berlingo Posted July 21, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Wow! That is a tempting offer. We too are sailing on the Crown next week but we have not had any move over offer at all . We are in a mini suite and I am wondering whether Princess just does not need any of these. Can I be cheeky and ask what type of cabin you are booked in to?

Britcruzer15 Posted July 21, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Not Cheeky at all inside 4 berth - did you get the last moveover offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malleykatt Posted July 21, 2017 #5 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Hi We are on next week and we received the same first offer but nothing new today. We are in a premium balcony. 21 days would be tempting but we would still be wanting our break and have to start looking again. Are you going for it?

Britcruzer15 Posted July 21, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Sadly not as we are travelling with others (they have a premium balcony) and they have not had the email. I will call princess. we too need the break though, and although we could line up an alternative at short notice, it would be a hassle I could do without Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malleykatt Posted July 21, 2017 #7 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I know what you mean I wouldn't want to panic buy with a week to go to find somewhere else. Looking forward to 29th lets enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crows nest club Posted July 21, 2017 #8 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I know what you mean I wouldn't want to panic buy with a week to go to find somewhere else. Looking forward to 29th lets enjoy it. Here, here. The best part of a cruise is the anticipation. However, if it suits you, and you are flexible, then go for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britcruzer15 Posted July 21, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted July 21, 2017 you know what, thats brilliant advice - roll on next saturday :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise club Posted July 21, 2017 #10 Share Posted July 21, 2017 We are in a 2 berth premium balcony and have not had this offer, however we have family booked into in a 4 berth and they have had the offer. They have to travel in school holidays and are looking forward to the cruise so are not interested. I think they must be short of family cabins, although it is a bit late to be trying to sort out over booking issues with just a week to go.

I spoke to princess this morning to clarify the offer, and they said it could be extended to cover other cabins in our party. We also need school hols dates and even looking around its had to find an alternative, so we are sticking with what we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berlingo Posted July 21, 2017 #15 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Not Cheeky at all inside 4 berth - did you get the last moveover offer? No we didn't. Our mini suite is a four berth so maybe the theory about the demand being for family cabins is too simple. Really for us not getting a move over offer does make things easier. Having to cancel our cruise last year means we to very much need a break but a free cruise would be very tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise club Posted July 21, 2017 #16 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I have read that they have been offering incentives to move off a med cruise on Royal Princess as well so clearly they don't have enough capacity to cope with the demand for med cruises and have got their calculations wrong on anticipated cancellations. Last year we did the same cruise on Emerald where we had a premium balcony and daughter and family had a mini suit and there were no move over offers, but I am sure there were two cruises on Emerald to the med from the Uk, during summer holidays in 2016. It would make more sense if Princess could use the larger Royal or Regal to go from the Uk to the Med instead of cruising round the UK in 2018. Many of us cruise to avoid all the hassle of flying and obviously the demand is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted July 22, 2017 #17 Share Posted July 22, 2017 We sailed on the Crown March/April and didn't get any move over offer. We will sail on her again this October and have not received any either, yet. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emileg Posted July 22, 2017 #19 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Question to those who received move-over offers. Did you have an assigned cabin or a guarantee? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malleykatt Posted July 22, 2017 #20 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Hi We had the first offer of 14 days . Our booking is for 4 of us and we have an assigned cabin. Didn't get the New offer but it couldn't sway us to jump ship so to speak. Going to some lovely places round the med ..... summer here we come.

Cruise club Posted July 22, 2017 #21 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Hi my daughter got both offers and they have an assigned cabin which they chose. They booked directly with Princess cruises as we always do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SusieS Posted July 22, 2017 #23 Share Posted July 22, 2017 We got a move-over offer for the July 22nd sailing of the Royal. We were booked for an inside mid-ship guarantee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemoontets Posted July 22, 2017 #24 Share Posted July 22, 2017 We had an assigned Cabin, when we took up the offer on our Crown sailing on the 1st July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emileg Posted July 23, 2017 #25 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Thanks for your responses. So, what I think I am hearing is that you can receive a move-over offer and it doesn't matter whether you have a guarantee or a specific cabin booked. Is that right?
