Bait and switch?

Cheers!

Outstanding.

Update. The executive team at Princess reached out to us and agreed that the original booking price should be honoured We are ecstatic that Princess Cruises finally did the right thing and we are sailing to Norway once again. It shouldn’t have taken this much effort, but we appreciate the fact that Princess admitted their mistake and corrected an obvious error by their booking team. I think a few of these are well-deserved for me and for Sydney in Princess’ executive department. Thanks

Something does not sound right. IF you booked with a Princess cruise consultant, AND received the confirmation email stating the price (deposit paid, itinerary, and remaining balance) your particular cruise price should NOT have increased. If a non-Princess cruise person made the booking, I could see a change -- possibly -- but not a true Princess Cruise Consultant.

something that might work would be to call a travel agency and ask if they could help you? you would have to transfer your booking to them, but they will go over their heads and just maybe it might work.

since it is a new booking and not paid in full, it might.

As a part time agent i would try for anyone. My hope is that you remember for your next trip.

Bad business; poor customer satisfaction leads to bad word of mouth. it would be in their interest to honor original price. Escalate up the Princess corporate ladder.

This still amazes me to be willing to pay over $5600 and somehow there was a pricing error so now were going to raise it to $6800 after you made a deposit? Furthermore they did not call or email you to tell you in advance? I have loyalty but i understand that business is business. I reward good cruiseliines with my future business. Princess just gave me $50 credit because they failed to respond to my email 1.5 yrs ago! I laughed mostly. Hey at least they acknowledged my email? My VTG consultant said its a contract once you book it by deposit...there maybe woggle room if something glitched but you need to ask for more proof. I think they will be honest with you? However what i think means nothing. Cruise for less and cruise more, see you at sea! Thats where my friends are!

Tell them you are calling the BBB and an attorney

Just cancel. Hopefully you have a refundable deposit. You have booked so far in advance that prices will definitely fluctuate many times, hopefully lower. Check out other cruise lines like Holland America, Cunard, Celebrity and Viking. You do not need to settle for a negative experience.

Best wishes!
