AZJerry Posted September 6, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 6, 2019 It seems the search page has been updated to the new style since the last time I searched. I'm not crazy about the update. Also noticed that there is no way for the search to show our May 2021 cruise that we booked at least 6 months ago. It just doesn't show up in the search results. But booked cruise does show up.

pms4104 Posted September 6, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 6, 2019 The new search page showed up on my device last nite ... takes forever to load due to all the photos ... and it is most user unfriendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tailspintom Posted September 6, 2019 #4 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I just tried it on a mock booking for a cruise that we are booked on and found no issues. I cleared my history and cache. I am using chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lady Arwen Posted September 6, 2019 #6 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Sorry Princess, but I just don't like the new format. I'm old. I hate change. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LACruiser88 Posted September 6, 2019 #7 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I HATE this new format!!! Not user friendly at all!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brisalta Posted September 6, 2019 #8 Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) If you are referring to https://www.princess.com/cruise-search/cruises then the new format seems to need more steps to complete a search. I think they are trying to make it usable on a tablet. Edited September 6, 2019 by brisalta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wifeofbedo Posted September 17, 2019 #9 Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) I agree, I don't really like the new design for one reason in particular. When I search up cruises, it will give the name of the itinerary, but not the ship! I like to see all the info at a glance, the date, itinerary, and the ship. I hate having to click on every sailing just to see what ship it is on. Should be a given to include that info at a glance... My 2 cents edit: Sometimes when I search now, I get a ship name at the bottom. Sometimes not. I guess they are working on it... hopefully.

brisalta Posted September 17, 2019 #11 Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) If you are not happy with the new web page for searching for cruises do the following. At the bottom of https://www.princess.com/cruise-search/cruises page is a “Site Feedback” button. Click on it and then rate it 0 and then click on Website Problem and describe the problem with https://www.princess.com/cruise-search/cruises. Explicitly reference that URL in your complaint. When finished click on “Send Feedback” button Edited September 17, 2019 by brisalta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pompeii Posted September 17, 2019 #15 Share Posted September 17, 2019 My biggest gripes are that you can't search for a specific port on an itinerary anymore (ie, all cruises that stop at Venice), and that if you look at a cruise and then back out, it takes you all the way back to the beginning instead of back to your search list. So you have to start your search over. Suggestions for improvements would be to be able to choose multiple ships instead of just one, and also more than one cruise length (ie 9-15 days and 16+ days.) Right now, the only thing you can choose multiples of is the departure month. I have made these suggestions using the site feedback button and included my email address, but haven't received a response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseVA Posted September 17, 2019 #18 Share Posted September 17, 2019 When I pick "Plan a Cruise" -> Find Cruises I get https://www.princess.com/find/search.do which seems pretty straight forward. What are y'all picking to get that one loaded up with pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redhaven Posted September 18, 2019 #20 Share Posted September 18, 2019 It's a function of the browser. Firefox still accepts the old URL above and displays the old format, while Chrome converts it to the new and TERRIBLE thumbnail format. Everyone should use Firefox until that fails.

You are incorrect. Your Firefox has a stale browser cache. I use Firefox and I get the new format. Clear your local browser cache and you will get the new page displayed.

Redhaven Posted September 18, 2019 #23 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Well, my approach is to NOT clear my cache and continue using the old format! I just did that and it worked fine at booking a new cruise using the familiar options and not having to wait for the thumbnail pix to load. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "send feedback" button works as well as the "close door" button does in an elevator on a Princess ship. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
