Thrak Posted May 28, 2016 #2 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I looked at it and showed it to my wife. It's an interesting itinerary but she said it was a definite "no" vote on her part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted May 28, 2016 #3 Share Posted May 28, 2016 We are considering it. I haven't gotten Jeannie to bite yet. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrockwitt Posted May 28, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted May 28, 2016 When we booked this cruise the last time, there was a wait list of 500+. My friend did not get on it. She is going to make this one.

lrockwitt Posted May 28, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) Paul..Maybe she will get that urge to go again. I know you have been a couple of times. We are looking forward to seeing some of the places we missed.

Rare TracieABD Posted May 29, 2016 #8 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Total bucket list item for me. I've done the Buenos Aris to Santiago before, and it just was not long enough. I could totally spend seven or eight weeks on a cruise ship around South America. Maybe after I retire… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait.... Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app We were on the 49 days...on the Grand. Were u on that one? GREAT itinerary! Right now we are booked on Cunard, Queen Victoria, 50 days almost same itinerary, in January 2018...free gratuities, and good price! Just saw the Princess cruise yesterday. Now have to decide which ship. Too bad Princess doesn't give more special deals on these long cruises. Never been on the Island. How does it compare to Royal?

For the 60 day cruise, there are free gratuities and $200 obc for inside and ocean view cabins and $500 for all others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lrockwitt Posted June 1, 2016 Author #14 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Since it is so early, Princess will have more promotions for this cruise. Just have to wait and see how good they are? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk We did the 2016 version of this cruise on the Ocean Princess. Booked it almost two years in advance. At the time of booking it was sold as a single cruise. About 7 months before sailing, it was offered in various segments (MIA-RIO, MIA-BA, RIO-BA, BA-Santiago, Santiago to MIA). We rebooked as four segments, upgraded our cabin and still saved about $2000 per person. Only problem was we only had two more FCDs on account so one segment had to go under full deposit. Not really complaining. :D So yes, book now and watch for things to change for the better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have deposits on the Island 60 day and the Queen Victoria 50 day. Will keep checking for any deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will keep checking for any deals. We have deposits on both these ships also... We favor the Princess itinerary....but the Island reviews are horrible!! Seems they added staterooms, and took away public areas...vey,crowded everywhere! We were on Queen Victoria last year to South Pacific/Austraila .... A nice ship. This will be our 2nd trip around Horn...a really nice trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be our 2nd trip around Horn...a really nice trip! We did the 15 day thru Panama Canal on the Island in March/April this spring. She's a great ship with marvelous staff! For more details, check out my review :http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?p=49666538 I had read so much ahead of time I was concerned too. It was a great experience, so much better. It's all just opinion, but I'd sail her again in a minute, if I weren't busy thinking about our January trip on the Crown around Cape Horn! :D Happy Sailing!

satxdiver Posted June 5, 2016 #24 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Tempting cruise but I don't think I am up to 60 days at sea. We have done the Santiago to BA segment and will be doing the BA to FLL segment this winter. Nice thing about Princess is that you can cancel your reservation up to final payment time and you can take advantage of most specials after you have booked with a simple phone call. Book now and watch the prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bette And Bill Posted June 5, 2016 #25 Share Posted June 5, 2016 We are looking to book this cruise. We have not sailed Princess before but have sailed quite a bit aboard Royal Caribbean and Celebrity. What are some of the things we should look forward to while on Princess?
