cgoingmom Posted November 22, 2007 #1 Share Posted November 22, 2007 My DH and I were booked on the cancelled Sun Princess Trans Pacific cruise in 2008. Many of us found out here on Cruise Critics that Princess was keeping the Sun in Australia and cancelling our cruise. We were never notified by Princess but a "good will" credit showed up on our Princess captian circle account a few weeks after it was being discussed here. I had to tell my TA about the cancellation and she called Princess who said they knew nothing about it. Well Seatrade has just said that the Dawn Princess will not be returning to the US, but will be staying downunder in 2009. Of course we were booked on the Dawn April, 2009 SYD to SF Trans- Pacific cruise. Let's see if Princess ever tells us about this one shall we.:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sorry to say that Seatrade is correct. I emailed our TA and she sent me this link to the P&O press release on their website. http://www.pocruises.com.au/html/princess-cruises-announces-major-expansion-in-western-australia.cfm To everyone booked on the Dawn 2009 I know how shattering this news will be to you all. My thoughts are with you all and I do hope everything works out in the end. Robyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victravellers Posted November 23, 2007 #3 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Oh, how awful for you all I would be devastated to have 2 cruises cancelled. I hope Princess can work something out for you, Three times a charm. Best wishes for your future cruising Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted November 23, 2007 #4 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I'm sorry this happened to you -- twice; particularly since I know how popular these itineraries are and how quickly they sell out. A couple just joined our Roll Call for the 4/14/08 Sydney > LA Sapphire cruise after being on the waitlist for a cabin for 8 months! Even though you have been given 18 months' notice, the first opportunity to take a trans-Pacific cruise will probably be in 2010. Very frustrating for you. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Chatterer Posted November 23, 2007 #6 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Princess cancelled our original Dawn Princess cruise out of San Diego on May 4, 2008 and not word was ever mentioned to us by Princess. I had to tell my T.A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmcrusta Posted November 24, 2007 #8 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Robyn-This is really not funny. I'm betting this far out we get $0. Those of us being left on the docks by Princess for a second time and for the same itinerary. This should be interesting what they do.:( :mad: :eek: :confused: business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10X Posted November 24, 2007 #9 Share Posted November 24, 2007 We too are victims for the second time, along with some friends that booked with us. However, I'm holding out hope that, with several months to go yet, they'll substitute another ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Chatterer Posted November 26, 2007 #10 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Though, if you book through a TA, it should be the TA that Princess notifies (not you directly). Thus, your TA should tell you. TA says Princess didn't tell her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted November 26, 2007 #11 Share Posted November 26, 2007 TA says Princess didn't tell her. I figured that out and deleted the message. Sorry you received it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
