Johhno Posted May 5, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted May 5, 2014 that was the one going to Japan, have all the other cruises been cancelled in Japan and will the Sun Princess stay local Not sure about the Japanese season,but the stupid thing is you can still book this cruise on the Princess web site even though I had a call at 5.55 am this morning telling me it had been cancelled. Also I can still log into my booking and check all the details etc. Very confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had a look, It is a shame for you. I also hope that you had travel insurance for any flights, etc. as $30 isn't going to cover much.

The Sun on the Sydney ports has it in Sydney while in Japan at the same time. As for us over here in the West we will have Pacific Jewel based in Perth with the Sun/Dawn & Sea all here at different times in 2015. It will be interesting to see the new 2015/16 itineraries.

timtam2 Posted May 5, 2014 #7 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I wonder if the move of Quantum to Shanghai has caused Princess to reshuffle the deck. The Sun Princess wiuld not be much competition for Quantum, whereas Sapphire would definitely be a more attractive proposition for Japanese cruisers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted May 6, 2014 #8 Share Posted May 6, 2014 We are all waiting patiently for the 2015/16 itineraries to come out. Timtam2 you may be right on the mark.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiecruiser275 Posted May 6, 2014 #9 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the heads up i had my parents booked on this one. So i called princess and the girl at the end of the line said there was no cancellation but she would look....... suprise to her..... it was cancelled. All they said was an official email will be sent hopefully later today which offers a 30OBC if you stick to one of their replacement cruises offers or a full refund if no alternative chosen. So i guess we will hear more later throughout the day Yes short winter cruises to pacific islands will be on offer from Princess from Sydney next year .... so i guess princess now realises people dont want to sail carnival or P&O during winter.

I also hope that you had travel insurance for any flights, etc. as $30 isn't going to cover much. Yes Mic,have been doing annual travel insurance for a few years now. Just need an official letter from Princess to submit a insurance claim. Cheers Johhno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Johhno Good news for you then, so many people get caught out and either don't get insurance or buy it late so a lot of the trip is not covered if it gets canned early.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
