Apologies first off if I`ve got the wrong person, I dont come to CC as often as I used too so... Not 100% ive got the right person......

As our contact on the inside........... do you think P&O Cruises will ever send the beautiful Britannia up too Iceland? Summer 2025 ?................

I was due to go on Aurora in 2020 but covid put paid to that....... gutted as I got a REALLY good deal, itinerary was brilliant aswell 

I do ask every time I ring up too talk to somebody about a cruise etc..........

The Virgin Voyages ships are truly ugly looking ships... No amount of money would get me on one of those ships.......

I`m a huge fan of Britannia and think that she is a very good looking ship - Well Britannia and the Princess Cruises "Royal Class" fleet....

Might just be me, but I`ve tried twice to book a cruise for September 2023 and both times payment has failed.

I`ve just been paid and there is MORE then enough money to cover the deposit, I`ve got the website open and my banking app on my phone and no payments been taken...... 

Might just be because its 1am in the UK and the system is on a go-slow........ Will try again in the morning

Just wondered if it was was just me OR is Princess having issues globally.......

Anyone else having problems?

When do the itineraries start to appear on the website? 

I want to sail on Sapphire Princess from Vancouver to California in September 2023

I know Elites cruisers can book from Tuesday (so 2 days time... ) and us mere mortals can book from Wednesday, its just so exciting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just want to see the exact itinerary - so I can copy it down and start to get excited to go to Canada (2nd time) and sail on Princess Cruises (this cruise will be my 2nd with Princess) and first time to California (Previously sailed from Vancouver to Alaska on Star Princess in May 2018)

Fab!! I will be at work so will welcome the posts

I'm especially interested in Vancouver to California cruises

Where on youtube will this webinar be available to view? I'm in the UK

I wasnt able to go sadly, I had planned a busy year of travelling but unfortnately had to cancel

I know from this thread that Arcadia wasnt able to dock in Norway on either port, Did Arcadia get to dock into Reykjavik? I would have been extremely disappointed if Arcadia had not been able to dock in Reykjavik.......For me it would have been  the TOTAL highlight of the whole cruise !!

I saw  that she docked in Belfast

I`m aware of the history of Belfast, I`ve heard stories - Still love the place as a tourist now 

I`m glad Arcadia was able to dock in Reykjavik, I`ve heard stories that it ( like any port ) is down to the weather and whether or not the captain deems it safe or not

I would have been truly gutted to have missed Reykjavik

How was it in the 1980s and 1990s ? 

I went there a lot in those times,  and in all honesty, it was never lovely or like home ! 

I have never concentrated so much when driving, as a wrong turn could have been fatal. 

I was a baby in the 80s haha

as a tourist from 2008 onwards its a great place, so much to see and do, titanic belfast, giants causeway, shopping, theatre, music comedy - and of course the great people !!

I was never bothered for Norway, been there 3x before with P&O

Iceland was the reason I booked this itinerary in the first place, a whole NEW country for me !!

I booked it on day 1 and cancelled months ago, long story

Belfast is lovely, I`ve been there a fair few times in the past, to the point of it being like "going home " when I go as ive been so often

No emails regarding changes

My point was that it was the 13-14th July for Reykjavik 

Hope you parents are having a great time despite all the chopping and changes

See Post #29 

the Sold itinerary, before any adjustments 

Reykjavik was never the 13th

 

I am looking at my parents booking and 

11th Reykjavik- Overnight

12th Reykjavik 

13th Isafjordur

 

Guess we will see on Monday when those on the ship report where they actually are

So many different itineraries from people actually not on the ship

I was originally booked on this cruise, booked the day it went on sale

Reykjavik was originally the 13th July and 14th July ............

My 4 night Aurora cruise in November 2014 was cancelled because it was late coming out of dry dock. We did find out quite a while in advance , about 3 or 4 months before I think. She was having the new livery put on with the flag on the bow. 
I was gutted because it was my 50th birthday. I’ve still never been on Aurora. We had a good time on Oriana instead but we were supposed to go Amsterdam on Aurora and Oriana went to Bruges and Cherbourg.

