I was already aware that the Sky is sailing from PE, but I was referring to my earlier comment about how nice it would be for sailings from New York to Bermuda. Someone replied "yes, the SKY from Port Canaveral in 2025". It doesn't look like the Sky is sailing to Bermuda, at least not that I can see. Fingers crossed though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Cruises Fann Posted March 29 #29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) 10 hours ago, lx200gps said: +1 for sure. I'd love them to start sailing to Bermuda. Princess just completely changed 3 itineraries on the Island Princess in 2025 (July 4th, August 19th, August 29th) which are now 10 day Caribbean cruises from New York with an overnight in Bermuda.

Grego Posted March 29 #30 Share Posted March 29 11 hours ago, Astro Flyer said: If it’s like too much of her overhyping things, the announcement might not be any “MAJOR news”.. Unlike the previous SVP of Sales who didn’t prevent non travel agents from viewing his webinars, she has restricted her webinars to TAs only…why does she block passengers from learning about info that affects us? 🤔 I agree. This was a great vehicle for us non-TA's to stay informed and get involved. Most TA's don't have the time to get the word out in a timely manner. For us loyal Princess cruisers who have enjoyed nearly 60+ voyages under the SeaWitch it would benefit Princess Cruises to keep everyone on the team with all that is going on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted March 29 #31 Share Posted March 29 7 hours ago, AtlantaCruiser72 said: Princess have tried both in the past with little success, and to be honest neither would be a “game changer”, however marketing spin being what it is …. I think the market has changed a bit since then. The ships that were here were sold out and Royal made a major announcement that they are bringing the massive Wonder of The Seas to Miami in 2025 to do short sailings. Big change there as no one usually uses their new large ships for this. But I agree "game changer" sure is a marketing spin! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JGmf Posted March 29 #32 Share Posted March 29 As a person based in the Northeast, more cruising benefits/upgrades/improvements/enhancements out of Florida, while nice, just seems like more of the same... That said, let's hope it truly benefits customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has caused me to sail Celebrity and Royal more often as a result 🤷🏻♀️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the clarification. Sadly, a 10 day on such a small ship isn't right for us, but if Princess would put a larger ship to Bermuda on a typical 7 day, with three days at the Dockyard, that would be great for us. As it is now, we're stuck with NCL for such an itinerary, with the Breakaway and the Aqua, but we would definitely prefer Princess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RNRcruisers Posted March 29 #41 Share Posted March 29 Seems like those living in the area already have an advantage in that they don't have to fly to cruise. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida is our countries 3rd most populous state, only behind California and Texas. It’s also growing population wise at about 12% a year. The biggest clusters of the population are within a 3-4 hr drive of either Port Canaveral or Port Everglades. It only makes sense to try and develop ways to increase the number of guests living in the region who choose to sail Princess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldubs Posted March 29 #45 Share Posted March 29 There were a lot of negative posts on page 1 of this thread. I had to check to make sure I wasn't on the Celebrity forum. 😃😃😃 Fingers crossed the "game changer" leaks before April 5. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-E-W Many years ago the 4-5-4 was done and a lot of people took advantage of the "number of cruises" to get to Elite. I can remember that it was a very sore subject on CC as those that had worked hard doing longer cruises, and only getting credit for 1 or 2, were upset with someone being able to do a 4-5-4, and getting 3 credits. It was something that Princess offered but the people that booked these trips were thrashed pretty hard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s usually a difference in price, OBC and even room availability on cabins that are thus far empty which are impacted depending on how the cruise is booked. Interestingly the differences can go in either direction and can vary from ship to ship. So thrashers can pound salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
