If anyone out there works for Princess, they sent me the Alaska 2001 brochures, and I wanted Europe/Med brochures. I am SO upset!!

I have a small problem with princess too...
I have registered with their "Grand Class" savers (the one that appears when you visit their web site) twice but I have not received any e-mails or anything else yet...

Peter...

I think I ordered the Europe 2001 and Med 2001 brochures for the Orient Lines' Crown Odyssey.

The chief reason I was interested in Princess was because they offer the monthly payment plan, which would make it easier for me to make a trip to Europe, that way I could pay it off with the $$$$$ with my part-time job. I do, however, hear mixed reviews on their food and service...and Vulcania's take on them being cash extractors rings in my ears...but I do so want to go to the Med...I know that's the brochure I asked for on the website, I can't imagine why they sent me Alaska...I have been to Alaska and I HATE it...maybe for other people, but not me...something touristy and tacky about it...

Rex: just a thought, but why not drop in at your locl Travel Agency and discuss your plans with a live agent? Perhaps (s)he can give you some feedback on the different lines. Just a thought

I was going to suggest the same thing, Winner. Good one.

I wouldn't be too upset Rex if I were you. I love reading cruise brochures.

I do too, Ascendancy, but I am so into going to Europe that it's all I think about.

Rex, yes do go to Europe.

Why not check out ALL the brouchures of ALL the major lines? (It can be easier to pick them up from a TA)

You may get much of the info from their respective web sites - listed on this site!

Yes, it's a good idea to check out your local TA for brochures, but many of them only carry those for some of the major lines - our lot here are a dead loss but always seem to have HAL, but no Princess.
If you want Orient or ROC or any of the other smaller ones it's quicker to order from their sites.
