There goes the round trip Hawaii and Tahiti cruise.
Sorry for all the passengers booked out of Sydney and Brisbane on her.
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.

On a serious note, I grew up in Honolulu and am shocked by the actions of the captain of the Celebrity Edge encroaching on the pristine waters off the Na Pali cliffs. This is exactly the kind of idiotic behavior by tourists showing a total disregard for the land and sea of the Hawaiian Islands that gives all tourists, and cruisers in particular, a bad name. If the Celebrity Edge lost power or had suffered some other kind of technical glitch, they would have had no room for error or recovery. Respect the land and the beauty of the islands. I think a ban on Celebrity cruising to Kaua'i for a year would be appropriate.
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.

Just FYI - not sure what you are planning on buying in Barcelona but other than two bottles of wine on embarkation day they will take anything else you bring on board from a port.
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.

There are many posts quoting 35% off drink pkg. which isn't showing on our cruise. Classic $93 Canadian x 10 nights plus grats is a little rich for light drinkers. I keep watching to see if it'll come down but so far...not. When is your cruise? It may depend on how the sales are going for each one. We've always purchased the pkg, but this time we're thinking of paying our bar bill in US $ even though the chit signing is a nuisance.
I think my 35% off offer ended yesterday. We got a good deal on 2 martini flights though so that gives us two nights at the martini bar. Cruise is in November.

I am not prepared to pay $1,500 US (add 37% for Canadians) just for drinks. Which is what the current 35% off comes to for a 10 day cruise. 50% or no drink package. I’m happy to stock up at Barcelona duty free.
-
We’re booked on the 8 day. Wow, I had no idea it would be that popular. There are three versions of that cruise though. It might be that more cabins are available for the full portion and not the smaller one. Keep your eyes out for more inventory.
edit…just checked the 14 day version, there’s tons of availability for 3.

When is your cruise? It may be due to how close the cruise is. Ours is in Nov. I check often and no discount other than the 20% which is always showing for Elite +.....and I'm not sure that it shows only for me and not for everyone else....Elite + or not.
Ours is November. I currently have the 35% offer.

Just saw on another thread that the cruise has only just been release, so I logged into my PCA and I can see pricing. Suites are already sold out and the only pricing I can see had Premium built into the fare.
🥹. I can’t see any pricing yet for the 2026 cruise. EDIT…ignore me, I wasn’t logged in

There isn't much they can do. It's a very long way around via the Cape of Good Hope with not many viable ports. Presumably they can only go a certain distance between refueling stops which is why they go via Mauritius- otherwise there is just too much empty ocean between Fremantle and Cape Town.
We're just about to embark on this year's Coral Princess world cruise. I'm just thankful there is an option to replace the Red Sea transit even though it means we lose a number of ports we wanted to go to. However we get to go to some new ports that we didn't ever expect to get to so I'm sure we'll enjoy those. Plus we love sea days and having so many at the beginning of our itinerary will leave us relaxed and refreshed, ready for the more port intensive part of the itinerary.
Exhibit A. HAL did a hell of a lot better job getting to Cape Town. Princess didn’t need to go to Perth, I wasn’t on the original itinerary
-
Way too many sea days. They could have at least tried. Don’t blame you for canceling

This is great - thank you for sharing. Was there any indication what the segments are? Thinking Sydney, Hong Kong & London may be break points.
-
Only 20% of my November cruise for both drink packages (we have no perks) but they had 35% off the martini flights. Bought two of those.
-
I would be really surprised if it wasn’t Souda. That’s where the big ships go into to. Chania is a tender port

Just watch the labeling on the menu. If it doesn’t say wild or if it says Atlantic then it’s farmed.

This is on our supplier site
Sourced direct from our partners in Alaska

There are lots of sources of Alaska King Crab in Vancouver but ouch $$$$$$$ on the price per pound.

Get ready for a 10% off sale.

Lol. You’re surprised that a 7 day cruise in Spring Break/Easter Week/March has so many kids? This was really poor planning on your part.
