    I don't blame you at all. However I've done just that, especially if I already have some on board credit (OBC) from a promotion, a travel agent gift, military service credit or shareholder's credit.

     

    Knowing you're new to Princess, I think you might not be aware of the last two sources of OBC. If you're active duty, retired or honorably discharged from the US or Canadian military, Princess will give you I believe $250 of OBC as thanks. That OBC can be used for excursions or whatever.

     

    If you own at least 100 shares of Carnival Cruise Corporation stock (symbol CCL), you can get shareholder's credit with the amount depending on the length of your cruise.

     

    Search this forum for much more detailed information on these credits.

    Thanks. I had heard of it. We get credit for NCL shares.

    I completely understand as I didn't want to buy September 2025 excursions so early. I was surprised when they went up so far before the cruise. I still haven't bought mine even after seeing three of the ones I was interested in go up USD15.00 per person. I might buy one at a time but it still seems really early to buy them.

     

    Well, since they are refundable,  I may book a couple of the essentials.  On Celebrity,  they'll do a 45% sale on holidays, which can really add up!

    In ten years I have never seen a sale on Princess excursions. I have seen the prices of some excursions go up including some of the ones I was looking at for my September 2025 cruise to Iceland. 

    Thanks. I just feel silly buying March 2026 excursions this early!

    Hello everyone.  I can't seem to find any chatter about this cruise we booked in February.  I have a few questions so hopefully someone will join in.  I read the Joy cancelled it's itinerary for the beginning of 2024 and it's doing the transatlantic instead.  This seems rather unusual since it has NO itinerary once we disembark Jan 19th until I believe Feb 4, at which time it's doing a reverse transatlantic back to Miami.  1) is this typical to come back so quickly 2) if this is an overhaul can it be done in approximately 2 weeks & lastly I am seeing very little activity for Southampton shuttles in Jan to London so have I picked a very bad time to visit England?  Would love to chat with others about this cruise.  Yes I love cruising on a less than full ship, but I don't want to cruise for 13 days with just hubby and myself😉

    My wife and I are on the February 5 Southampton to Miami. Also surprised at the several day gap after Miami to Southampton. My guess either a private group short cruise or short term maintenance? We just didn't feel like a long flight and got a great deal. Heard the Joy was good for a winter Atlantic crossing. Less than full occupancy would be a treat. We were on one of the first post covid cruises from Greece.  Occupancy between 50% and 60%. Loved it!
