parentsof5 Posted October 8, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) I just checked prices on our cruise next May to AK, and they had gone down again. WooHoo!! However, the prices for aft, forward, etc in the same category were all different, not reflecting the one low price in that category. Or did the 3 for Free end, can't recall the dates, but thought it was awhile longer and thought I saw it on the Princess page when I first went to it this morning. (**Double checked this, and it is on sale for another monthish.) I asked, but the rep didn't know why they were different. She did recognize this isn't how the sale had been working. Will keep an eye on it, as we could save a little more if prices are not reflecting 3 for Free as they should.

rocklinmom Posted October 8, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Prices for our June Alaska cruise dropped by $200pp recently, which saved us $800 (yay!). Prices are still showing the same for all balcony cabin locations (at least on our cruise). And the 3 for Free is good until November 16th. I don't know why your cruise shows varying prices by cabin location, it might have to do with inventory. It definitely pays to keep an eye on pricing for your cruise...you never know when prices can drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taken into the account that we also were charged regular balcony for a premium balcony on the 3 for free we saved for two people a total of $570 in addition to the other perks.

parentsof5 Posted October 8, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted October 8, 2017 We had that last price drop of almost $200 pp. That was a few weeks ago, and all cabins were listed at the same price. When I called for the price drop, we still get the 3 for free other perks, and our price did drop another approx. $130. Weird none of them are showing the every cabin for the lowest price in the category part of the 3 any longer. There are a couple of sold out sections for a category, but not huge areas. Not a huge deal at this point for the cabin we want. Interesting to know others are still showing the pricing piece of the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Flyer Posted October 8, 2017 #6 Share Posted October 8, 2017 No price drop for our June 2018 cruise booked a month ago with 3 for Free. Based on this terms statement, wonder if some categories are now unavailable which happens with limited availability offers. "Fares apply to minimum lead-in categories on a space-available basis at time of booking. Fares for other categories may vary". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare patrickmoran Posted October 8, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Premium cabins and suites are excluded from the free upgrade (i.e., cabins in a category are all the same). Hence prices for aft balconies can be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parentsof5 Posted October 10, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Checked this evening, and prices are the same for all Balconies on my deck. Yesterday price drop took literally 30 seconds. Seem to be having trouble today. Been on hold for almost 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
