Not in the UK though

I’m waiting to see they offer something a bit closer to Black Friday.

Just checked a March cruise, and it's higher with this promo than what I booked, lol. 

Same for us. We booked a 7D Mex Riviera cruise for late Nov 2024 when itinerary was first available. "Sale" price is $600 more than when I booked. Funny thing is the landing page for this cruise shows it is part of the sale.

Does anyone know if Princess will be offering discounts on excursions as part of the Black Friday sale.  Many of the other cruise lines are offering the discounts.

I'd be interested to know which lines are offering discounted excursions. I don't mean a TA's offering, which you couldn't name here.

Celebrity. I just cancelled and rebooked excursions for our Dec 24 cruise.

Good news! After preserving, my TA was able to get us the Black Friday deal after all. It saved us a bunch!

Darned auto correct! persevering…

What use is the UK deal of upto £300 off flights when they aren't giving flight quotes, despite many of the options being early in the year?! Tells me quotes will be available within 300 days which the cruises are already?

The 2024 Sun Princess cruise I am interested in hasn't changed in price from a week ago despite the Black Friday offers.

OK, there's the £50 deposit but I have a FCD to apply anyway.

Not even a few extra quid for OBC.

I've been eagerly waiting for the Black Friday offers and wasted my time!

When people see the words "Black Friday", they think it's going to be a great deal!  Sometimes yes, sometimes no!  Got to check it out; as some posters said, "it was not a great deal"!

@rosevew I've been able to get several different flight quotes today for cruises in the Black Friday deal (UK)

@rosevew give me an example cruise and departure airport and I'll give it a try

[CaptainPedantic]

@rosevew I just tried Sun Princess U429 29 July 7 nights Med, and got flight quotes from London from £41pp roundtrip (1 stop) down from £341pp

A few seconds before it was suddenly available and then it wasn't. Guess they have gremlins!

[CaptainPedantic]

Sorry I just noticed a typo (I said 29 July, but it was 27 July as per your screenshot above). Still it's still working for me right now. Gremlins indeed!

I think all we really have in the UK is £50 deposit the flights / OBC offer has been running for a while now

[cali-croozer]

A 5 day cruise I looked up this morning  already went up $50. Guess you have to book quickly if you see something
