Rare dickinson Posted July 23, 2016 #3 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Don't know what phone # you are calling. I called 800 Princess. Pressing 1 was for travel agents. I pressed to book a cruise. Rep said no separate number for EZ Air but she put me in hold to contact them. Said no problems but they will look into it. She thinks website may give you error because you are in UK not US or Canada so may not recognize your booking. She also suggested if you can contact a friend or family member to call on your behalf and tell them what you want to do maybe they can look into it further. Also said website does have a chat feature. Maybe that could help. Let us know what happens. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamloops50 Posted July 23, 2016 #4 Share Posted July 23, 2016 There is a #800 for airline issues when enroute to a cruise . It is manned 24 hrs a day all year round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moki'smommy Posted July 23, 2016 #5 Share Posted July 23, 2016 There is a #800 for airline issues when enroute to a cruise . It is manned 24 hrs a day all year round. This number is not for use in purchasing air though. It is for emergency or delay issues while traveling. OP is trying to purchase air tickets.

OP is trying to purchase air tickets. OP is in the UK, doubt that 800# of much use. Is the air desk even open on the weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpeabody Posted July 23, 2016 #7 Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) I learned recently that the Princess reservationists handle customer EZ air questions/ issues, The customer typically does not have access to the so called Air Department. I located this non 800 # (661) 753-0000 country code 1 first probably from the UK. Wishing the OP good luck.

dbeckett Posted July 23, 2016 #8 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I find it annoying that the Princess.com website assumes everyone looking at it is in North America so the numbers are 1-800. When booking a recent cruise I needed to call with a question and thought great finally a call to Princess that is a freebie (as it was in Canada) but got the message that it couldn't be connected so then I knew it wasn't applicable to the UK. Calls to Princess over here aren't free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruisey Posted July 23, 2016 Author #9 Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) Dialed the international code before the 800 we usually dial in North America. Gave the agent details including credit card she could not get it to book.she then went through to EZ air and they found out they had just changed the price $100 USA.Well it was cheaper booking direct with the airline so that is what I have done.It is only a one way direct flight the ship will be returning to Vancouver from Sydney.Honestly for a price to suddenly change for EZ but not on the Airlines website ..........:confused: THank you everybody for your inputs Heather:) Edited July 23, 2016 by kruisey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin' Chick Posted July 23, 2016 #10 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I don't know if this is relevant for any trouble with getting through to Princess HQs today, but a major brush fire broke out just miles away yesterday afternoon, by the 14 freeway (Princess HQ is really nearer to the I-5 but anyone working today may have not been able to get to work if they live closer to the origin, especially if they had to evacuate). The fire reached 11,000 acres by noon today. It's probably a good 17 miles away from us as the crow flies, but the air quality is very poor here from all the smoke and ash, so it must be absolutely horrendous in the Santa Clarita valley.
