dannip711 Posted August 2, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I'm sure this question has been asked already, so please forgive me... But I was wondering when to expect Princess to release the 2018 dates (May specifically) for its Alaska sailings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzsnooze Posted August 2, 2016 #3 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I'm booked on the April 27 2018 Alaska cruise already so May should be coming out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishywood Posted August 2, 2016 #5 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I'm booked on the April 27 2018 Alaska cruise already so May should be coming out soon. That cruise you booked is a one-off round trip Los Angeles to Alaska that based on its timing was opened for booking with the 2017-18 California Coastal season. The actual Summer 2018 Alaska season could be released anytime between late November and next spring, though in another thread asking about Summer 2018 Europe it was indicated that all of Summer 2018 should be released fairly early in that range. So a little more patience required of the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which, does that mean the Golden Princess is returning to Alaska for 2018? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF - retired RRT Posted August 2, 2016 #7 Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) That cruise you booked is a one-off round trip Los Angeles to Alaska that based on its timing was opened for booking with the 2017-18 California Coastal season. We don't know yet and won't know till the 2018 cruises for after April are released. Hopefully, it won't be a "one off". It's heavily booked and was only made available 2 months ago.

Right after that the Emerald will have a 3 day from LA to Vancouver, probably re-positioning for the Alaska season.

Bizziecruzer Posted August 3, 2016 #9 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Historically cruises released March / April for the next year. We booked our 2015 cruise end of March 2014 when they were released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bUU Posted August 3, 2016 #12 Share Posted August 3, 2016 The pricing for some 2017 Alaska cruises on Princess was released on 2015-12-03. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzsnooze Posted August 3, 2016 #13 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Could someone tell me what "one off" means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle_and_hawk Posted August 3, 2016 #14 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Could someone tell me what "one off" means. It's usually a cruise offered only once during a year, most times it has to do with repositioning a ship from one area to another, or segment of a very long cruise. Example is there may be only one TransAtlantic cruise this year for a ship from Europe to the USA, as it's sailing back here for the season.

curleyjane Posted August 6, 2016 #15 Share Posted August 6, 2016 The pricing for some 2017 Alaska cruises on Princess was released on 2015-12-03. So pricing for Alaska 2018 will be released in December 2016? I was hoping to book Alaska September 2018 on our California October 2016 cruise.

I was hoping to book Alaska September 2018 on our California October 2016 cruise. Buy future cruse credits while on board your October cruise. $100.00 per person and you use it for the deposit on any future cruise. You also will get on board credits (amount is determined by the number of days and cabin category). Fully refundable if you don't use it within 2 years.

bUU Posted August 6, 2016 #17 Share Posted August 6, 2016 So pricing for Alaska 2018 will be released in December 2016?I've no idea. All I know is that there was at least one Alaska cruise on Princess in 2017 for which pricing was released in December 2015. Past performance is no indication of future returns.
