sunsetme Posted September 25, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I was looking at Royal Princess South America for Feb 21 14 days. This segment is sold out but there is still availability on the longer segments of this cruise. Does Princess ever waitlist? Also what is the possibility cabins will be released if the longer segment is not selling well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted September 25, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I would be keeping an eye on the final payment date, and try again. Maybe call to see if they will release some cabins on the longer segments for the shorter cruise. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCC retired Posted September 25, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 25, 2018 If you have a Good TA with Princess connections , they can make things happen for you . Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted September 25, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Yes to waitlist, yes to cabins becoming available although I wouldn’t wait for that. A good TA can work magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted September 25, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Yes you can waitlist unless they have closed the waitlist. Call Princess to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfields1814 Posted September 26, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I am on that cruise for the full 49 days. There have been a couple of cancellations on our roll call already. One was today. I don't know what segments. I expect a more cancellations as final payment date comes closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also on that 49 day cruise and paid the final invoice yesterday, last day to pay is 5th October, our agent likes to get it in a week early in case of problems with credit card for a high amount so client can negotiate with bank to approve payment. This cruise is a big chunk of change and I can see quite a few folk having second thoughts when it comes to coughing up that much in one hit. Anyway now I have paid the cost will come down dramatically, always happens. So you can look for a bargain next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisin1982 Posted September 26, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 26, 2018 What’s the cost for 49 day cruise. Does it include everything like a normal cruise like meals. Wonder what a drink package would cost Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what a drink package would cost Sent from my iPhone using Forums It is a normal cruise just longer than most. Booze package would be horrific, like $4000 each. We got what we think was a decent deal on the cruise at $3400 or so each inc taxes, about $70 per diem, but no OBC of any kind. And that is the cheapest inside guarantee cabin.

Knickearth Posted September 27, 2018 #11 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I would check weekly. I know after a certain time Princess requires agents to return unsold cabins. Also a huge chance that people will end up cancelling due to a variety of reasons. Keep checking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s no as bad as I thought. Did you get board on a 49 day cruise how many sea days. I’m sure you have to do laundry a few times. With everything looking around 12,000 for a couple.
