Cruise Junky

The wall was a good 2 - 3 feet in front of me. Stretched out fully I could put my foot on the wall. On Air Canada Dreamliner we had about the same leg room if not more than Premium economy.

These were the voyage numbers that were cancelled on Discovery Voyages X602A, X602B, X603A, X604A & X605A it seemed to be the shorter versions of the NZ cruises that were cancelled. The original release is on the main Princess board and can be found with a quick search. That has the voyage numbers listed.

Charge more for the full voyage vs a pretty good rate on only Auckland to Sydney. Who knows what the bean counters at Princess are thinking these days.

What it looks like they’ve done is removed all the embarkation in Auckland options for the NZ cruises. My Southern Australia is still intact but is useless to me without the preceding NZ cruise.

Well I just had my Discovery Princess NZ cancelled for Feb 2026 so they’re switching things around 🤨

Happy Birthday. We’re two days apart, mine was the 5th 🍻🍻

That was a fantastic itinerary.

Yes, this is a known issue on the main Princess board. Annoying to say the least. Lots of complaints about.

We’ve done Vancouver to Sydney/Brisbane three times in Economy. We have always booked the bulkhead for extra leg room. Not sure I could get DH to do it in any other economy seat. Helps a lot that no one recline into you.

As Grand is doing Alaska prior to these cruises there could be a nice Panama Canal repositioning cruise.

Ugh. We dodged that bullet. We were booked on the 36 dayer in October but switched to HAL. Never good to have your cruises cancelled.

Wouldn’t hurt them. They don’t ever stop on Kauai. This was strictly a sail by to fill the day left open by Lahaina. Now a ban from the Hawaiian islands would screw up their repositioning plans. So disappointed in Celebrity for this stunt.

Barcelona has a duty free store after checkin. All recent reports say there is no second check. It’s been that way for years in Barcelona.

Pretty pricey. We’ve pieced together half a world cruise with similar perks and it’s wayyyyyy less per day. Nice that it’s on Coral.
