I'm boarding the Sky next month with a bunch of ducks dressed as sharks, small but couldn't resist them.

Me too has been like this since March 1. Pricing a cruise for 2026 and wanted to see price changes. Looking at both Princess and celebrity but not ready to book yet. Clearing cache/cookies/history doesn’t help. Also tried different browsers and devices.

Same here. Canadian and it’s been like this for days. Can pick a cabin but then receive the error. Cleared cache/cookies/history used different browsers devices and incognito.

Yes, the past two days can't get past picking a cabin. Says We were not able to continue to the next step. Please try again or revisit us later this evening. Have been getting that for the past two days, cleared cache/browsing/cookies, tried different browsers, tried different devices and incognito. Not booking right now but comparing cruises for 2026 on princess and celebrity. Going on princess in two months, celebrity next year and 2026 comparing right now. Haven't cruised since 2014, once on NCL, three times on Celebrity, looking forward to Princess Sky right now.

Guess what.... a 'sale' has started on the excursions. Most went back to regular (pre-increase) prices. One stayed 20.00 more. Sale runs until Feb 25th

I just booked the Apex for 2025 last week any time dining. I received an email to book my dining. When I went to the website and looked at anytime dining more info it said I must prebook the dining. Not sure when I want to eat this far put but guess I can book and change times or just show up and expect I may need to wait.

I want to see if I can order it without the blue cheese, would prefer a different cheese but would take it without cheese if I had to. I've tried to like blue cheese but just can't. Maybe I'll order the black and blue soup, hold the Jack Daniels, hold the cheese, hold the onions........

Using the web version, I was able to enter my address and it would save it but it kept saying address not found or something like that when I tried to continue. Figured it was the address verification program that they use so tried Crt vs Court and a few other variations. Got out and went back in - looked at the order and my address was there, hit the place my order and received my confirmation. Another wonder of Princess IT programming. I have stayed away from the app after it screwed up my dining reservations and now only use the web version till I get on the ship.

Most excursions will allow up to 45 people on one bus but website will always show 20 spots. I have been tracking almost daily and only one excursion has gone down with spots available. With the price increases expect they are getting ready for a ‘sale’. Princess has been the worst for call centre questions. One excursion with two options both same start times one 30 mins longer and 40 dollars more. They have no idea why. Another excursion states that it is a full day but time is only 4 hours again no clue. I usually do private excursions and now I know why.

For our cruise coming up the beginning of April out of Southamption, all ship excursions have jumped in price. None are selling out and most still have the usual listed 20 spaces available. I only booked a few small excursions ranging in price from 99.95 to 139.95 for Bordeaux, Cherbourg and disembarking excursion to Stonehedge/airport All are now 35 - 45 dollars more per person and there are three of us. One that I had looked at but was out of my price range jumped from 349 to 459 - crazy.

I know I can have price adjustments should the price of the cruise drop with my non refundable deposit up until final payment, but yes, a cancel and rebook would be subject to 100.00 pp charge. Not that much in savings then since there are three of us in the cabin. I'm going to keep what I have and just keep watching for drops in price, if any, for the all included price. Thanks for all of the comments/advice. Its been 10 years since I last cruised and so much has changed.

Crunched all the numbers - The All Included package is cheaper using the regular drink package price. The Cruise Only adding the on sale drink package for all and 1 WIFI is cheaper. When booking Cruise Only and then purchasing a drink package, do I have to pay for the drink package up front (like shore excursions) or is it rolled into the price of the cruise. Having to reprice from All Included to Cruise only and if having to pay immediately for the drink package for three people over a year away, the savings aren't worth it.

My daughter doesn't drink alcohol so figured I had to keep her on the same package as us

I booked an All Included cruise for 2025 with a non-refundable deposit. I do want the drink package for all three of us in the room, what I don't need is WIFI for all three of us. I only need 1 sign-on. My adult daughter may use it once and a while and I would use it once in a while to check e-mails. Usually buying packaged is always cheaper than buying separately. When looking at my cruise it shows I can upgrade to the premium drink package, which I may do but I also saw the price of the drink packages not as an upgrade. There seems to be a special on right now of about 25%. When it shows the price of the drink package per person per night, do I then have to add 20% to the package - example - if showing 85.00 per night (this is in Canadian dollars) is the price actually 102.00 per night. Without the sale, the All Included is cheaper.

