bballmom21 Posted September 14, 2012 #1 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Have been away from Princess for awhile. Could anyone tell me if Princess has done away with summer cruises to carribean. Looking for next summer and don't see anything past April. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skynight Posted September 15, 2012 #4 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Princess moves their Caribbean ships to Europe in the spring/summer/fall. They are able to make more money on these sailings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunsetbeachgal Posted September 15, 2012 #5 Share Posted September 15, 2012 We ran into the same thing this year...sailed on Royal Caribbean...alot of similarities to Princess..probably the most so of the cruise lines that sail in the Caribbean in the summer months..

Agree...Royal Caribbean is a good alternative to Princess. We find them very similar and enjoy both lines equally. RCL tends to be a little cheaper for us, because their balcony rooms are much larger than Princess. We book a mini-suite on Princess, just a balcony on RCL. But, I sure miss the pizza and Trident Grille when sailing on Royal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted September 15, 2012 #7 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Princess has most of their ships in Alaska and Europe for the summer. None currently in the Caribbean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bballmom21 Posted September 16, 2012 Author #8 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Thanks everyone. We sailed princess in Aug. back a few years ago and thought we would go again, but I guess not. I guess we will go back to RCCL as we have to go in Aug. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted September 16, 2012 #9 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Princess moves their ships to Europe and Alaska in the summer, for better revenues. In 2010 they (and Celebrity) tried leaving one ship in FL to the Caribbean. they had to lower prices so much to fill her that they did not do it again.

Rare PurpleHays Posted September 17, 2012 #10 Share Posted September 17, 2012 If I cruise in the summer, it's on RCCL. Tried HAL one time, but I prefer Princess and RCCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
