Has anyone else noticed that the person pictured next to Carmen Roig is Marsha Patrick, Director of Sales, Western US and Canada? Western US? Canada? Could we be talking about some type of deal with an airline or possibly Amtrak to get people from the western US and Canada to Ft. Lauderdale/Tampa and Port Canaveral? Guess we'll all find out in a few hours.

You're welcome!

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.

Yes, Sky is sailing from Port Canaveral in 2025. We are booked for November 30, 2025.

Having never sailed from the West Coast I can only relate how it works in Florida. When the cruise returns following the first 7 days (known as turn around day) all current passengers who are also booked on the next 7 day segment are mustered in a venue aboard ship. After all other passengers are disembarked, the group staying onboard are taken as a group to US Customs where they are checked and then ushered right back aboard the ship. The procedure doesn't take very long.

🤔 Never booked a 2 day back to back with another segment but I would assume, 2, no different than two 7 days back to back.

That is correct; whether booked as two 7's or a 14, you get two mini-bars.

No and no. We booked a Feb 2025 and a Nov 2025. We always book Standard.

A number of things should be considered when trying to decide which way to go. Recently, I wanted to book a 14 day but the cabin I wanted was not showing as available however, it was showing available for two 7 day cruises. I looked at the price for the two 7 day cruises versus booking the 14 day cruise and the price difference was just over $300. Paying $300 more and losing $50 shareholder and $50 military made it an easy choice. Research, research, research.

We have found that the cruise fare for two 7 day cruises is usually higher than booking a 14 day cruise. Also, on a 7 day, the military benefit is $100 and the shareholder benefit is $100. By booking a 14 day cruise the military benefit is $250 and the shareholder benefit is $250. So you may pay more for the two 7 day cruises and lose $50 military and $50 shareholder benefits.

Thanks!!

Thanks so much for the info.

Thank you. Did that but didn't see the names of several places that have recently been made available on other ships. Was wondering if I was missing something. Thanks for the reply.

Thank you!!

Can anyone tell me what if any Casual Dining venues there are on the Caribbean Princess? Thanks!
