rocklinmom Posted November 8, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I was just looking over the summer 2020 Princess British Isles itineraries for my sister (we are doing it this summer on the Crown) and I noticed that it will only be sailing from Southampton and Le Havre again (like this summer) and no Dublin sailings are listed (?). Either they just haven't loaded them yet or they are already planning on not doing them, but they are this coming summer 2019. I had originally booked us out of Dublin but wound up changing to SH because I just wasn't sure how it would be in the "secondary" embarkation ports. Maybe I am misreading the new Princess website (which I hate), but I don't see it out of Dublin in 2020. It is on the Regal. Does anyone else see them? My sister was interested but I would want to see how it goes this summer with Dublin embarkation cruises, and now it's possible they won't be sailing from Dublin at all in 2020 (?).

CruiserBruce Posted November 8, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I would be asking this on the Princess board, as it has to do with their policies or procedures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocklinmom Posted November 9, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Ooh LHT28 you still have the old Princess website! Lucky! Thanks for the link. It does appear that there are no summer 2020 British Isles cruises sailing from Dublin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would, but then someone on that board will say that it belongs on this board so I'm saving a step 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocklinmom Posted November 9, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I see you are in Canada so maybe it's the curse of being in California, ha ha. Apparently some of the USA has the new Princess website and some don't. I told my sister if she wants to sail from Dublin it looks like she will need to do it this summer. Or preferably they should join us on the Southampton one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted November 14, 2018 #8 Share Posted November 14, 2018 We have often noted how folks try to fit their preferred cruise line into a specific itinerary instead of expanding their horizons to other cruise lines that might have better itineraries. In the case of Dublin departures in the summer of 2020, one might want to look at the offerings of Oceania or Azamara. That being said, these are two very good small ship cruise lines which are more pricey than Princess. Not all lines have announced their itineraries for that time period. so you might want to watch various data bases the next couple of months.

rocklinmom Posted March 14, 2019 Author #12 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Ah, that explains why the Princess British Isles cruises won't be sailing out of Dublin next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the changes referred to in that article only take effect from 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocklinmom Posted March 14, 2019 Author #14 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Princess is probably laying the groundwork though. It's interesting that they are doing the BI cruise out of Dublin this summer and could next summer apparently but chose not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinburgher Posted March 15, 2019 #16 Share Posted March 15, 2019 It is also an item on the cruisecritic news section: https://www.cruisecritic.co.uk/news/3853/ Best plan to visit when there is still a bigger choice of lines and ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
