Very tall passengers may have a problem with the tub/shower combo. DH is 6’3” and had to bend over while showering. On a long cruise it became very uncomfortable. The tub has a step up base to accommodate the plumbing, which reduces the head room. So we won’t book another mini- suite because of that issue. Otherwise, they are great cabins.

I echo those who have said they would cancel. I wouldn’t want my $ tied up with no interest paid by Princess. Better to save the $ to apply to another cruise when things are more settled.

This is one cruise we would consider on any other ship. Why Princess continues to use the Island Princess for world cruises is beyond me. Sorry, not for us.

True, and so sad.

We haven’t been to either port, but during our September 2019 cruise, because of high seas, we had to skip Portland. That may not be an issue in June, but it may be a consideration.

Our 2022 cruise qualifies, but my TA says since there are no other cabins left in my category, she can’t get it for me. Boo!

We only book aft balconies now. DH won’t even consider a cruise unless we have an aft!

Thanks for the links. Our next cruise isn’t until April 2022, so between now and then we’ll see how everything shakes out.

Yep, it's official.

We got our official notice from Princess last night that our 'round Australia cruise on the Sea Princess has been cancelled. We really like the ship, and we're sad to see her go.

I guess Princess is telling us something without telling us. 🙃

Interesting that Princess shows that all cruises on the Sea Princess are sold out until October 2021.

The area in So. Calif. where Princess headquarters are, is experiencing several large wildfires. The heat wave and thunderstorms may be complicating the problem.

Turn around time depends on how many elites are on the ship. They also get complementary laundry. We’re elite and have been sailing in suites for the last few years. On one cruise, it took a minimum of three days to get ours back. IMHO, best to take 4 pairs of pants. They don’t take much room in the suitcase.

My understanding is that if Princess cancelled a cruise, and gift cards were applied to the cruise balance or OBC, they will put the funds back onto your original gift card to be used later. The question for me is, will they also put back $ onto the bonus cards that are now expired. And will they then extend the expiration date?
