I wonder how their prices vary from the deals available on the usual sites? If their prices are reasonable, this sound like a great idea and a much needed improvement. sue As I am currently looking at a December cruise on Princess out of San Juan PR (SJU) I compared prices for the restricted fare and actually they showed a cheaper fare than booking online. BWI-SJU was $644.30 for two RT online and through Princess showed $603. I haven't booked through Princess yet and it doesn't show if their displayed fare has all taxes and fees on the screen that I was looking at. The web site does say "Here you may browse available flights for information purpose only. You may book flights once your cruise booking is complete." Even with add-on taxes and fees the flights would be competitive. From Princess's FAQ "Princess eZAirSM As part of Princess Cruises' continuous commitment to service and innovation, we are pleased to introduce the new Princess eZAirSM program. Princess eZAirSM offers real-time, competitively-priced flights that complement your cruise itinerary. It also offers Next Port Protection - something not offered by other major air booking websites. Benefits include: - Next Port Protection - We'll work with the airline to route you to the next appropriate port of call in the event of a flight delay or cancellation at no additional air cost to you. - Immediate flight confirmations - Confirm flight schedule at the time of booking. - No extra customization fees - Choose the airline, class and seat you prefer at no additional cost. - Two pricing options - Compare both pricing options (Flexible or Restricted) side-by-side. Princess eZAirSM will be in effect for virtually all Princess voyages sailing after September 1, 2010. Any existing air booked on the previous FlightChoice Program will be moved to the Flexible pricing option of Princess eZAirSM. Any existing air booked on the previous FlightChoice Plus Program will be honored and protected under the existing terms." |

Although Carnival Corp's lines operate semi-independently, I believe that Princess and Cunard share many operations and wonder if we may see this on Cunard next. Mark |

As a follow-up to my original in reference to the posted amounts including taxes and fees, I was told by the Princess representative for TAs that the amount shown on the web site IS including taxes and fees. If this really holds true (and I have no reason to doubt it) the prices are really competitive but do change daily. I have booked my 14 night on the Caribbean Princess Dec 5th. out of SJU. Checking daily for airfare pricing as it jumped both on Princess eZAir and other sources $80 PP in one day for the same flights. That again is not unusual. The thing I like about the eZAir program is that if you are delayed they will get you to the ship and the cost of their insurance includes any air booked through eZAir program. |
