Rare vino100 Posted July 25 #1 Share Posted July 25 Well after all the cruises on Princess,I finally got a move to a lower cabin offer. I’m solo in a regular balcony cabin and I just received a free cruise offer if I would move to an obstructed view window cabin. I guess my cruise must be sold out.

Rare geoherb Posted July 25 #3 Share Posted July 25 I noticed that our Emerald cruise in five weeks has shown up as sold out for a couple of weeks now. We're still waiting for our cabin assignment since I booked us a guarantee. I know we'll get one eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted July 25 #4 Share Posted July 25 Princess just sent an email for move over offers to Caribbean Princess/Iceland-Greenland. Not so lucrative. You have to choose another European voyage from Southampton within 2 years. Princess will not return to Greenland/Iceland in the time period from Southampton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teechur Posted July 25 #7 Share Posted July 25 If it was an obstructed balcony, it would be an easy switch, but it's difficult to give up the option for fresh air in your cabin. Then again, you could take it as a freebie then go on another cruise for no additional cost. Tough call! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Emerald sailing next month is not showing sold out, but maybe certain categories are over sold? Also semantics, most would say you got a ‘downgrade’ offer. A move over usually means you will ‘move’ to a different cruise of your choice since they are oversold, opposed to certain categories being oversold.

Whenever I get these, I have FF miles (free) for airfare and getting those during different dates may be difficult. Plus, my work has busy and not busy times, plus I have to work around other people's vacation times. I have received a ton of these and never taken advantage of them. Maybe when I am retired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flying fingers Posted July 25 #13 Share Posted July 25 I got the same offer. Solo in a balcony booked with casino discount. I sent email accepting and am waiting to hear back. Hope I know soon. That money will help pay off next trip 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you that it would be hard to switch dates, but it sounds like the OP had a move-down offer from a balcony to an obstructed view on the same cruise.

susancruzs Posted July 25 #15 Share Posted July 25 I would take it in a heartbeat, I sail solo, too and few times I've had a balcony didn't use it that much. Emerald is on the NE route, to me that plays into balcony usage. I'm retired though so time isn't an issue, flights could be as I'm 2 hrs. from airports.

flying fingers Posted July 25 #16 Share Posted July 25 I suspect they are working g on it now. For a second my luggage tag showed an inside room. Now it is back to showing my original balcony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flying fingers Posted July 25 #20 Share Posted July 25 The suspense is killing me. Anyone know how long they usually take to respond? Do they let you know one way or the other? Due to sail Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare vino100 Posted July 26 Author #21 Share Posted July 26 Well I have decided to stay in my balcony cabin. I just love a balcony. My cruise is this coming Sunday. I’m heading out in the morning and am looking forward to sailing on the Emerald. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the current situation, it is a downgrade offer for the SAME sailing, so the OP normally will receive the fare they paid minus taxes and fees as refundable on board credit. In my experience with a ‘move over’, you give up your cabin for the specified sailing and are offered to choose from select future sailings in same category and will receive refundable on board credit on the future sailing of the cruise fare you paid. I think they adjust taxes and fees based on your give up sailing and the future cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flying fingers Posted July 26 #23 Share Posted July 26 I got no gift that I was staying in my cabin. Guess I was not fast enough in responding. Free cruise would have been nice but so is the balcony! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treasure Hunter Posted July 26 #24 Share Posted July 26 I would never give up my porch. I spend every morning out there reading and watching the ocean and the sky. It’s magical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
