clueless2 Posted February 24, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 24, 2010 When does Princess usually post their European cruises for the following year? I'm starting to do some research and you can already book them for HAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveThisCruisingThing Posted February 24, 2010 #2 Share Posted February 24, 2010 At a travel faire, the Princess rep said usually late March-early April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drews_Cruise Posted February 25, 2010 #3 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Yeah we've been waiting too. Seems like Princess is one of the last to post. They introduce them in the spring but it seems there is no guarantee that its in any particular month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted February 25, 2010 #4 Share Posted February 25, 2010 When does Princess usually post their European cruises for the following year? I'm starting to do some research and you can already book them for HAL.Traditionally, Princess starts to release their itineraries starting in late April or early May. Last year, they released them earlier and I have no idea if they will do the same this year. Not all itineraries are released at once; they do it over a month or two. That way, TAs aren't overwhelmed. I'd start checking for the new itineraries in early April but don't be disappointed if they're not posted until May.

Pia1913 Posted February 25, 2010 #8 Share Posted February 25, 2010 At a travel faire, the Princess rep said usually late March-early April. Last year it opened approx. April 9th. I was on a ship at that time and was able to do October 2010 booking while on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a captive audience. :) Sometimes, they've worked from just a fax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrivesLikeMario Posted February 25, 2010 #11 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I just got word that we should have advance notice in a couple weeks. It'll most likely be for only a portion of the itineraries at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll most likely be for only a portion of the itineraries at first.Just a word of warning is that a former member of this forum used to post the advance notice of itineraries and she was asked to cease and desist. :( Just in case you're planning on doing that.

DrivesLikeMario Posted February 26, 2010 #15 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Yeah, I remember that, but thanks for reminding me. I don't have any intention of doing it. ;) Must refer everyone to their TA I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Junky Posted March 3, 2010 #16 Share Posted March 3, 2010 We're anxiously awaiting Australian Itineraries. Both Celebrity and RCI release on March 29th hope Princess isn't too far behind or they'll miss our booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTheK Posted March 3, 2010 #17 Share Posted March 3, 2010 On the Coral at Christmas, we asked specifically when the westbound TA on the Crown (September 2011 sailing) would be announced. The answer was March or April. She gleefully sold us the two FCCs. Shalom from Tel Aviv. Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaroleLee Posted March 3, 2010 #18 Share Posted March 3, 2010 When does Princess usually post their European cruises for the following year? I'm starting to do some research and you can already book them for HAL. Was @ NY Times Travel Show this past week-end asked the same question & got blank stares. We are starting to plan & budget for Western Med. in 2011-so far only HAL has cruises posted for this itinerary. We have sailed the Crown x2 and loved the ship & Princess so it would be nice to firm up our palns ASAP. If anyone out there has info it would be greatly appreciated, Carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKOTTIEG23 Posted March 9, 2010 #24 Share Posted March 9, 2010 When does Princess usually post their European cruises for the following year? I'm starting to do some research and you can already book them for HAL. I was on the Ruby (Mediterranean) last May and remember that I was able to book it in early-mid March 2008. From what I remember these itineraries were the first to be released for that year. I'd keep your eye out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
