Transfer reservation to travel agent

[mediator]

We are going in the Regal Princess for a b2b cruise for Thanksgiving.  I have been watching the December prices and they are dropping a bit. My question is....if  I I dont book b4 I board on the 17th and wait until  I am onboard in case there is some special offer and I decide  to book on board, can it be transferred to my TA, or does the 60 day rule still apply.  In which case I book it now!

Regardless you still must transfer any booking to the TA within 60 days.

Not sure if I understand......

Onboard they can also transfer the booking for you.

If you book now with a Refundable Deposit (RD), then you have flexibility to see what might be on offer.  Really, there is no different specials on board than Princess offers on their website.  In rare instances, there might be some extra OBC for buying and using a FCD immediately with an on-board booking (but it is random and may be specific to certain itineraries).

When you book on board request it be under your TA. A December sailing is already in final payment. Bookings may not be transferred if final payment has been made.

I frequently book cruises after the final payment date. If I see a great price on the Princess website when my TA isn't available, I'll place a hold on it.

Can anyone tell me how long the process takes for the transfer? I sent in the form on Friday and haven't heard back yet (guessing that department isn't in the office over the weekend). Final payment is due in a few days so need to get it done before - do they usually send an email to confirm it's complete?

Check with the TA. When I did this one time, I thought the TA heard from Princess at that time. I didn't get an email.

Apparently, it takes 3 business days for the booking transfer now!

If I understand your question (which was posted in October), you are asking if while on a November cruise (which has now ended) you could book a cruise for this December and transfer it to your TA.

 

Although the question is moot now, when you book a cruise that is past final payment date while you are on the ship, you pay in full for that cruise immediately and thus it cannot be transferred to a TA.

You can't transfer if full payment is made.

They rarely ever tell you or the TA when the transfer has been made.  Once in a blue moon, the TA will get the booking sent to them but usually, you have to call in to find out.  Try after 3 days.

We've received that when it's been transferred.  Also, sometimes Princess will email me and my Travel Agent the booking confirmation, but after some issues a year ago, we now book direct

Count yourself lucky if you get that notice.  It's pretty inconsistent but maybe they are improving.

I think things may have changed. I used to call my TA and ask her take over a booking with no problem. Then a few months ago she said she was having problems, so I decided to fill out the form and email it to Princess. Four days later I got the email. I sent another request last Friday for another cruise I just booked.
