johnsuttoncoldfield Posted November 6, 2018 #4 Share Posted November 6, 2018 They are certainly available on the UK site now - have just booked two cruises - in fact the ones I have reserved are already heavily booked it would seem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the prices for balcony and mini suites are becoming closer and closer to higher end lines now. Obviously there’s the opportunity to re-price at a later date but this can only be done once in the UK and not without paying a £50 per person admin fee.

Booked the Sky during the elite day in December & now a year before sailing that’s still the best price. There aren’t many cabins available so I don’t expect a lower price. Supply & demand will determine any price drops but sometimes I’m able to add promotional benefits to my cruise fare.

We’re booked on the Sky too on a European cruise in October 2019. Did manage to save some money by re-pricing a few months ago. Think it was £1,000 in a combination of price reduction and OBC. Have booked the Enchanted now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s great! 👍 We’ve added the 3 for Free benefits to all of our other recent & future cruises but to add it to the Sky would have resulted in a higher net price, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memoak Posted November 6, 2018 #11 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Just booked a TransAtlantic in November 2020 - good location for a CC mini suite and got my casino pricing - however if sip and sail comes back in June we will look at changing to that promo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phabric Posted November 6, 2018 #12 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I just booked New England/Canada for Oct 2020. I called at 9am PST when Princess opened up for Elite and some of the cabins were already taken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No time to call at work and our PVP got us a great cabin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted November 6, 2018 #17 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I called right at 9:00am PST and booked cruises. Groups already had been set up for most of the sailings. Thankfully, the cruises I needed were wide open and I was able to get the specific cabins I needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colo Cruiser Posted November 6, 2018 #19 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Me thinks that many were already sold even before the so called early Elite release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and I don't understand it. Not very happy about it either. My TA tried to book the minute bookings opened, and none of my five cabin choices were available.

Lose the casino pricing but still about a $1000 savings than buying the drink package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knbcruisers Posted November 7, 2018 Author #23 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I have a hold on the Enchanted inaugural, and got my 2nd choice of cabins! I will be finalizing with my TA tomorrow and see if she has any additional discounts. I used my only FCC to book a 7-day California Coastal, so I actually have to put up a deposit. I wish I could switch those up, the Cali cash deposit would be quite bit less I think. I too will be watching for the 3-for free promo and hope to benefit from that.

Horrors! 😟 I thought pricing was pretty reasonable - in fact, cheaper than 2019 - but it didn't include the $250 OBC. I'll be watching for the 3-for-free for next year too and hoping the price doesn't go up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
