Deal watch: Princess puts short cruises on sale

Princess Cruises is out with yet another promotion, this time on short cruises.

The Great Getaway Sale, as it's being called, brings savings of 50% off the fare for the second passenger in a cabin on sailings of up to five nights in the Caribbean and along the West Coast. Customers also can get extra savings when booking a third or fourth passenger in a cabin.

As part of the promotion, Princess also is reducing the deposit amount required to hold a cabin to $50 per person.

Four-day Princess voyages to the Caribbean start at $448 person. Four-day sailings along the West Coast start at $298.

The promotion must be booked by July 7 and is available to residents of the United States, Canada, Bermuda and Mexico who are 21 years of age or older. Mention booking code R6A. More information is online at Princess.com.
