Princess just cancelled a few 2018 sailings due to redeployment

Check to see if your 2018 sailings are still listed, our April sailing on the Royal is a no-go. I'll have to find another ship for my wife's birthday cruise.

We had our first Princess cruise booked on Island Princess on April 28th 2018. We learned last night that it was cancelled. We booked this cruise with the "Sip and Sail" promo and are hopeful we can transfer that perk to a new cruise, otherwise we will likely just take our deposit and try another line.

I called this morning and they weren't able to give me a definitive answer about the promo, so I will wait a few days and call back.

I just checked and my April 2018 cruise to Hawaii is still there. Did you get an email or something from Princess telling you about the cancelled sailing? Or did you just happen to look on the site?

Someone on our roll call tipped me off, a call to Princess confirmed it.

Exactly which sailings are cancelled and what are the replacement itineraries?

So it has disappeared from your personalizer? My 2018 cruise looks fine.

Phew! Mine is still there

I wonder if Princess are working on the new itineraries for the rest of 2018 and have moved some of their ships around. I am sure we will find out shortly what they are doing.

Our cruise was on the Royal in April of 2018. A search on princess's website now shows no sailings for the Royal in April.

Our March 24th 2018 booking on the Crown was affected by these redeployment changes as well.

Was booked as leg #3 of B2B2B.

Their communication indicates we have 30-days to contact them to change/rebook, providing us $25pp OBC for the inconvenience.

If we fail to contact, they will cancel the booking outright and refund any deposit, etc.

So YES, is still showing in personalizer.

But NO, this voyage is blocked out on their system if you were to attempt to book it.

Best way to check is to sample book your existing voyage and see if it's still showing availability in the system.

We just got an email cancelling Island Princess they made an offer of $25.00 to move to April 3rd. Called three times today to find out if they would transfer sip and sail but got no answer. Was told someone in the "Yield Dept" would call us back when they make a decision. Think we will have to take the refund and look elsewhere.:rolleyes:

That is old news.

I'm sad for those affected but curious of what is to come! Hope we find out about the new itineraries soon!

Happily, our January 2018 cruise on Caribbean Princess has not been cancelled. :)

From where to where and for how long?

We were on the March 24, 2018 Crown that got cancelled.

In the past, do they normally come up with new itineraries for similar dates? The offer of $25obc is hardly worth it. Plus, my account is actually only showing $15 credit.

What do you mean redeployment?

The ships have been moved to other itineraries in other parts of the world. To me it appears the repositioning voyages from the US to Europe are mostly affected.

It means the ship is being moved to do a different itinerary. For instance, a ship could be scheduled to do a transatlantic to Europe and then is changed to a Panama Canal to Alaska. The cruise lines shift the ships around due to world situations or demand.

Thanks for clarifying

That is pretty normal when they make the changes so far out. At this point flight cannot have been scheduled so the odds of someone having a non-refundable expense is pretty low.

The $15 OBC is probably for a Future Cruise Certificate in your account. $15 is the lowest possible OBC from using an FCC so that is what is normally shown.

That is old news.

I don't know how it can be "old news" if passengers who were booked on the affected sailings are just now getting emails from Princess. :rolleyes:

Got email this morning- our 4/28/18 Pacific Wine Coastal on Island was canceled. This can happen when booking so far out.

We're debating about date and/or itinerary for re-booking.

"It is what it is"!!
