rowrow Posted July 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 20, 2017 The Princess web site shows that all the SA8 CruiseTours for 2018, cruise first northbound, are all "Sold Out", apart from one in May. Does that sound reasonable from those of you with previous years experience with such tour? Or maybe a glitch in the Princess system/website. I can check direct with Princess but their local consultant will probably look at the same website and confirm what's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF - retired RRT Posted July 20, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Never done it, but I'll take a guess for the reasons. 1) popular 2) limited availability (X number of passengers for very few slots). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have done it twice, very popular, sells out fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted July 21, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 21, 2017 If you find a tour you like, get on a waitlist if they are still taking names for it. Whether on a waitlist or not, check daily for a cancellation that opens up a place for you and if one appears, book it immediately. If you use a TA, you can transfer the booking to a TA if you make the booking with Princess. Just do not delay in getting that available spot while waiting to be able to contact a TA in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccergang Posted July 21, 2017 #5 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Thanks to Caribill and his recommendation, we did the connoisseur tour this past June. We had previously been to Alaska 4 times, but this was the best ever. Get on that waitlist quickly!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinfool Posted July 21, 2017 #6 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Perhaps large TAs have blocked them for their own agencies. Our Sunday travel section often has ads for cruisetours at unbelievable prices (that is...HIGH). I am thinking a TA gets a hefty commission on a Cruisetour sale.
