Rare cheznandy Posted June 1, 2016 #26 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Something interesting I noticed, Sun Princess last booking in Sydney is 17th May 2018, then no more dates. Sea Princess has a booking on 25th May 2018 then returns 8th September 2018, so that may be a World cruise. The Golden Princess arrives 10th Oct 2018, then looks to go to Melbourne Diamond arrives 22nd October cruising from Sydney. Emerald arrives 5th November 2018 cruising from Sydney. Diamond and Emerald have bookings years ahead....no mention of Golden. Maybe Sun Princess is leaving as that is around the date that Dawn Princess leaves next year. Time will tell:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell:p Are they from Port Schedules? Around May / June has been when Circle Pacific, Circle South America or similar have been leaving, so that may be the answer to the Sun, but I don't think it will be too long before Sun and Sea join Dawn.

Rare cheznandy Posted June 1, 2016 #28 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) Yes, but after the May 2018 Sun Princess date there is no bookings for Sun Princess from Sydney, Sea Princess has bookings. Just thought that if we have Golden, Emerald and Diamond for a season, Sun may be leaving. Problem is, our winter, we will only have one ship if Sun Princess goes......and it will be on a World cruise for most of it!

CassCruise Posted June 1, 2016 #29 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I was trying to find out if there was going to be a Circle the Pacific cruise so was going through a whole lot of sites/ports and one US site has the Sun Princess doing a Hawaiian round trip in May which ties in.... hope not but.... I want the circle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much different now though really, Sun and Sea one on Circle Pacific, one in World Cruise. Next year it's one on World Cruise and Golden on CP. What concerns me most is that all the ships will be way too big if Sun and Sea go too. They've just arranged for them to Dock in Cairns if all three go seems a waste (as I understand it Diamond, Golden and Emerald are all too big) also makes While Bay an even bigger white elephant, none of the potential replacements for the three sisters can get there.

The Sun Princess has some random bookings in Darwin for 2018..... 6th May 2018 27th June 2018 2 Sept 2018 12 Oct 2018 9th Nov 2018 and there is one in Melbourne for 26 Oct 2018 so not sure what it is doing?? but doesnt make sense for it's 25th May Sydney booking for a circle Pacific. Fingers crossed for you:) Edited June 1, 2016 by cheznandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ship Drongo Posted September 17, 2017 #34 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Yes, noticed that the other day, it is doing a fabulous journey back via Asia, similar to a Circle Pacific, we did this on the Diamond a few years ago finishing in Vancouver, the best itinerary!! They are being sold as separate itineraries too, not just one big long one. Imagine cruising from Melbourne all the way to Vancouver!! Australia, Asia, Alaska and Canada!! Golden is booked back in Sydney October 2018, so must be coming back via the Pacific/Hawaii. Lucky for those with lots of time:p Golden is actually leaving Melbourne on the 15th March and WE are on her to Singapore. Our favourite ship. Does anyone know if she has the new super beds? We were on the Sun in January and had the new beds which were SOOO comfy.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on the Sun in January and had the new beds which were SOOO comfy.:cool: These posts are over a year old;) I realise the itineray has changed since then as i was booked on it..... Not sure about the beds, we had them on the Emerald and agree they were comfy, I guess I will know next week when we cruise on the Golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportfisher Posted September 19, 2017 #36 Share Posted September 19, 2017 We had a new bed in late May on the Golden however according to out steward not all decks were done. They may all be done now. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted September 19, 2017 #37 Share Posted September 19, 2017 The beds were comfy when we were on her but I couldn't tell you if they were the new ones or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted September 19, 2017 #38 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Wonder if they'll offer Circle Pacific in 2018? Nope! The itineraries are already out up to around April 2019. No Circle Pacific in 2018. In fact there are bugger all Princess ships in Australia in our 2018 winter. Sea will be on the world cruise, Sun is going off to Asia for a few months, Golden goes to the US, Diamond goes to Japan (unless things get dangerous up there) and Majestic doesn't arrive until September. PS I heard a rumour from one of the Royal F&B people that Majestic might be getting a minor refit before she comes to Australia. They might be putting Crooners on her instead of the French restaurant, and maybe doing some other changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MMDown Under Posted September 19, 2017 #40 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Golden Princess will be one of seven Princess ships cruising Alaska this season. And that is only Princess! No wonder there are special deals and last minute specials coming out all the time in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
