Several weeks ago there was a thread discussing discussing a new offer and my TA shared the details with me.

 

All Aboard! To Europe – 72-hour Sale (2/5-2/7)

Are your clients dreaming of cruising to Europe? Then don’t let them miss out on special bonus savings during our 72-HOUR Princess® All Aboard! To Europe Sale. With the All Aboard!

Thank you for this!  I will be watching for it on the 5th.  I might be able to refare our British Isles cruise and pick up even more perks.  Hoping the fares stay the same.

Non refundable deposit?

Right, I just wanted to look at the itineraries.  I can't get in using Chrome and Edge.  I can access part of the site, just not plan a cruise.

Good luck 🤞...as we know not all Princess offers are sales for everyone. 😉

Based on the examples for available cruises only being in Summer 2019 it doesn't appear to be available in 2020.  The flyer only lists a few of the available cruises & sometimes they release the entire list before the sale...sometimes not.  So the available cruises might not be listed until 2/5 when this offer begins.

Thanks for the info.  We are doing the Baltic cruise in June.  Back in September we took advantage of a sale that appears to be the same as what is going to be offered but we will still check it out.  We constantly check prices anyway.

You’re welcome & maybe it’ll be better for you...I too frequently check for a better net cost.

Good luck...the flyer shows the price of a BI cruise on the Crown sailing on 7/24/19.

As it should be, never understand why anyone expects a deposit back. 

[Ofmyheart]

Oh I have my fingers double crossed. Trying to get on the same ship (Crown) as our friends. They got the sold out 26 day. I am hoping for the 27 or atleast the 18.

[rocklinmom]

Which cruise are you trying to get on?  Confused by all the numbers...

Unfortunately I am in a job where my boss doesn't understand vacations. He does car trips to visit relatives. I can never get the ok a year in advance for a vacation. I wish it wasn't my situation but I can't control those above me. We also are in a department where we don't have overlap in positions.

 

People who are not in my position doesn't understand why refundable deposits are important.

Well said Coral!  Totally agree.  And do you happen to know, with your vast knowledge, which itineraries will be in this upcoming 72 hour Europe promo?  As in which ones could be the $99 3rd and 4th person fare?  Long shot that it could be ours but you never know...

I only know as much as AstroFlyer posted. 

 

I am in a weird position - I have a cruise booked I really want to go on but it is $1700 more than last year (same ship, almost same time, one different port). My sailing is not on the flyer but I assume I can re-fare it to get free gratuities added but that still doesn't make up the difference in price form last year. I hope the fare goes down.

 

I loved the sailing last year but there was so much to do - I wanted to go back and do other things in port.

 

I would assume all sailings that are covered in All-Aboard sail and go to Europe would be covered but who knows.

I hate typos.

A little off topic (sorry) but I noticed the exact same thing with a cruise we were looking to book again a year later. It wasn't Europe, but exact same cruise, exact same time of year, almost double the price! Weird!

 

Back to topic, I am stalking a few Europe cruises right now, most of which are out of my budget this year. Maybe the "sale" will push them into my price zone....

[majortom10]

and as usual what do we get regarding deals from Princess in the UK...............nothing.

Hoping so also. Though - many cases the price stays the same or increases as they add the perk. The only perk this would add would be tips which would help. I am hoping a reduction happens as well.

Still no additional information on which Europe cruises are eligible for this promotion.
