2021-2022 Caribbean & Panama Canal Deployment Release

[snoozecrooze]

Many of our wishes have come true for a tentative schedule release at last (well, aside from refunds coming on time...)

 

CARIBBEAN HIGHLIGHTS: [click link]

• 7-day jaunts: SKY / CARIBBEAN
• "Islander" sailings with San Juan, Amber Cove, and Grand Turk are back! (4 sailings)
• St. Kitts replaces St. Maarten on 7-day Eastern sailings with Caribbean
• 10-day Southern Caribbean: Mostly ENCHANTED (+ some others)
• 10-day Partial transit (11) / 14-day Circle Caribbean (just 3): Mostly CROWN
• + Discovery's existing short Caribbean schedule

 

PANAMA CANAL HIGHLIGHTS: [click link]

• only 4 complete transits btwn FLL and LAX: CROWN (2) / ISLAND (2; part of World Cruise)
• 2 complete transits btwn FLL and SFO (released with West Coast deployment): RUBY

 

NOTABLY MISSING FROM WEST COAST AND CARIBBEAN/PANAMA CANAL DEPLOYMENTS SO FAR?

• EMERALD
• CORAL
• SUN
• SEA
• REGAL
• ROYAL

The above should make up the SE Asia / AU+NZ deployments yet to be released for winter '21-'22.

 

Let me know if links don't work!

Thanks for the info.  Do you happen to know when these will be available for bookings?

I think it's about 2 weeks from now? Hoping someone else can get back to you with a more for sure date.

Just spoke with my vacation planner and they will be released 7/21.

Is that for Elite booking or for everyone?

Nice to see this.  I'm hopeful for a cruise sometime in '21.

Not sure, I'm Elite so maybe it is for Elites, not sure, didn't ask.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Can't wait to book!

I'm thinking about a New Year's cruise for '21.  I prefer the already announced Discovery 8 day that includes Tortola, but I have concerns about the ship being ready in time to sail next December.  I may look at Sky instead.

I was just on a Princess webinar - and yes, going forward you will have to be registered/logged in as a travel agent to access this information.  It will no longer be publicly viewable.

Glad it just wasn't me. Seems One Source is now log in. Was great to be able to look at up coming itineraries.

Bummer...guess we will have to depend on those that i think are agents on here to put them up...just as they were getting ready for hopefully Alaska 2022.  We had our big vow renewal one for 2020 canceled...covid...so i was hoping to be able to see when it opened for 2022 so i could try to grab exactly what we had last time or at least as close as possible. Now i will keep my eyes peeled for the posts on here and hope for the best........

I would not expect Alaska 2022 to be announced until at least December of this year or January of next year - which is the "normal" timeframe for Alaska/Europe itinerary announcements

The 2020 Alaska sailings were released almost a full month earlier than the 2018/19 sailings were announced.  Given current circumstances I'd be surprised if they come out that early this year for 2022

Spreadsheet version

Bumping this in case anyone is interested in the sailing lists I posted in the previous two posts!

[cruzrbachoua]

would love Alaska cruise tours for 2022 when they come out...please and thanks

[Tak8]

ceilidh1:  Thanks for the spreadsheet.  It's good to get an idea of pricing.

Good information. I find it odd that the spreadsheet omits any sailings on the Discovery Princess. Caribbean Itineraries for December 2021 are currently advertised on the Princess website. I wonder if delivery has been delayed. Hope not!

the Discovery has been bookable for Several months and was not part of this deployment announcement, so no need to include on the spreadsheet. Fares and sailings are bookable at Princess website.

Thanks for the explanation- that makes sense!

We have a 15 day transit on Coral booked for Oct 31, sailing E to W with EZAir booked already.  Wonder what happens now.