The restrictions now begin January 2026 so 2025 will be the last year unless the ship has zero emissions. Will have to start a roll call for this cruise!

Be careful. I added the premium package for the third person in the cabin. After being on hold for 30 mins they came back with a much lower price than I expected. They said it was a promo code. I was still two weeks out from final payment and paid online to be sure there were no issues with final payment. Good thing I checked my reservation prior to final payment as it showed I still owed money. I checked and they changed the price for the premium package to what it should have been without telling me. My reservation was showing final payment not paid. I paid it and my reservation is confirmed. The call centre is ridiculous. I had another cruise for next year and called to have the premium package added again for the third and was told it’s already included, I know it’s not. Hung up called back and was told the third person can’t buy the premium package. Hung up and third time I was able to add it. Not happy at all with Princess due to the call centre.

Mine isn’t until 2025

Made my decision Option 2 - . Liked the ports - Geiranger and for my Husband the train at Flam sealed the deal

Made my decision, Option 2 - liked the dates and the ports

Read through all of the posts in this thread. Wow - so many options. Trying to decide on a cruise for 2025. Not loyal to any one company, last cruise was 2015 with Celebrity (3 with them), 2009 Norwegian Hawaii cruise, Princess - cruising from Southampton in April this year to Spain and France. Didn't realize there were so many options. Main purpose of the cruise is to see the Fjords, will find something to do at the various ports. From Canada so used to the cold, don't like it but used to it. Options for 2025 1. Princess - April 26 - May 3rd - Southampton, Sea Day, Haugesund, Skjolden/Sognefjord, Olden, Stravanger, Sea Day, Southampton - Best price for 3 adults in the room, booked with a refundable deposit 2. Celebrity - May 10 - May 17 - Southampton, Sea Day, Nordfjordeid, Flam, Geiranger, Sea Day, Bruges, Southampton. - Higher price, includes both Flam and Geiranger, like that it is mid May but don't think there will be much of a difference in the three cruises. Non-refundable deposit unless paying 1,400 CDN more for the refundable option. 3. Celebrity - May 3 - May 10 - Southampton, Sea Day, Bruges, Olden, Flam, Bergen, Sea Day, Southampton - Both Celebrity cruises similar in price, includes Olden, Flam and Bergen. Non-refundable deposit unless paying 1,400 CDN more.

Didn't realize there were so many options, noticed the Norwegian Fjords topic at the top of this page so will post this there also. Main purpose of the cruise is to see the Fjords, will find something to do at the various stops. Options for 2025 1. Princess - April 26 - May 3rd - Southampton, Sea Day, Haugesund, Skjolden/Sognefjord, Olden, Stravanger, Sea Day, Southampton - Best price for 3 adults in the room, booked with a refundable deposit 2. Celebrity - May 10 - May 17 - Southampton, Sea Day, Nordfjordeid, Flam, Geiranger, Sea Day, Bruges, Southampton. - Higher price, includes both Flam and Geiranger, like that it is mid May but don't think there will be much of a difference in the three cruises. Non-refundable deposit unless paying 1,400 CDN more. 3. Celebrity - May 3 - May 10 - Southampton, Sea Day, Bruges, Olden, Flam, Bergen, Sea Day, Southampton - Both Celebrity cruises similar in price, includes Olden, Flam and Bergen. Non-refundable deposit unless paying 1,400 CDN more.

Being from Canada I am used to the cold, don't like it but am used to it. Main focus of this cruise would be the sailing through the fjords. Watched some videos of the sailing of Skjolden/Sogenfjord and Olden. Glad to hear that the Skylift would be open - was worried early in the season it wouldn't be. Like to walk/hike so will look into hiking at the other ports. This cruise is with princess and put down a refundable deposit so can always cancel. There will be three of us (my adult daughter is coming) and Princess had a good price with 3rd person free. Celebrity has a good itinerary including Olden, Flam and Bergen or one with Flam and Geiranger but no Olden but prices for Celebrity are much more especially with a refundable deposit and paying for the 3rd passenger. Will keep an eye out on the prices should they change.

I would prefer to travel in the summer - July, but due to vacation scheduling for 2025, an April 26 cruise may be the only one that works. Sky Princess 7 night sailing from Southampton. Is this too early in the season to go? Other option would be to wait until 2026

After travelling together for two weeks including 7 nights in a cabin together just might want to eat solo one night 😁

Oh well, guess will eat solo one day. Thanks