I should have been on that cruise too

It was very funny, I was in Wales at the zipline thing..  Got all suited up, harness on, goggles as i wear glasses,... i can feel my phone ringing in my pocket and i cant get to it...was P&O ringing to tell me the cruise was cancelled

Still never made it on to Aurora yet

Got OBC from that cruise being cancelled on my next cruise which was on Britannia in 2015

I should be on this cruise too, Circumstances means I'm not...

Original itinerary was...

Southampton...2 days at sea...Skjolden...Alesund...day at sea...Akureryri...Isafjordur...2 days in Reykjavik...2 days at sea...Belfast...day at sea...Southampton

Maybe next time, on Britannia 🤞

The new Crown Princess sailings from Vancouver from April to September 2023 are now bookable on Princess.com

Hi... sorry to be "that guy" but ALL I`m seeing is Crown Princess sailing Seattle to Alaska roundtrips and then Vancouver to Alaska roundtrips .........

I would like to sail on a similiar itinerary to the 22nd September 2022 cruise on Crown Princess from Vancouver to California.........

I have been to Alaska in 2018 on Star Princess and it was an amazing holiday... this time I want to visit beautiful Vancouver and down to "the golden state"........

Thank you !!

Anyone know when Vancouver California 2023 goes on sale?!.............

Hi All

Does anyone know when Vancouver California round trip cruises for about September / October 2023 go on sale?. 

I`ve had 2 different dates from Princess UK that have both come and gone to no avail...

I was due to sail on Crown Princess in September 2022 but owing to a change of plans, I wont be travelling to Canada / America now so want to do the same / similiar cruise in 2023.

I`m getting frustrated waiting for details to be released and hope someone on here will know or could at least give me some hope before I pull my hair out.

I will be happy with any ship as long as its not Crown Princess...

Thank you 

Cruisefan2012 

Do you know when Summer 2023 Vancouver California round trip cruises go on sale with Princess?

Thank you

Some info for TA's indicate that shuffling of the crown is not necessarily related to the crown's issues - sounds like the austrailian voyages in fall of 2023 will be cancelled which were to sail on the Royal.  The Regal also had voyages cancelled next summer in the baltics due to the ongoing conflict in the area.

 

They don't show any of the new voyages but discuss that there will be an announcement soon for 10 and 11 day alaska voyages RT from Vancouver in 2023 and summer cruises from LA on the Emerald to Mexico, the California Coast, and Hawaii.  

Any idea if there will be a Vancouver to California round trip cruise similiar to the 22nd September 2022 cruise from Vancouver to California in 2023? Also which ship? and more importantly what dates and when is the "announcement" due? got a tonne of Princess Cruises, British Airways snd WestJet credit to use up

I was booked on the 22/09 Vancouver to California cruise on Crown Princess, Long story short I cancelled my cruise & entire holiday...I'd be truly pi££ed to get on Crown and miss ports especially as I will be coming from the UK

Does anyone know when 2023 Fall California Coastals will be out??

I`m waiting for them aswell

Was meant to go this year but had a wobble and cant go....... got loads of credit from BA, WestJet and Princess Cruises to use up 

I`m on the Crown on 22nd September 2022 from Vancouver to California so I hope they manage to fix her !!

" The crown's next drydock, as of a few months ago, is to be this October in Portland but if they can't fix the issue before then " I have little hope they will be able to during.  I went on a tour of the drydock here in Portland when the Caribbean was sitting high and dry earlier this month.  The drydock team doesn't really get involved with engine issues unless its a complete replacement which obviously is more expensive than a fix, in most cases.  

I`m booked on the cruise from Vancouver to California before the dry dock period you mention...

I hope they manage to fix Crown before I come as I`m coming from the UK for this cruise on Crown to California !!!!!!!! 

I would be totally gutted if I cant get on the ship & sail to California

And back to P&O Cruises - They are launching Summer 2024 this week !!

I`m tempted to sail to the med on Arvia - Depending on the price of course...........

I want to go to Barcelona
