islandwoman Posted February 6, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) I make it a habit to re-check prices of cruises I've booked. This morning I saw this error message for Island Princess' April 20, 2015 cruises: Pricing is currently not available. Please try a different departure date or check back later or call 1-800-774-6237. Should I assume prices are being changed, or could something else be going on?

The sailing is likely going to be cancelled and instead the ship will be going to Europe for the summer instead of Alaska.

OCruisers Posted February 6, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 6, 2014 The sailing is cancelled. I received an email from my TA today. Thanks for confirming it's been cancelled. That's normally the case when the "prices are not available" thing comes up. LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted February 6, 2014 #5 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Thanks for confirming it's been cancelled. That's normally the case when the "prices are not available" thing comes up. LuLu It also comes up when a cruise is sold out, but that is obviously not the case for this cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty52 Posted February 6, 2014 #6 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I have also checked out sailing date 4th March on Coral - 11 day Panama Canal and it also is coming up with that information but have heard nothing about a cancellation. Has anyone heard anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swhalley Posted February 6, 2014 #7 Share Posted February 6, 2014 March 14, 2015 Caribbean Adventurer is also canceled. So disappointed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2cruise Posted February 7, 2014 #8 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Checked pricing for several 2015 cruises and got the same message. I doubt all those cruises are cancelled, but anything is possible I guess.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted February 7, 2014 #9 Share Posted February 7, 2014 It also comes up when Princess is doing maintenance and/or changes in pricing etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2cruise Posted February 7, 2014 #10 Share Posted February 7, 2014 It also comes up when Princess is doing maintenance and/or changes in pricing etc. That's what I had originally thought.....thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swhalley Posted February 7, 2014 #11 Share Posted February 7, 2014 March 14/15 is definitely canceled. We got our email early this morning and I have talked to Princess twice today. They have booked us on the March 7 sailing of the Caribbean Princess and told me nothing would be finalized until the end of Februrary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandwoman Posted February 7, 2014 Author #14 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Our cruise for April 18, 2015 on the Caribbean Princess was cancelled today. bummer :( I guess there's no point in rushing to research alternatives. It seems that Princess is in the process of redoing their spring 2014 itineraries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddieboysr Posted February 7, 2014 #15 Share Posted February 7, 2014 March 14/15 is definitely canceled. We got our email early this morning and I have talked to Princess twice today. They have booked us on the March 7 sailing of the Caribbean Princess and told me nothing would be finalized until the end of Februrary. So is this for 2014 or 2015? We on that same ship the week after. God I hope they don't cancel it, we are really looking forward to going on another cruise Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted February 7, 2014 #16 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Last year at this time there was a similar thread about cruises at the end of the published season being cancelled. I guess booking a cruise that far in advance towards the end of a published schedule (at least with Princess) can lead to disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr green Posted February 7, 2014 #21 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I make it a habit to re-check prices of cruises I've booked.

Please try a different departure date or check back later or call 1-800-774-6237. Should I assume prices are being changed, or could something else be going on? I have found a way to get in. If it comes up again, go back one step, and it should show, 'If you are a past Princess cruiser, register here you may get a lower price', or words to that effect. Do so and you should get in. I always do.:) john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
