Are the sales real? I've heard a lot of controversy over the years, but this year I experienced it. I am a travel consultant and book travel for friends. I have two friends that have two different cruises booked with Princess Cruises. One is ready for final payment, but I said "let's wait and hopefully you will see a price drop".
Today the Black Friday specials were released. Both cruises had price increases! Both original cruises had an on board credits and even with the price increase, no on board credits. Princess Love Boat Sale was far better than Black Friday!
I spoke with another agent who was going to reprice a Celebrity Cruise and just like Princess, it was much higher today!
Princess is offering $1.00 deposits on Cyber Monday. If you want to hold a cruise for $1.00, give me a call. Hopefully the prices will readjust soon.
So, friends, beware as these sales can be very misleading!
AND - more to my blog on Twitter, it wasn't just me:
