Summer Caribbean 2024 Deployment:

Wonder of the seas: Port Canaveral.

Adventure of the seas: Port Canaveral.

Independence of the seas: Fort Lauderdale.

Symphony of the seas: Cape Liberty.

Liberty of the seas: Cape Liberty.

Vision of the seas: Baltimore.

 

November 2024 Adventure of the seas has a drydock and that's why it comes to Europe. 😞

is it just the week-long Caribbean? Because for example, Freedom of the Seas is also missing. And as Rhapsody obviously does NOT serve Caribbean in summer, the probability is high to have her in Europe 2024. Wouldn’t know where else she could sail? 
Mariner is also missing, but she’s for sure doing short cruises in Caribbean. And how about Allure of the Seas?

Eye watering prices when you convert $ to £. Do Princess not know there is a cost of living crisis here? I am attracted to the ones going to Istanbul and Israel but will wait to see if there is a late deal

when the new itineraries for the very new season where on sale, the fares have always been outrageous and got lower after a certain amount of time.

Have a look at Celebrity, especially Apex from Southampton. Same outrageous prices.

Perfect, thanks for posting @Coral!!!

Any information on ENCHANTED PRINCESS? Obviously she’s not coming to Europe? Is she taking over the Northeast/Canada program from Caribbean Princess?

That's weird.... Maybe Enchanted could be added at a later date?

There are many reservations in ports for Enchanted in Med just to let her out of the itineraries...

Or possibly another ship will be sold and they will put Enchanted in her place?

possibly she takes over the deployment of Caribbean Princess otherwise: summer Caribbean, fall Canada/New England.

@Cathygh Great, thanks!! So no Enchanted for Europe 2024??

nice!! You also have it for Europe 2024? Or anyone  has it?

We had champagne waterfall on Regal Princess in October.
The blue shopping bags were still available upon request by your stateroom attendant, I even got two. Bathrobes you easily could order via app without any extra cost.

The hand warmers

 

Very nice! Was this provded to every guest, or just to passengers who have reserved a Cabana place?

Do they serve snacks/fingerfood during happy hour? I recall that from Koningsdam and other recent travel diaries.

 I recall they had different "happy hour" events at different bars and although I did not attend I did hear that they had some finger foods/snacks around. I also recall on sea days they had the afternoon tea as well. 

 

Okay perfect, thank you. 🙂 Yes, the snacks or fingerfood I also recall, aside the buffet with fingerfood. 🙂 The afternoon tea is served every day, apart from embarkation day.

Thanks for your review, @sayvan!!

From Koningsdam I remeber that the Billboard Lounge hat a small buffet with fingerfood/snacks, whichis also featured on Nieuw Statendam and Rotterdam. Did Billboard on Nieuw Amsterdam feature it as well?

I consider Nieuw Amsterdam for early 2024 in the Caribbean.

@Jim_Iain Great review, thanks for that!

I have a question regarding the rooftop terrace and the outdoor movies: do you also get served/offered complimentary (movie) snacks, as you get on Princess Cruises‘ movie under the stars, such as popcorn? Or movie snacks like chicken wings, as onboard the newest Holland America ships?

Thanks

Also what about Limassol & Haifa cruises? They seemed to be popular this year.

As far as I understand it, Voyager otS takes those cruises over to a certain degree: no Hafa but Ashdod, but also weekly calls at Limassol. I talk about the cruises from Piraeus which are offered for several weeks in 2024. I could see them as a certain "replacement" for Rhapsody's itineraries from Cyprus and Haifa.

Any news on Rhapsody of the Seas or probably Adventure of the Seas for EUrope 2024? @SummmerInKefalonia

Rotterdam had snacks in Billboard, although it's over near the far wall, so if you weren't looking for it, you wouldn't know it was there. 

Perfect, that’s what I wanted to know and good to know that they’re offered at the small buffet I also saw on video shiptours. ☺️

Great @MVPinBoynton

keen to read your review as I am booked on the ROTTERDM in June 2023!

Did Billboard still serve snacks or fingerfood from the small buffet, and did you get served some figerfood as sailaway snacks? 🙂

Blue R = Revolutionized

Red letters mean new ship to the region

 

If you click on the link to see the entire flyer, you will find the key for the table.

Given that red ships are marked as “new ships” for the region, it is not 100% true. Celebrity Summit used to sail Alaska years ago until 2007. However, first Alaska season after the got “revolutionized”.

Okay that helps. Thank you. ☺️

Thanks for your great review!

From Koningsdam I still remember that there was a small bar with finger food in the Billboard lounge, as well as some small snacks served in the Crows nest. Is it still the case and did you get still served those items in 2022 on Rotterdam?

Special Appetizers, but they go quickly – don’t be late

What a great review of your incredible itinerary!

Those appetizers: were they just offered for sailaway in some ports, or every day? Furthermore, I remember those appetizers were also served in the Crows Nest on Koningsdam when you orered a cocktail. Is it still the case? 

And I remember fingerfood which looked like this being served in bars in the evening, I think it was the Billboard Lounge. 

As I sail on Rotterdam next June 2023, would be great to know more about this! 🙂

Perfect, thanks!

That should in any case mean she is doing Europe, maybe even from Copenhagen/Stockholm?
