I’ve been waiting for these to come out since that was going to be our big adventure that year but ohh well we’ll have to work around it I think there may be an error in the schedule. There is no way Sapphire can do the same route in 17 days. I would assume the 1 December would be LA to Santiago, very similar to 22 and 23 schedules.

Especially when it’s an itinerary I’m really excited about and there is a cabin I really want for it. I’ve never seen them open early but I’m like a 5 year old on Christmas Eve. Several years ago, I checked at 11PM the night before bookings were open. Lo and behold, the cruises were already on the website! On the other hand, I once checked at 8AM pacific time on the dot, but the new cruises weren't loaded until a few hours later. The oddest booking I ever made on opening day was while we were vacationing in Wyoming. I got up at 5AM to try to find wifi in Yellowstone NP. No go. We drove south through Grand Teton NP while I watched my cell service. Finally, we passed a spot, and we drove in reverse to hit the only place for miles that had service. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many dead zones out there. I was only one of a few to get a signal out there because I had Verizon. Crazy! You were desperate. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For victoria, any RT Seattle Alaskan cruise will give you about 4-5 hours in the evening of the last night. A coastal cruise might give you 10 hours or more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The files state that Sapphire will be doing three 10-day Eastern Caribbean sailings (2 to Tortola, 1 to Martinique). It's similar to what the Enchanted is doing during the winters. The dates are October 14, October 24, and November 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple Gallinule Posted July 25, 2023 #171 Share Posted July 25, 2023 On the Alaska spreadsheet, the last column on the right is labeled "NCF". I am unfamiliar with this. If someone can tell me, I promise to remember (until next time). 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MplsYogini Posted July 25, 2023 #174 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I really like the 11-day Inside Passage itinerary on the Coral on May 3rd, but is that too early in the season to be enjoyable? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone can tell me, I promise to remember (until next time). 🙂 It stands for Non-Commissioned Fare. Every PCL cruise fare quote you see consists of a fixed amount of NCF per day and a variable amount of commissionable fare (depends on cabin category, etc). The NCF is the same on all regular voyages and is less for longer voyages and world cruises. Note that a 21-nighter if often three 7-nighters B2B2B and nothing changes with the NCF. If you book with a TA that offers a cash discount off the cruise fare, that discount is calculated on the Princess list price, minus the NCF. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
