dreaminofcruisin Posted July 26, 2023 #201 Share Posted July 26, 2023 hmmmm...seems like some things are still changing. Not all 2025 cruises say up to $20 on the drinks price---it's still $15 for Plus and $20 for Premier. Also, I only see the OBC for South America so far. Guessing some things are bugs....and might still get corrected.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coconutmonkey Posted July 26, 2023 #202 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Has anyone been able to get pricing for the 2025 Alaska cruises. I can see them but it says pricing not available. I am logged on as Elite. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MudderBear Posted July 26, 2023 #203 Share Posted July 26, 2023 albeit they are listed as "unavailable". Hopefully they will open soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out that this voyage is being sold in segments, so the cabin we wanted is being held for the first segment. Dang. Yes, found that out. They’ve blocked the cabins in most categories for the full 51 nt voyage. That stinks. If you book b2b’s it’s a lot higher. Very disappointing. They didn’t have to block so many, guess it’s all about the money. 😞 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s listed back at the beginning of this thread. So, they are loading the cruises now and opening the sale as stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gather you have been out of touch for a while. The coffee card is gone and no coffee-only package exists. You need to purchase pay-as-you-go now if not on a package. There is a Zero Alcohol Package you can look into that includes the coffee, but I don't see it as economical compared to the Plus fare option.

cubsfanone81 Posted July 26, 2023 #209 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) Thanks for the heads up! For a family that is trying to plan ahead to 2025 its great to see this level of detail before the on sale date. We're debating between the northbound and southbound itineraries on the Sapphire Princess. We've never been to Alaska before (only 1 Caribbean cruise in our past), so I'm looking for insights from others who have been before on the pros/cons between these itineraries. I've outlined some key differences below. For reference, we will be traveling with 3 generations of family including grandparents and two kids (ages 5 & 9) Any helpful thoughts to share? Northbound includes College Fjord - Southbound includes Hubbard Glacier Southbound has twice as as much scenic cruising time at Hubbard Glacier (5 hrs) than the northbound with College Fjord (2.5 hrs) The total time in Glacier Bay is similar, but arrive at different times - 6 AM for northbound vs 9:15 AM for southbound Northbound is in Juneau 3.5 additional hours with a more reasonable arrival time (8 AM vs 6:30 AM) Southbound arrives in Ketchikan at a more reasonable hour - 10 AM instead of 6 AM on the northbound Southbound departure is 4.5 hours later (8:30 PM) than the northbound (4 PM) Thanks for helping a newbie out.

MudderBear Posted July 26, 2023 #211 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I did southbond, and will do it again. I like to get the land portion in first, and then be pampered at the end. Hubbard Glacier is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it disappears every so often on the So American itineraries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize that this is no longer available. I think the pay as you go would work for us. At most, we would only have one coffee in the afternoon per day or every other day. We definitely don't drink sodas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerrySueW Posted July 26, 2023 #221 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I just booked an OV cabin for Antartica at standard fare and got 650 OBC per person. We'll also get 250 shareholder credit. More than enough to cover crew appreciation, wifi and any drinks we might want. The new itinerary should result in better air fares as well since it is RT from Buenes Aires.

Rare Ken the cruiser Posted July 26, 2023 Author #223 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) Here’s a fun fact. We’re Platinum disembarking from our Diamond cruise in Japan, and we can see the prices of the new 2025 SA itineraries. Probably because it’s July 27 over here in Japan. 😂 Edited July 26, 2023 by Ken the cruiser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
