Princess Cruise Prices

[star gazer]

The price you pay depends on many factors; historical data, trend analysis, days prior to sailing, ship, season, itinerary, cabin and so on.

On the Diamond RT to Hawaii, 174 days prior to sailing, I was given a Captain’s Circle price and satisfied with it.

On the Princess web site, 128 days prior to sailing, I was able to receive a $320 savings.

Again, 87 days prior to sailing, that price was increased to $360 more that the original Captain’s Circle price.

I don’t know the the exact day prior to sailing that Princess makes changes, but it appears two of them are 120 & 90 days.

Hopefully, the board will shed more light on this.

Some sailings only go UP in price, not down. Supply and demand also comes into play with the pricing and especially with price drops.

It is all supply and demand. A few years ago we booked a 10 days cruise from Boston 15 months in advance at very good price. 6-7 months later price went up about $300+ p.p. and between 120days and 30 days before the cruise we got 3 cat better room and $150.00 p.p. credit. Ship was not full and cruiseline was dropping the prices. Total we paid for 10 days what would have paid for 7 plus we didn't have to fly. So prices are going up and down.
