Seasoned Princess Cruisers...

We are planning our 5th cruise, but the first with Princess Nov. 20 on the Carribean Princess. We have been shopping around for rates and gotten some pretty good ones. Is now a good time to book or should we wait a few months? Any price watchers out there that might have some advise?

Thanks.
David

Personally, I would book now and monitor the rates. If they go down, contact your TA and get an upgrade or credit.

We are booked on the Caribbean Princess for Nov. 20th. We got great rates plus $100 on board credit. I would book now. e-mail me and I can give you the information for our agency. This will be our 21st Princess cruise.
happy sailing,

I booked in Feb. for Sept and got a great rate plus $100 on board and $150 cash back we the cruise is over. My agent said if I found a better rate they would adjust, but so far what I have booked has been the best. Book now and get the good rate

We have a wonderful TA that allows us to book our cruise now and pay later (just before our cruise). This allows us to book and if any special offers, prices come down, or if there are any other incentives before we pay in full, we are allowed them.

Thanks for all the great advice. I think we are going to go ahead and book!
