We have sailed on the Zaandam (2022 World Cruise ship) and it's an older, more intimate ship. Holland America will be posting its 2023 127-day World Cruise on Jan. 18th. 128-Day Grand World Voyage Holland America SHIP Zaandam DEPARTS Fort Lauderdale, Florida, US ARRIVES Fort Lauderdale, Florida, US JAN 3, 2022 MAY 12, 2022 MORE DATES & FARES- 128-DAY GRAND WORLD VOYAGE Inside From $22,499* Wow, $22k pp is a lot of buckarooskis. To be able to afford that, I’d have to remove the auto-gratuity LOL Edited January 16, 2021 by crooooze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vp1 Posted January 16, 2021 #27 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Just for more reference, my wife and I are booked on the Island Princess (Princess cruise lines) out of Fort Lauderdale, January 5, 2022; 111 day world cruise that returns to FLL at the very end of April. Total for an obstructed ocean view for 2 is about $46 k. Definitely a LOT of $. However, the promotion that they ran last fall was, at this rate, all inclusive for their drink package, unlimited WiFI, and all gratuities included. (plus $1,700 in OBC and a few speciality restaurant dinners included as well). This is about twice as much per day as we usually pay for Carnival, but it is with Princess, does come with gratuities, WiFi and drinks and does include the port charges for about 50 ports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds close to normal Princess per day prices. The main reason round the world cruises are higher is because they are longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 17 day with plenty of Sea. Days which we love. We've done this trip with Princess and loved it. If you've taken this one before could you tell me a little bit about how it was and some of the activities they had on board. Also, if you have experienced, Verandah or one of their Signature Suites would appreciate that info too. My wife is retiring at the end of 2022 and thought this would be a nice celebration cruise for her, since she loves those sea days.
