BettyCruiser Posted April 4, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Thank you, this is great info. Do you have any info on Singapore departures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfanderso Posted April 4, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 4, 2016 This is what I have been waiting on. Do you know when this will be loaded on Princess website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipfriend_max Posted April 4, 2016 #4 Share Posted April 4, 2016 That's helpful information, thank you! :) Seems Diamond Princess heads back to Australia/NZ for northern winter season, and Emerald stays in USA, apparently. Does it mean Sapphire Princess is doing the Southeast Asia routes from Singapore again - so she is coming back from her charter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted April 5, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Interesting that Princess previously announced Iamond wasn't oming back to Aus. Guess it will be wait and see if it's Iamond or Emerald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Working 2 Cruise Posted April 5, 2016 #6 Share Posted April 5, 2016 My guess it's the Diamond, as the Emerald is scheduled for the West Coast. However, Princess is really late in announcing the 2017/18 itineraries, so, who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiecruiser275 Posted April 5, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted April 5, 2016 No information on Singapore yet. Could be as soon as next week or as far as another few weeks yet. From what I believe these should go on sale on the 21st April 9am AEDT (that should be 6pm on the 20th east Coast US time I think. If I can dig anything up on Singapore-Asia I will let you know. Maybe China on the Majestic will be announced at the same time who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipfriend_max Posted April 5, 2016 #8 Share Posted April 5, 2016 My guess it's the Diamond, as the Emerald is scheduled for the West Coast. However, Princess is really late in announcing the 2017/18 itineraries, so, who knows? I think Emerald is doing Australia/NZ in 2016/17 due to her redeployment from Europe to US West Coast via Arabia, Asia and Australia/NZ. That's a good opportunity to deploy her on those cruises. On top of that, Diamond needs to fit in on the Singapore itineraries for Sapphire, which is chartered during the 2016/17 season - but it looks in 2017 she will sail for Princess again - so Diamond could go back on the Australia runs, and Emerald on the West Coast/Hawaii and probably South America cruises.

I was confused by the last two choices, but I've worked it out. The Golden Princess sails on the Southern Explorer 6 day from Melbourne, and those passengers boarding in Adelaide are on the 4 day Getaway! I will be sailing the Getaway 3 day in November this year, so budget-wise my gut feeling is to pick the Getaway 4-Adelaide (although my State Capitol), Port Lincoln and Kangaroo Island are all new ports for me! A nice cruise and 3 new ports? I can sure "endure" that! :rolleyes: Off for a look on Princess website. I didn't expect the new schedule to be out for another 3 weeks at least.

Just back from the Princess website. The Golden Princess January sailings aren't yet on the website. I can approximately calculate what a base fare might be for me by dividing my current cruise fare by 3 and multiplying by 4 or 6. Yes, I'm thinking of being a greedy little piggy and not cruising in 2017 and waiting IMPATIENTLY for January 2018! I am planning to sail to Tasmania in 2022, as a Birthday Present to myself for an important birthday, so am considering the Southern Explorer as a trial run to see how I cope with the time at sea. Will talk to the TA about whether I should put a deposit down on the cruise to secure the 1 Window Suite that is suitable for me, as I need the Handicapped Accessibility, or trust to getting the Suite in November 2016, when I come back from my cruise with a Future Cruise Certificate, which would make the initial booking for me, a bit cheaper, and longer to save up for the essential International Travel Insurance! I'm not sure if I can delay buying my International Travel Insurance, and whether I could email her, from the Melbourne hotel to initiate the booking, using the details she'd already have about the Future Cruise Certificate. Aussie Cruiser, I think you've started something here! Be prepared to be CURSED by my TA on Thursday, when she gets all these questions thrown at her, and she's only expecting me to have the next Cruise Payment for her!
