Unfortunately, when I look at the Island Princess Board list for January there are 5-6 different boards set up for the different segments of this World Cruise. None of them have much activity and at least one points to this World Cruise Board. Don't know how to get around that problem - point everyone to this board?

 

On another subject, on the Facebook group, I've seen no discussion of onboard activities such as a Meet & Greet, slot pull get together, cabin crawl, etc. Nor have I seen discussion about private tour groups being organized. Is that not allowed? Or are Princess passengers just not into that?

We're on the 2025 full World Cruise.  I'd like to start working on some private small group tours. We used Top Private Tours company for a number of shore excursions in S America 1.5 yrs ago.  Check out their website and then look their tour for Columbia.

 

I want to set up a private tour in Cartagena on Jan 8th.  My husband and I would like to add 4 - 6 more people to our group. Cost: If we have 6 people = $87 pp with private car, English speaking guide, 4 hours; we can always adjust with our own driver.  If we have 8 people = $78 pp.  I would aim for a 10-2pm or 11-3pm.  The Princess tours leave about 9:30am.  

Email me at nalarcon@uw.edu to set this up.  Top Private Tours has a great track record from our experience.

Why does Princess put there worst rated ship on world cruises

Didn't know that.  "Island" is my favorite Princess ship.

Also, it's a narrow ship and perhaps can access some ports that the larger ships can't.

Those are great tours.

However, you should put this on your roll call.

This was posted in error on the general Princess forum.

 

Maybe @Host CJSKIDS could merge these 2 pages onto the roll call?

Hi, Sherry and Dave here. I just looked at the information and it looks very interesting. I sent them my information. I also found an interesting tour in Barcelona that tours the city and goes to the Monastery. Definitely interested in that one. Thanks for sharing the information.

Hi - FYI - there is a totally different WC 2025 Community.  Not sure how to direct you to it, but they should have been merged.

[FullTimerRVers]

Can you copy the web address when you access that forum and paste it here?

 

This business of multiple forums plus segment forums for this cruise is crazy! Too bad someone can't grab control and put it all together.
