None of these changes will stop me from choosing Princess. Like before, I do my over all comparisons and have no problem cruising with Celebrity, HAL or Princess- best itinerary for best fare.
However, I had to put down $1000 pp -
(with penalty of $300 to cancel at time of booking,) deposit on my HAL TA, whereas my next and last 2 Princess cruises only required a $100 FCD or $1.00 deposit. Refundable.
