Early booking discounts

[hoppelk]

I just read that Princess will soon be offering early booking discounts for Summer 06 Alaska cruises. How much of a discount is given or is this a marketing strategy? Thanks

That would be my luck. Hopefully they won't put the "new bookings only" tag on it. Rates weren't cheap for next year. :eek:

Unless I am misunderstanding you, "early booking discounts" EBD's are the terminology that Princess uses in all of their brochures (in the pricing area)...they show 2 prices...the "Brochure Price" and the "EBD Price".

 

All of this is regular marketing by Princess, but quite often (if not always) you can find better fares from TAs.

 

If this is not what you are talking about, then please clarify.

Yes, you answered the question. I was just curious as to how much of a discount it is and how long the discount lasts.
