Change from travel agent to us managing the booking?

[wcflats]

If anyone has done that how do we get that done?  Tried to navigate the princess website but haven’t found the answer.  So thanks and appreciate any advice.

There is a form, I attached for your use.

Wow 😯.  Thanks so much!👍

Be sure to fill out the form as a PDF and send it as an attachment.  I learned by making the mistake of adding it to an email (not attachment).  Princess wants the form on one page.  Mine showed up as two and Princess rejected it.

That's getting rather picky... !

The story is even longer.  But the bottom line was that the form showed half on one page and half on the other.  

 

This is why it is CRITICAL to follow up with Princess on anything,  After figuring out what the problem was, my TA and I were able to correct the error.  Lesson learned.  I don't make that mistake anymore.

Are you allowed to take a reservation from a TA without their permission?

Yeah as long as it is within 60 days of booking and the final payment hasn’t been made.

I have put a booking on hold, let Princess know that my TA will pick it up, and then notified my TA.  It’s been a while since I’ve done that so not sure if it still possible.  I think, as long as no monies have been exchanged, you can still do it.

OP wants to do the reverse, take the booking AWAY from the TA to manage it themself.

Thank you for setting me straight.  I was only reading the first post.  Misunderstood the thread title.

 

And here lies the teacher in me problem (me alone), The first paragraph should include the premise of the title.

What happens to any discount or OBC given by the travel agent  if the booking is taken away from them?

It would have to disappear.

This also has to be done within 60 days. I don't like the change to the rules but there's nothing to be done about it.

As far as I am concerned, if a TA needed firing, I'd be on to Princess about it, even if after 60 day mark.  That said, I'd be expecting the booking to revert to PCL direct and not be able to pick up another TA at that juncture.

Are you really asking if you can fire a TA and still keep whatever perks he or she has provided for you? 🤦‍♂️

I"ve been around for a while.   I know the answer.   I brought it up for debate.    Isn't that what Cruise Critic is all about?  Chill.
