Now THIS is an expensive OV

:p

Just happened to be looking at my saved cruises and saw this new pricing. I know Princess will put higher prices on 'sold-out' categories, but I don't think I have seen one listed quite this high before:

Thanks Toto, I missed that this morning. I guess it must be part of the new way cabins show as available or not, what with the apparent changes to waitlisting and sold out showing up online.

Cheryl, you better book it. Price not guaranteed until you do. :D:D

For that prince, do they provide a Coffee Card? :D

Also something new I noticed today is that if a cabin catagory is not available, it's just not being listed. I saw this on my February 4th cruise; nothing in obstructed except F and E and no BF or BE balcony listings either.

 

Also, the 49 day SA cruise in 2013 (Grand) has 3 segments and the only availability is inside cabins on one of them. All other catagories on all cruises are showing the 999999999's.

I think a prince could afford his own card. ;)

For that pricing I wonder if they will accept money made on a computer

Take the suite! What a bargain compaired to the ocean view! :)

[TipsyT]

Yes that's the price. But it does include a robe....and a private island.

 

:D

[srpilo]

If we book two do we get a small discount..

 

 

 

 

Is there any OBC included ? :D:D:D

:D

 

Yes it does and room person name steward, 12 meals a day but only between the hours of 6 amd and 10pm, free shows that no one will go to and the use of union porters to take your bags for free but only if you give them a tip

 

You also get to carry your own bags off and on as part of the super express, and you can leave when you want even if they are still a few hours out, just get the dinghy that is assigned to your cabin.

 

Plus many others, but wait there is more, a few 2' by 3 ' photo of you embarking on the ship but you will be spray tanned first so you dont look all washed out . You will be given a new IPHONE 5 with 1.5 milion apps but only if you are a goldplatsilminnow member

 

whew

That's too funny.:D I wonder if they are wondering why people aren't booking ocean view cabins on that sailing!

I am trying to figure out what the cancellation insurance would cost in a $100 Billion OV. Any help?

[azbirdmom]

Our October 9th cruise on the Star keeps going back and forth between showing sold out and all of those 9's for all categories except Mini / Suite. Must be something going haywire with the Princess website again!

Yes the cost would be $37.50, two packages of NECCO wafers, 1 roll of duct tape, a travel iron and 2 one day passes to Sam's club . This has to be sent in prior to the cruise of course.

Too funny!:)

This is not a too uncommon occurrence. I think it happens when they are loading new itineraries/prices or certain systems are offline.
