Same thing for us.

We are Elite and it should be open to this classification one day ahead of the general public.

I can see pricing, but not the Best Sail Ever information. The cabins visibility is limited with no middle cabins viewing. Like I said, I will just wait until tomorrow.

Nope, I am looking at Alaska 2024. Not only can I not see sale price I can't even see availability for some cabins. Like I said, I will just wait until tomorrow. Thanks for the post.

Can't get access to the sale even though we are Elite. 2 times Elite access has been a problem. I'm done -- I will just wait until tomorrow -- disappointed with Princess at this point.

Last sale, I received no notification about a sale. Couldn't access pricing until the general public. I sent an email to the Loyalty department asking to have someone check why I was not receiving any notices and have not heard back. Today, no notification either. A little frustrated.

Anyone Elites heard anything from Princess regarding the sale? I am Elite and have heard nothing.

It would be nice if the shower heads changed from "fixed" to hand held.

Husband and I are Elite and we both got the excursion discount.

Icy Strait is one of our favorite ports -- small, simple and serene. We usually opt for Glacier Wind's whale watching tour -- great independent vendor and well run company. Icy Strait is one of those "love it or hate it" types of ports. We happen to love it. Here is a link that will provide you with port information: https://icystraitpoint.com/.

After reading your post, it sounds like you are looking at cost vs the experience. I have cruised with both lines and can answer a couple of questions: Based on my experience with the two lines I can tell you that I have never seen a Princess excursion to Alaska discounted. Royal has discounted some excursions on my itinerary but nothing that I was interesting in. Also, the discount was not that significant. If you are interested in a particular excursion I can check my itinerary and see if a discount is listed. Food is subjective so I won't comment on that. Besides, we are light eaters and usually go to the buffet -- we usually manage to find something and have never gone away hungry. Yes, Princess does have more Alaska based activities and Alaska themed food. I suggest that you go to the Princess.com homepage, scroll down to where it mentions Alaska and click on that entry --- you will find Alaska specific information that will be of value in helping you decide which line to take. Alaska has something for everyone and each line does it differently. If $$$ matter more too you then go with that. If you are looking for the Alaska experience, you might want to go with Princess. Good luck to you.

Good company -- great choice. We have gone out with GW many times and have always enjoyed our experience. Will be seeing them in July for our whale watching tour -- can't wait.

Congrats. Agree 100% on the pricing.

Congrats. We like the 14-day option -- good choice. We are looking at the 14-day on the Royal only because it includes Icy Strait.

Prices have also gone up for cruises. We expected this given how prices are changing everywhere (food, gas, utilities, etc.)

Looking at a 14-day May glacier cruise we have taken before.

Glad it worked in your case. I am still getting the error "Currently Not Available."

Congratulations! How were you able to make your booking? Did you call someone?

Yes, I am eager to find out pricing. Have already done my homework on other cruise lines --- all I need to see is Princess pricing. If data appears, then great. If not, then so be it.

Pricing does to us as we are considering other lines and itineraries.

Same here. Little by little information is coming on line. Hopefully, it won't be much longer.

I am logged in and did see that a few months are listed. However, like you, I can't access May and nothing seems to be coming up. I think the system is SLOWLY loading data. I will keep checking back every 15 minutes or so. Good luck to all.

Nope. I logged into my account, searched cruises for Alaska and all I can see is 2023 itineraries -- nothing for 2024 showing up.

Has anyone received any notification about Alaska bookings being opened up? We are Elite and I haven't received anything yet. Also, went into my account and tried to book and 2024 Alaska bookings didn't show.

Yes, it was about 5 years ago. With that said, I don't trust anyone when it comes to my reservations. I always check them once a week (excursion listing and booking summary) to ensure nothing has changed and I am not hit with any last minute surprises.
