Casino free room can you get early flight ticketing?

[mina]

We have a free British isles cruise coming up.  We have paid in full for cruise and Princess air.  I would like to get early ticketing of the flights in order to get certain seats.  Has anyone tried to request this through the casino office before? What was the response?   I know they have my money, but have not paid the air yet as final payment is not yet due. So I want them to pay the air to Princess so our flights are fully ticketed.  Thank you.

Yes.  You should be able to do this yourself by clicking the early ticketing button in the Travel section of the Cruise Personalizer.

 

ETA: If the button is somehow not enabled, you can call the casino res number.  Just expect a wait - it took me an hour to get through to a casino representative last week.

Whatever you do if it’s a casino free room do not try to do it yourself. You have to have the casino department do it or your booking will be canceled.  🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ We had our PVP do it and the booking was canceled. It took six hours on the phone to get everything back as it should be. What a mess. I talked to a lot of really nice and helpful people but what a mess.

I know that can happen when you first book and pay for the air as it happened to me last year.  Haven't heard of it happening when you are simply ticketing what you've already paid for but it is glitchy so it's probably not a good idea to chance it.

It happened to me couple of weeks ago.  Awful.

 

it happened when we went to book and pay for the air. I hope I didn’t misunderstand everybody. I’m sorry if I did.

Thank you both.  So mssocalcruiser,  you were able to have it ticketed early when you called the casino dept?  I looked online today under the early ticket request and it bounced me to a pay now screen, which I gingerly backed out of.  Do not want to mess with it myself.  Now hopefully when I call the casino number I don’t get the woman with the Australian accent cause she has goofed up my booking twice.  First by not clicking the Princess plus flag, even though I paid for it, and second when I repriced my flights where she put it on the wrong day. Two call backs to fix.  Even with the long holds, I would call back if I get her!

You ( or your TA) can ask casino department to do early ticketing. Do not attempt to do this yourself on a free cabin booking.

 

You do not want to do anything to the booking on the Free Casino cabins (no issues on discount cabins, just free ones).  When the casino desk creates the booking for the free cabin they “protect it”  so it doesn’t auto cancel when final payment is due. Modifying the booking can remove the protection and can cause real issues.
