3rd and 4th guests free changes

[omro1975]

Anyone else noticed that some cruises, which had 3rd and 4th guests free, are now charging a fare above and beyond the port fees and taxes? The annoying thing is that on the page before selecting whether you want standard or plus it’s still saying the offer.

Sometimes they incorrectly flag an itinerary incorrectly with the 3rd and 4th are free. I've been on the website and spotted several times this has happened. If you really want to do that cruise, the best way is to contact your Princess Cruise Consultant and ask if the sailing is truly free for the 3rd and 4th passengers.

 

I've seen some itineraries that had the promo, but later removed it. For example, I booked a New Years cruise with the promo 3rd and 4th for free, but when I check the sailing the promo is no longer being offered and the cost of the cruise has basically doubled in cost.

I just checked one I have booked 2025 still shows zero for 3rd guest but the week before charges a weird number for 3 passenger. Glitch?

I think it was the latter, because it used to be 3rd and 4th free. I just find the fact that the site is still advertising it, just before I press selection button, to be a bait and switch.

a couple of months ago, the site was glitching for a very long time, promoting this particular deal, but not displaying it for any of the cruises once you got to the selection. I had to wait till it finally worked properly for the cruise I wanted.

I spoke to Princess and a travel agent and no one even suggested the site might be glitching.
