The balcony cabin prices will increase by at least 30% if you want one in a semi-decent location. I think I might wait for a few weeks and see if the prices come down. Trying to fill a ship at short notice is not going to be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to cancel flights and hotel in Copenhagen and because we booked London post cruise have lots to,reorganize. They have just lost a long time customer! You know that they changed it for safety and security right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be on Norwegian Dawn on Aug. 16 sailing the Baltic from Stockholm to Amsterdam. NNCL pulled only one of two ships doing Baltic cruises this summer.

The cheap round Britain 12n were around £1k inside with P+ Be interesting what they look like when they go live 23rd(We'd). The May dates will be tough to fill as a lot of people will have locked in 4 ships from the UK is a lot of cabins to fill. Might see some Solo promos.

tkwbear Posted March 20, 2022 #182 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I just spent most of the day on the phone with Princess. 4 calls with 5 different agents. 2 put me on hold except they killed the call. Wait times were 10-30 minutes per call with the usual irritating music and frequent reminders that they will be right with me. The 3rd agent canceled my former Baltic cruise after I requested a future cruise credit, except she didn't do that. I got an email shortly afterward showing a penalty of HALF the cruise fare for canceling. So 2 more calls got me to customer service where someone competent named Angela changed my refund to 100%. If you want to skip the clown squad, x13120 will supposedly get you directly to customer service. With my cancelation went my excellent return flight, and now there aren't any good ones through the Princess air program. I'm still doing the 14 day TA and hoping they don't redirect that to Southampton, which is one of my least favorite ports in the world. Not a great experience with Princess. Yes, I do understand why Russia and even Finland and Estonia were removed from the itinerary, and I was fine with the alternate itinerary but they trashed it all and offered something I would never have booked. Skagen is fine once, but twice in 3 days? No. Some of the ports were interesting, so I asked if I could get off in Zeebruge. No, we won't allow that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not concerned that they cancelled but that they didn’t offer us an alternative and we are having mega trouble reorganizing at greater expense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare insidecabin Posted March 22, 2022 #185 Share Posted March 22, 2022 They could have continued to use Copenhagen as the base and set up safe alternative itinerary from there which would have allowed existing logistics for pax to stay in place. I suspect they realised that(or were already getting) cancellations would be high and the alternative itinerary would not be that popular to get alternative bookings as just about EVERYONE would have to fly in The move to Southampton gives access to one of the biggest cruising populations in Europe that do not need to fly also has much better air connections for international travellers. They have the infrastructure in place for pax and provisioning with 2 ships sailing regularly this year. Southampton gives better access to alternative itinerary that are not Norway or Baltic. Also prices for UK bookings have been very good on the current ships so attractive. eg. for one we are looking at later this year(before agent discounting) P+ same locations £$==1.3 Inside UK ~£1k US ~£1,500 Balcony UK £1500 US £2300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good deals on Enchanted though, thanks We have another trip booked, still outside the 30day(book with confidence) switch window can't decide to add a trip or move that one to Enchanted. I don't want too many $ committed to Princess in case they struggle with the increased capacities. NCL have adjusted some of their pricing down so getting added to watch a bit closer. What ever we do I think I need to decide before the book with confidence deadline next Thur(31 March) so we can push them out if needed. Trial run on Sky next week so have a few days to see if we are happy and if any on board deals available. Maybe they are going for the $ with only offering the balcony and up, if they open up insides we may be motivated if the prices are even better. Yet to decide if this is the year when the prices will be at their best so pack a few extra trips in and back off next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
