Will try that first thing in am when I hope to not be on hold for 2 hours. Same carrier...three options

We are 48 days out so technically we could rebook but lots more $$

Carrier shows as canceled but Princess shows it happening. Booked through EZ Air. Will they rebook me, will it be at the same price, do I need to call? Any help would be appreciated.

We have been cruising with Princess for 20 years and have been on short, long, transatlantics, panama, Alaska etc on both old and new ships. We have witnessed the evolution of the line. What we experienced 20 years ago is not the same as what we last had in 2019. Some of the evolution has been positive, some not so much. An example would be controversially, the food. Both the quality and the choices (I recall frog legs, crab legs, much more French gourmet type dining room meals. I also recall very limited alcohol and wine choices as opposed to a what we see now. Again, some positive some negative. That said, the common thread has been an escape from work and reality into a soothing environment that allows us to relax and reconnect. We have met lovely people, some of whom have become life long friends. The other common thread is the staff on Princess, we have rarely seen a bad apple in the bunch. We are scheduled for our first post-covid cruise late summer on Enchanted and we remain looking forward to it despite the commentary we read. I am a realist and understand the challenges the industry is facing right now from staffing to sourcing and logistics. Do I expect it to be different...yes. Will I adjust, maybe as we are fairly easy going. But looking across the various chat boards, I think it may be an underestimation to believe the issues presenting on Princess are unique to this line. They appear to be across all mass market lines. Everyone has to make their own call. For some, they will roll with it. For some, they will complain about all that is wrong (as many do and have for 20 years reading these boards). For some, they will wait until the ship rights itself (pun intended). Do what you find comfortable for you and your vacation dollars. No one is right here and no one is wrong.
