No more "single share" on Princess

[Kareerin]

Princess has discontinued its "single share" program...You can cruise Princess now but must pay a 200% single supplement. I have faxed their customer relations group but haven't heard back...Unbelievable!!!

That is not entirely accurate. For example, on the Dec 10, 2006, sailing of Caribbean Princess the best available double rate for a category II double is $1,406.13 total for two people. However, they have Single Occupancy Best Fare for the same category of $1035.04 So they have a single fare that is 165% of the double rate. That isn't changing. Frankly, HAL was the only one who consistently had and promoted single share, and still does.

Yes. I hear a lot of people talk about the lack of a single person break.

Frankly the best deal for a single person, other than single share, is the category 1A on Carnival. Some of these cabins even have portholes, just twin beds (not very often bunks). Category 1A is the "lead rate" that is the price you see in the ads. I know of someone taking a 7 day Carnival cruise in late August in a 1A by herself, paying under $700 for the week.

Princess quoted me 200% for their January cruise to Manus and back. I still haven't heard from the Princess customer relations dept but have recieved 7 e-mails from them trying to sell cruises. Nice to know about Carnival prices but I usually go for the longer more exotic cruises...Thanks Kare_erin

[Kareerin]

I will check into that...thanks...

You would have thought they would have responded .. maybe a follow up voice call is in order.. sometimes Kare_erin, you have to fight for what you want..

Good luck
