I didn't even look at this on the list she posted yesterday. I was looking at the Panama Canal cruises. SO excited for this one now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We flew to Nebraska for it and were just lucky enough for the clouds to clear for totality. So exciting. We are one cruise shy of elite so I hope ya'll don't take all the cabins before I get one! 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It was included in a list of upcoming cruises posted here on CC a week or so back. It will be available for Elite members to book on August 9th and for others on August 10th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even booked a 5-day solo to get there before any of our big cruises we want to do over the next two years. Haha! So my TA will be booking it for us on the 10th too. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donaldsc Posted August 7, 2022 #32 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Try typing "April 8, 2024 eclipse cruise" into Google. I am sure that there will be more cruises announced in the future. DON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrak Posted August 7, 2022 #36 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I have a feeling that, when this cruise is actually posted for booking, it may well be way overpriced. Hopefully not but it's hard to imagine a marketing person (J. P.) passing up the chance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully not but it's hard to imagine a marketing person (J. P.) passing up the chance. Here's a screenshot of a file Coral posted with the launch pricing. Doesn't look like they're charging a premium for the 10 day based on a per day comparison to the other two itineraries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought two pairs on our June cruise and have already spent them all. Oh darn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisetilidrop Posted August 9, 2022 #44 Share Posted August 9, 2022 While I can’t buy until tomorrow, I see we are in port and not at sea on the 8th. I’ve read where if it is cloudy the captain will maneuver to give the ship the best viewing. This will not be possible if we are in port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we can collectively pressure them to change it to scenic sailing. I would gladly give up a port to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't actually book until tomorrow but my TA sent me the price. $2749pp for a club-class mini-suite with Princess Plus plus $150 in taxes and port fees. Which is so low. We're on a 7-day Alaska now in September and taxes and port fees are $450pp. 🤯 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that hour is enough to maneuver around any clouds but I'd prefer to leave port earlier and have more time to reposition if necessary. I've never been to Mazatlán. Do they get the day time onshore winds and low coastal cloud cover like some other coastal cities? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazatlan is very well-placed, and will be an excellent place to see totality! The total eclipse begins just before 12:07:30pm MDT, and people in the downtown area will see about 4m 15s of totality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
