lbfluffy Posted July 28, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 28, 2018 We have been on the Grand many times. Are there any plans to change ships from San Francisco. It would be nice to have a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micahs Grandad Posted July 28, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 28, 2018 We were on the Grand for the first time this past February. At the plat/elite party captain said she would stay there for close to two more years at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishywood Posted July 28, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Before Grand Princess, Sea Princess was the ship homeported in SF (splitting the year between Australia). Before that, was the first Regal Princess. And before that, the first and by-then-decrepit Sky Princess. I think it safe to assume that Grand Princess will remain in SF as long as she is the oldest ship in the fleet sailing North America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though stranger things have happened than Princess having Grand swap places with Emerald or Ruby: the former having skipped Alaska for Europe in 2019, the latter now on the Australia/Alaska deployment rotation (as Sea Princess did from SF a decade ago).

I believe before the Grand was homeported in SF, it was the Star Princess stationed for this port. I don’t remember the Sea princess being here but I suppose it is possible.

pris993 Posted July 29, 2018 #10 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I have been on the Grand about 6 times since it was home ported in SF... have two more cruises booked. While it might be nice to have a change, I am just thankful we have the Grand, Princess has done a great job keeping the ship up and service on board is the best I have experienced on any Princess ship... I have 26 Princess cruises... went on the Royal last year for the TA, like Grand better. Hear they may put the Royal in LA, thought maybe the Ruby might move to SF? Just my thought, like the Ruby as well... We will see I am booked on the Grand thru 1/2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted July 29, 2018 #11 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Sea Princess was in S F. Sailed on her twice to Alaska. The Star was here for just a few cruises, sailed her then, they brought up the Grand. Golden was here once, went to Alaska and then to South America I think and then to other ports. What their saying. Since Grand going to Vancouver and not rt from here, might be doing Alaska or not then go some other port. Bring another ship here, they think a bigger ship. I like the Grand even if older.The crew really like her. Bigger/newer ship would be nice though. Least we have a ship in S F to sail on and don't have to fly to LA if we don't want to.

I think the Grand is the oldest in the fleet we took the first cruise on the Grand in l998 from Istanbul to Barcelona. At the time the Grand was the biggest ship afloat, people came out in Istanbul and stood on roof tops to watch her leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted July 29, 2018 #13 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Yes..It was the Grand then the Golden, then the Star. In this class of these ships. I like the size of the ships. The lay out is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linsifer Posted July 29, 2018 #14 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I sailed on the Golden out of SF for a 10 day voyage to Mexico in 2007. I’ve sailed on the Star out of LA down to Mexico in 2002. In 2017 we sailed on the Grand out of SF for a 10 day to Mexico. Next April we’ll sail her to Hawaii for a 15 day cruise. I’m looking forward to a newer ship out of SF. But the Grand was fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBetti Posted July 29, 2018 #15 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I agree, it is great we have a ship homeported in SF, but it would be nice if they rotated ships. Have been on the Grand many times, because it is ported in SF and it is easier than flying to LA. But a change would be nice. Leaving the 4th of August for Alaska on it, and booked again next year for a coastal trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
