Princess 40% off summer (2017) sale

Looking for the Princess Crown 8/26/17 Scandinavian sail and saw that it is currently on the 40% off summer sale. My questions are:

 

1. How long has this 40% off sale been on?

 

2. Any idea when Princess may switch to a different sale with onboard credit, etc.? Another words, how often does Princess switch promotion?

 

3. How do I find the pricing history of this cruise to confirm that this 40% off sale is really a big deal good sale that I should just go ahead and snap it?

 

4. Is there any website that tracks the cruise pricing history or trend?

 

5. Is there anyway to find the load factor (cabin occupancy rate) to help make decision whether it is worth to wait for the last minute close-in sale?

The promotion has been going on for awhile now. I want to say at least 2 months. It does however, end April 20th

1. Since March 2

2. Sale ends April 20; next sale isn't announced yet but past history shows there will likely be one in a couple of weeks. Your cruise may or may not be part of the next one.

3. And 4. Yes there is such a site, but we are not allowed to name it. Try google with appropriate key words. But, using said un-named site, a BF for your cruise started at 2099, dropped to 1499, and then 1349 late last year. Crept up to 1449 until this sale and is now at 1199.

5. Not that is publicly available. That sort of information is closely guarded.

Another non-sale sale. Essentially, it offers 40% off a price inflated by 40%... with only a $100 pp deposit (that is non-refundable).

At least 2 months and it ends in 5 days.

 

2. Any idea when Princess may switch to a different sale with onboard credit, etc.? Another words, how often does Princess switch promotion?

Its for real. It worked for us.

 

4. Is there any website that tracks the cruise pricing history or trend?

#5 Bad idea!! Princess cruises routinely sell out.
