peacefulOR Posted December 29, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Is anyone familiar with this happening? We have not received an e-mail, etc. for cruise leaving on the Grand, 1/12/2020 and just found this. The reservation line is closed. We booked back in July and hope that it's a mistake! This is to be our first Princess cruise; we haven't seen anything about the cruise being cancelled. Thank you for any help; I'm really nervous so close to departure.

Rainey That cruise shows sold out online. Did you pay in full? Sometimes they cancel cruises when they charter out the entire ship. But if you made payment, you would have been informed. If you didn’t make payment, you would have been canceled back in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! We have been prepaid for 2 months and have been receiving sales pitches almost daily the last 2 weeks.What a mess with 2 hotels, 3-leg air fares, etc. I was looking for an upsell offer and didn't expect this so close to sailing.

bdojoe Posted December 29, 2019 #13 Share Posted December 29, 2019 You should have been able to print boarding passes and luggage tags for quite a while. I don't remember seeing emails from Princess about my upcoming cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlantaCruiser72 Posted December 29, 2019 #14 Share Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) Princess often does IT maintenance "after hours" Saturday evening until early Sunday am. This can sometimes cause bookings to disappear off the website while the servers are being backed-up. If it's not back on your Princess.com account by 9am PST tomorrow I'd call them. Until then do not fret. Edited December 29, 2019 by AtlantaCruiser72 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post #5 says there is no issue with his booking on this cruise. That's what's so frustrating. We booked nearly 8 months ago to secure a Caribe balcony and have received several account updates, including paid in full. I had hoped that someone had experienced this and could make sense of it. My last e-mail from Princess was to my booking no. at 9:02 a.m. this morning. If it's a glitch, couldn't we lose our cabin before it's straightened out?

dog Posted December 29, 2019 #24 Share Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) I cannot get into my booking to see it for 2 days now. Let’s me sign it but that is it. In your case go to your roll call and see if anyone else is having same problem as you. Call Princess in am just saw your post. Good news.

I seem to have been the only one...probably a glitch during IT maintenance. You might call Princess also, just to be sure. Happy sailing, everyone! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
