set up two weeks for us to book at the reduced deposit: May 24th- 28th and June 21st - 25th. Basically the last week of May and June. Crucon is still negotiating to open up the $100pp deposit for additional booking times but let's not count on it as it's not guaranteed.

Also, if you book during those two specific weeks, you will also get a discount coupon book that will be in your cabin upon check in. I am told that the coupon book has some great discounts in it but they're highly controled so they don't even send them out with the documents, they only put them in the cabins according to booking numbers.

They are putting the finish touches on the pricing, all I am told is that it is really, Really, REALLY good so be ready to book next week! You'll have a week to figure out what cabin you want.
But, besides great pricing we will be getting a cocktail party AND....
$100 SHIPBOARD CREDIT PER CABIN!!!!!!!
